It should be the best 4 teams. It shouldn't matter what conference they're in.

If you're not the best team in your conference then how can you be the best team

Maybe the 2nd best team in a conference is also 2nd best in the country

I never think that two teams from the same conference

I agree in principle, but conferences don't play round robins anymore.

Sadly, with the playoff they will feel more entitled to

It's possible for an NFL team to win the Super Bowl without winning their

I recognize everyone signed off on it, I am just saying I think it would

It's funny to see all the shrinking capitalists when it comes to football

P5 functions like a cartel. Cartels and monopolies are the bane of the free

We invented Cartels.

Because the 2nd best SEC team is often the 2nd best team in the country.

Also, We just need all SEC teams to have at least 2 losses which is possible

True

And the keyword is "think"

PolarisPrime

because they want, theoretically, the BEST teams, not conference champions.
