Step aside, Mama. When Greg Sankey ain’t happy, ain’t nobody happy. And no way can the Southeastern Conference commissioner, the most influential person in college sports, be happy.
The initial College Football Playoff rankings, released Tuesday, were not particularly kind to the SEC. The CFP committee was even more disrespectful to the Big 12, but the Big 12 is accustomed to such treatment. The SEC, not so much.
The committee’s first rankings included Big Ten teams Oregon and Ohio State 1-2, plus Penn State No. 6 and Indiana No. 8.
The top eight could be a line of demarcation, since the top eight seeds come December get either a bye in the 12-team bracket or a first-round home game. The SEC did get three in the top eight — No. 3 Georgia, No.
5 Texas, No. 7 Tennessee — but can’t be thrilled at the suggestion that the Big Ten has more top-end teams in this Year of our Lord 2024. People are also reading.
