Quote of the Day
“With respect to format, the Big Ten has been consistent in its strong preference for a playoff
system that allocates spots based on conference standings and the results of play-in games. We want to better connect the regular season and the post-season. A critical goal of any post-season format, regardless of sport, is to keep as many teams alive as deep into the season as possible. We want more conference games to matter in November.”
– Big Ten commissioner Tony Petitti on College Football Playoff expansion
