SEC commissioner Greg Sankey recently stated that his league still "stands alone" despite the Big Ten's dominance in recent years, including winning the past three national titles and holding a 4-0 record against the SEC in head-to-head College Football Playoff (CFP) matchups.

In other college football news, Oklahoma athletics director Roger Denny believes that CFP expansion could lead to scheduling tougher nonconference games and potentially reviving the Sooners' rivalry series against Oklahoma State.

Meanwhile, in college basketball, former Iowa State forward Milan Momcilovic, the No. 1 player in the transfer portal, has withdrawn from the NBA draft and will play college basketball next season.

Sankey's comments highlight the ongoing debate about the relative strengths of different college football conferences. The SEC's reputation as a powerhouse league is being challenged by the Big Ten's recent success.

For Oklahoma, reviving the Bedlam rivalry series against Oklahoma State could have significant implications for the team's schedule and competitiveness.

Momcilovic's decision to return to college basketball could impact the balance of power in the NCAA, as he is considered one of the top players in the transfer portal.
