College football fans are growing tired of the SEC's authority in College Football Playoff changes

Someone has to take charge.

There's no one truly in power of college football, so the SEC has taken charge, but the rest of college football is not taking kindly to the conference's self-proclaimed authority.

Brett McMurphy reported Tuesday that conference commissioners, including the SEC's Greg Sankey, decided to start over while in the midst of discussions on how the College Football Playoff will be formatted come 2026. The SEC wants things a certain way that will obviously benefit its own members, while the rest of college football also wants things its own way where the SEC doesn't get any unfair advantages.

The SEC and Big Ten were set on four automatic qualifiers, but then SEC coaches were eventually against that model. Regardless of the ultimate outcome, though, the SEC wants more of a benefit for strength of schedule as it boasts to be the toughest conference in college football.

One model to do that would be the top 16 teams making the CFP regardless of conference. Anyone who follows college football knows a straight seeding for the CFP would send a flood of SEC teams to play for a national title. That would obviously benefit SEC teams while other conferences get left out.

Other college football conferences are rightfully upset as the SEC throws tantrums to get its way. However, the SEC has also earned its right to have the loudest voice at the table. There's chaos with no leadership, and the SEC is the only one stepping up to take charge with no one else to put it in its place.

Regardless, though, even as Sooner Nation is now part of the SEC power, it's still annoying for any college football fan to not even know how the national champion of their favorite sport will be decided and to have that process constantly altered.
