So when LSU and Bamma played in the BCS Championship Game

and Bamma won after having already lost to LSU during the season - The date a specific game is played on is supposed to be definitive?

I much prefer that if you don't win you conference you have no business being in the playoffs - at least with only four teams involved.

What I don't get, is if the reason to go to a 4 game playoff is to make the

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

You are Auburn. You lose by 3 points on the road to Alabama.

9/15/14 10:27pm

No they shouldn't

9/15/14 10:36pm

Let me rephrase: they should be in consideration.

I never think that two teams from the same conference

9/16/14 12:32am

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

Sadly, with the playoff they will feel more entitled to

9/16/14 11:04am

Very true. I like 4 better. 8 is ideal for me.

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

I would agree with this if college football was set up the same way as the NFL

This is the right answer. if only.

This was decided upon during the negotiations between the P5s.

9/15/14 5:16pm

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

delbert

Agree. But as ecp mentions below, it' s about money and power.

9/15/14 5:34pm

It's all about money and control.

I agree.

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.

I disagree. In Basketball rematches are fine because

Slightly better than the 6-3 reg season offensive juggernaut battle

SwampCougar

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

True

The committee has its directive

The top two teems in the NFL may be in the same conference

delbert

And the keyword is "think"

9/15/14 10:07pm
