SEC stands firm against 24-team CFP expansion

With a push for a 24-team College Football Playoff gaining traction, Matt Hayes says the SEC will not agree to 24 teams, arguing Greg Sankey and the league are entrenched in preserving the current structure (or a limited expansion) to avoid diluting the regular season. The 2024 memorandum of understanding requires both the Big Ten and SEC to approve any playoff-format changes, making sweeping expansion unlikely and keeping the 12-team format in place, with a chance of a smaller increase if the conferences stay firm.
