The SEC remains undecided on the future College Football Playoff format, despite other conferences favoring either a 5+11 or 4+4+2+2+1 model. SEC spring meetings saw heated debate, with the conference advocating for stronger consideration of strength of schedule in the selection process. While SEC coaches prefer the 5+11 model, athletic directors initially favored the 4+4+2+2+1. The SEC's decision impacts their potential schedule expansion from eight to nine games and is crucial for the CFP's final format decision by December 1st. The conference's internal disagreement complicates negotiations with other leagues.
