On this Thursday edition of “The Flagship”, presented by College Corner, David Brandt of the Associated Press joins to react to Andy Staples’ super league. We talk about the hypothetical Big Ten and SEC divisions, what it would mean for Ole Miss and how it would affect college football.

Staples introduced the idea Monday on his On3 podcast. It is purely speculative, but would add a ton of intrigue to an already uber competitive Power 5 football. What would it mean for Ole Miss and Lane Kiffin’s pursuit for national relevancy and CFB Playoff campaign.

“First, let’s assume the Big Ten and SEC continue to work together but don’t actually merge. It would be cleaner if they did, but we’re now dealing with dueling TV networks,” Staples said. “Let’s also assume this is just for football. The other sports remain governed by the NCAA as we know it, and their championship formats remain the same even if some schools change conferences.

“Let’s also be realistic and assume the Big Ten and SEC won’t be kicking out anyone currently residing in the league. That’s going to frustrate fans who think their team deserves a spot over, say, Indiana or Vanderbilt,” Staples said. “Leagues kicking out teams is probably less likely than the biggest brands leaving to form their own league. (But that’s another hypothetical column entirely.)”
