SEC rise to being the dominant conference was an evolution | Locked On Ole Miss Podcast

Welcome to the latest episode of the Locked on College Football podcast, hosted by Steven Willis! This week, we explore the seismic shifts in college football that are reshaping the sport as we know it. 🏈 SEC's Rise to National Prominence: Discover how the SEC evolved from a regional league to a national powerhouse through strategic expansion, the creation of the conference championship game, and a pivotal TV deal with CBS in the late 1980s and early 1990s. 📈 Changing Landscape of College Football: With the expanded 12-team playoff, conference realignment, and NIL deals, this season promises unprecedented excitement and opportunities. How will these changes impact your favorite teams? 🏆 Utah's Move to the Big 12: Utah's transition from the Pac-12 to the Big 12 brings new challenges and opportunities. Will they emerge as one of the conference's top programs? 📉 Pac-12's Demise: The Pac-12's inability to adapt and make forward-thinking decisions, including the mismanagement of their network, led to the conference's downfall. What lessons can other conferences learn from this? 🌹 Rose Bowl's Declining Relevance: The Rose Bowl's adherence to tradition may be causing its importance to wane in the evolving landscape of college football playoffs and bowl games. Is the "Granddaddy of Them All" losing its luster? Don't miss out on this packed episode, where we break down everything you need to know about the future of college football.
