Robert Griffin III does not like the idea of automatic College Football Playoff bids for the SEC and Big Ten.

If the playoff were to expand to 14 or 16 teams, college football’s two most powerful conferences would likely push for four automatic qualifiers apiece.

And with the power that the SEC and Big Ten have, they’d likely get what they want.

Four auto-bids for the big dogs, while the ACC and Big 12 might get just two teams each.

“The Soul of College Football is dying because of money,” Griffin said. “Allowing the Big 10 and SEC to get 4 automatic bids into another expanded College Football Playoff dilutes the importance of winning. 4 loss non conference champions don’t belong in the CFP. The proposed changes open the door for a Monopoly of the sport. The business of College Football is trying to destroying it.”

Do you agree with RGIII on this point?

I kinda do, but college football has been a big business for a long time. We just need to figure out how to deal with the current landscape.

RGIII offered up his own solution on X.

“The change the College Football Playoff needs is for Conference Champs to have a home game in the quarterfinals after the 1st round bye,” he said. “Otherwise they are getting blessed with the bye and then screwed with a neutral site game instead having home field advantage.

“Semifinals and Finals can be neutral site, but if we are going to reward conference champs then let’s reward them all the way and give them that home game in the Quarterfinals. Their fans deserve it.”
