Florida president Bernie Machen reportedly said Wednesday that he is gaining increased support among leaders of Southeastern Conference schools in his push for a playoff for major college football teams.

According to ESPN.com, Machen said he proposed his ideas to SEC presidents at a meeting in March in Atlanta and that the topic will be on the official agenda of the conference's spring meetings in Destin, Fla., in April.

"I will make my formal presentation," Machen told ESPN.com. "This is a big step. I didn't think they'd allow me to be a part of the agenda. But I will have my day in court."
