Big 12 Should Accept the Unfair CFP Deal & Back the ACC's Survival

In this episode, we dive into the proposed expansion of the College Football Playoff (CFP) to 16 teams — and the controversy surrounding automatic bids. With the SEC and Big Ten potentially locking down four auto-bids while the ACC and Big 12 only get two, is this an unfair power grab or a strategic necessity?

I break down why the Big 12 might be wise to accept the deal despite the imbalance, and why its long-term future could depend on the survival of the ACC. Plus, a message for fans: rooting for the collapse of other conferences may backfire. This episode is a must-listen for college football fans, realignment watchers, and those tracking the future of the CFP.
