The End of Cupcake Weekend, a 24-Team CFP, and the Knicks in the Finals

On this week’s episode, WAFF 48 Sports Director Carl Prather breaks down the biggest storylines coming out of the 2026 SEC Meetings, including the heated debate surrounding College Football Playoff expansion and the SEC’s move to a 9-game conference schedule. Would a 24-team playoff actually benefit the SEC, or would it water down the regular season? Is Greg Sankey publicly pushing back on expansion while quietly positioning the conference to benefit from it down the road? And why do so many SEC coaches suddenly seem hesitant about adding another conference game? To wrap up the show, Carl shifts to the NBA Playoffs. Is this finally the year the Knicks break through? Can the Thunder finish the job in the West, or are the Spurs ready to make their leap into contention?
