[QUOTE="RonJohn, post: 816978, member: 2426"] I don't think the other conferences will actually boycott the SEC. However, I would support it if they did. That wouldn't be an attempt to just hurt the SEC. It would be an attempt to maximize what the other conferences have. It appears that the SEC was trying to expand the playoffs exactly because of this expansion. They would likely have preferred to have a vote an the expansion before it was public that Texas and Oklahoma were planning to join the SEC. By your logic, they weren't trying to maximize the SEC, they were trying to hurt the other conferences. The SEC now has more upper tier teams. What do the other conferences have? They have more teams. They have a larger geographic footprint. They could argue that they have more integrity with regard to education and developing people in more than just football. (I won't go into whether that is true or not for every school) If the did boycott the SEC, it wouldn't just be to hurt the SEC, it would be to maximize greater numbers and larger geography. If the SEC were to be excluded from the CFP, you would have one playoff with a team from: Midwest, East Coast(likely from the Southeast), West Coast, and wherever the fourth came from. Compare that to the SEC CFP which would be all teams from the South, and most from the Southeast. Which would get more national attention: West Coast vs. Midwest vs. East Coast of possibly rotating teams or Alabama, LSU, mutts, and UF every single year in the playoffs? If that were to occur for some time, there probably would be a reconciliation eventually. However, it would be a negotiation on what the groups would like to have. If things continue the way they are now, it will simply be the SEC dictating what everybody else does. [/QUOTE]
