SEC coaches say they feel 'misled' after voting to make their conference schedules harder

The SEC is transitioning to a nine-conference game schedule, ending years of a non-conference advantage. Coaches like Jon Sumrall and Eli Drinkwitz feel 'misled' as they believed the change would push for a 16-team playoff expansion, which did not materialize. The shift aims to create tougher schedules but has sparked frustration over unmet expectations.
