Athletic directors from the Big Ten and SEC are set to meet in Nashville, Tennessee, next week to discuss a potential scheduling alliance and their preference for automatic bids in future College Football Playoff formats,

Georgia looked like the best team in the country most of last season. But the College Football Playoff came and went without Kirby Smart’s Dawgs because they had to face an elite Alabama team in the SEC title game, and the upset win for Nick Saban’s team ended up keeping Georgia out.

In a report by ESPN’s Heather Dinich, it seems like the two conferences will make a run at each of them getting four automatic bids to the CFP when they restructure its new contract in 2026. She goes on to say that there will be in-person discussions between the two conferences in Nashville, Tennessee next week about the potential change.
