If Alabama and Ole Miss each win the rest of their games, Alabama doesn’t go to the SEC title game. So if Ole Miss beats Georgia for the SEC Championship, does Alabama still go to the College Football Playoff?
Hahahaha...
I went back a few years and looked at the top-25 rankings pre and post season. One year I remember there were 4 Big 10 teams in both pre and post. Not bad, 4 teams that were predicted to be tough, and they proved it. That same year there were 8 SEC teams in the top 25 pre, and 4 in the top 25 post. And one of the four wasn’t in the pre-season poll at all. So the SEC started with 5 way overrated teams...
In the past few years, 2 Big 12 teams have joined the SEC. One of them had a freshman QB re-write the conference record book and the other was the ‘co-champ’ last year. And the 2 teams I am talking about were NOT the cream of the big 12. Not by a long shot...
I do think the SEC is the toughest conference, but not near as tough as they all think. It helps when most of the conference starts as ranked teams...
With you Brother!!
Go Bully!!!
What they need is a playoff of League Champions. A simple 8 team playoff would handle it.
Yes, a League Championship would be the way to go.
There are 10 leagues so it should be a 16 team playoff with 10 league champs and 5 at-large bids.
Won’t work, makes too much sense...I truly would not want to be on this committee...Does a two loss Georgia make it into the tournament if it wins the SEC title game? Does any team make it if it is not the conference champion?
My final four?
Florida State
Michigan State
Oregon
Notre Dame
This is all predicated on Georgia winning the SEC...
There are 8 major conferences and the winner of the title game goes to the championship. There would be two wildcard slots for highest rated teams not in the 8 majors.
Nearly every team in the country would have a chance.
I meant there are 6 major conferences.
Have the mighty ducks or fightiing amish spend a season in the sec conf. They would be
singing the blues.
Which is why there has been the conference realignment for the past few years. Notre Dame is about the last of the independents and in coming years will be forced to align their football program with a conference or else they will end up looking on from the outside...
What if Georgia wins the SEC? Then what?
I hope you’re right. I’d love to see Miss State in the final four.
I even love it more if Baylor makes it. They should if they win out since they beat TCU.
Then they will be selling parkas in hell.
