Joel Klatt reveals Big Ten-SEC scheduling plan for when playoff increases to 24 teams

Fox analyst Joel Klatt reports that the Big Ten and SEC are preparing to implement a series of cross-conference scheduling agreements once the College Football Playoff expands to 24 teams. These matchups will span various competitive tiers to increase the number of high-value non-conference games.

Big Ten commissioner Tony Petitti has also pledged that his conference will commit to at least 10 games against Power 4 opponents under this new structure. Meanwhile, ESPN commentator Dan Wetzel has suggested that these shifts could eventually incentivize top programs like Ohio State, Michigan, and Penn State to pursue independence to maximize their own media revenue and scheduling autonomy.
