Did you read my post, like at all? I legit say that the SEC will get 3/4 most years. Maybe they get a 5th some years. Also some years others will rise and they will get less then 4.
Your comment was that it wouldn’t be “legitimate” without 4 in every year and that is just such a recency bias and completely false. Georgia has been the most dominate team the past two seasons but outside of that they only have one natty in school history and it’s over 40 years ago. Before bama started this unparalleled run with Saban they had 1 natty in the 30 years before that. Just because a team is on top right now doesn’t mean they stay up there.
The years the SEC deserves just 1-3 of the 12 team field would be an outlier compared to the past quarter century and it's hard to see how adding Texas, OU, NIL and unlimited media money is going to weaken them. I didn't mean to say it was IMPOSSIBLE, but it'd be an outlier and we're trending toward more SEC dominance rather than less, a big reason is the other unlimited money conference can't hang with them.
My point is that people crying about 4/5 SEC teams in a 12 team bracket should look at the data. That's what the results bear out very often, probably most years. I'm guessing 4 is the average, some 3, some 5.
Personally I'd be more interested in watching the old 5/6 power conferences get a single auto bid to an 8 team bracket, a G5 get a bid, and one at large that would usually deservedly be an SEC team. In that scenario I'd watch the SEC CCG the same as a National Championship semi final, then I'd watch the playoff the same way I watch march madness knowing a lot of years another conference champ or the G5 is a true cinderella. That's me wanting to create compelling TV, not just max out dollars for the Big Ten and SEC which is the world we live in going forward.
In that scenario every CCG is riveting to me so it's effectively a 16 team bracket with lots of teams from across the nation. As it is, I'm not really that invested in these CCGs and the times they are rematches it seems kind of weird that they happen at all.
