this conference champions thing is a pile of crock. The goal is to find the best team and you could easily have a conference winner with 3 losses but an sec team with one loss not make it based on things I am reading on this thread. I want to see the best teams face off, however many we start with.

What if the SEC champ has 3 losses? they get in too
I mean everyone in the SEC rant keeps explaining how it "screws" the SEC. It doesn't. It takes all the subjectivity out of it, and gives a brightline way of getting in.
The first Bama/LSU game is played differently if this is in place

IMO, if you're going to have a playoff, get rid of relying on the polls. If you use conference champions you get two things, conference races that are still meaningful, and getting rid of opinion polls.
mrbroker:
First of all any Alabama fan saying that the conference champion is a crock of shite should be ashamed of themselves.
But if you're going to rely on polls, why have a playoff at all?
Alabama sitting there with twice as many SEC championships than the team with the next most...?
Last year was a fluke, 9 times out of 10, Alabama is going to be the one with the SEC title. The argument of 'next best conference team' smacks of Auburnism.
You want to go to the playoffs? Win your conference. The advantage for the SEC team there is that they will be bettter prepared for the playoffs after having played a tougher schedule.

in principle having only conference champions is the right thing to do. How can you claim to be the best team in the nation if you can't prove you're the best team in your section of the nation?
That said, I don't want to see that rule implemented because one day we can't back into the playoffs when we have no business being there and knock out Alabama.
