Athletic directors from the Big Ten and Southeastern Conference are slated to meet next week in Nashville, Tenn., with College Football Playoff automatic bids and a possible nonconference football scheduling arrangement between the leagues on the agenda,

Athletic directors from the Big Ten and SEC reportedly will meet in Nashville next week to discuss a potential scheduling agreement going forward,

The two initially pushed for four automatic bids apiece, and will likely still fight for that, but the SEC and Big Ten also countered with a "3-3-2-2-1" model that would guarantee three spots for each conference,
