The intense rivalry between the Big Ten and SEC leagues in college football is fueled by competition over playoff formats, schedule strength, and national dominance, with upcoming head-to-head matchups expected to influence perceptions of superiority.
CFP Committee chair Warde Manuel addressed questions about the College Football Playoff rankings, emphasizing the importance of schedule strength in team evaluations.
