The current state is technically worse that expected to only have 2 At-large teams but there is a lot less likelihood that 3 SEC teams stay in the top 4 for playoffs. But this also does show that if a team (like BYU) happened to have gotten to top 5-7 at the end of the year they would have been in. And possibly as low as 8-10...
