College Football Playoff...

[Robbymoto]

The SEC bias has been discussed here incessantly and yet some think they won’t get preferential treatment. I can see any of the scenarios you propose happening.

SEC 4
B10 4
ACC 1
B12 1
G5 1
ND

While everyone ******* about the SEC Ohio St has been getting away with murder for decades

There are way too many variables right now to say that the SEC runner up gets in automatically. What if the runner up went in as the last at large, and then gets blown out?

I don't think anyone in the SEC is good enough to blow out another one of the quality SEC teams by a margin large enough to sway that.

The only one I can think of would be Texas over Tennessee and not even sure that matchup is possible.

The only SEC team with a clear path to the SECCG that I could see that would possibly get left out losing as the runner up is A&M. That is only because they got boat raced by South Carolina, South Carolina could lose to Clemson next week, and then A&M's best win is quickly fading with LSU struggling. Plus, if they beat Texas, the questions on Texas beating nobody would surface.

That's what makes college football so great. We think something like this, and then the unexplainable happens.

This playoff system is far from perfect. But the fact that we’re all complaining about it is evidence that it’s good for the sport.

Well...pretty soon you'll have a 12 team playoff with the SEC and BIG10 each sending 4 division winners and 2 wild cards into a bracket. We can talk about how that's good for the sport when it happens.
