Let me throw out a scenario here:

Let’s say that within the next year, all the details get worked out and the 6-6 playoff is set to start in 2023.

The plan is really built around the idea of having 5 power conferences.

What happens if we do see a realignment in the 2024-2025 range? Does the whole thing get reworked? or is this sort of Texas and Oklahoma’s way of absolving themselves of guilt because while without them the Big 12’s tv deal goes down the toilet, but the 6-6 playoff still gives the Big 12 champ a pretty solid playoff shot, just not a first round bye.
