With an additional conference game, SEC schools might look to cancel future matchups against Big 12 opponents.

There's no major conference realignment to talk about (for once) ahead of a new college football season. Delaware and Missouri State moved up from the FCS to FBS and will play in Conference USA. But doesn't mean realignment is over. There's more to come for the 2026 season with the rebirth of the Pac-12 and a new-look Mountain West.

With the SEC adding a ninth conference football game, it's time to see how badly the Big Ten really wants College Football Playoff expansion.
