I’m resigned to multiple SEC teams making the playoff, but dammit, it just doesn’t seem right to me.If a single conference is getting 4 or 5 teams in the CFP there is no need to have a 12 team playoff. The conference schedule has already separated the wheat from the chaff.
Okay, you’re saying you want the BEST teams in the playoff, but by assuming the SEC is already ahead of the rest of CFB you’re making an assumption that tilts the criteria. I’ve always been of the opinion that if you want in the playoff, you gotta prove it by winning your conference. Now, that doesn’t fit into a 12-team play-off scenario, but I’m sorry - if you can’t win your conference (or heck, even your division), what gives you the right to argue you’re the best team in the whole damn country? You can’t even win your 14-team group, yet you say you’re in the running for the best team in the nation?
Thats just me. I know my opinion has lost the argument.
My ideal playoff is 8 teams - the P5 champions, plus the top ranked G5 champion and maybe 2 wild cards. Actually, the ideal situation might be just six teams (P5 champs plus one G5) but I recognize 8 teams works better than 6 in a tournament scenario. Say that eliminates a Georgia or an Alabama that loses the SEC championship … too bad, win the game if you want to play for a natty.
