Honestly true and proven targeting --they should keep the 2nd/1st format. With what we know now especially (brain and such)

True and proven is still subjective. We’ve seen obvious targeting calls overturned and vice versa.

Are these unique to SEC or are the for all of CFB?

Appears to be SEC only. Seems odd that a conference rule could be counter to NCAA rules.

The SEC has been making a lot of noise about breaking away from the NCAA entirely over the past few days, so this seems like a small but tangible step in that direction. I feel like we’re about to be in for a turbulent time in the sport, even more so that what the portal has already created.
