The latest round of expansion, with the Big Ten and SEC becoming 16-team leagues, has led to a lot of offseason talk of college football becoming 2 super conferences.

At Big Ten Media Days, conference commissioner Kevin Warren was asked about a hypothetical SEC vs. B1G playoff. Warren told 247Sports’ Brandon Marcello that no option is off the table right now:

247Sports: There are many hypotheticals being thrown out there about the future of college football. For example, some say the SEC and Big Ten should just partner up and start their own playoff if expansion continues. Have you opened your mind to such possibilities?

Warren: Everything has to be on the table. Everything. We owe that to our student athletes, our fans, our member institutions, our alumni base and we owe it to college football at large. Put everything on the table.

Warren cautioned against being tied to doing things traditionally.

“We need to really sit down and stop saying, ‘Well, this is how we used to do it.’ I’m not saying throw away tradition. I epitomize tradition, but we have to stop asking why and start asking why not?” the commissioner told Marcello. “Why haven’t we done it this way? Doesn’t mean we change it, but we’ve got to be comfortable enough. And there is a certain mindset in certain areas that if even if you ask, why not, people will say, wait a minute, you’re not for tradition. I think you are for tradition, but we have to start asking those questions.”

In the interview, Warren also shares his thoughts on SEC commissioner Greg Sankey, reports of further B1G expansion and more. It can be read here.
