It's the narrative the media wants. I've said this for months. You'll see the AP Poll shite all over SEC teams that have eliminated themselves from Atlanta. The playoff committee as well. It's a self-fulfilling prophecy. They want 4 conference champs, and they'll get it unless there are epic collapses late and they have no other choice. Part of the SEC not being king is part of that. Note how they will in the same breath, they aren't saying that the Pac-12 needs two teams over the SEC, merely that it's better. It's all an overt effort to discount two SEC teams in order to protect their regional interests. Media in LA want the Pac 12 Champ in the playoff regardless of how many wins they have, so they are already prepping for their Champ to have one loss. You'll see this kind of rhetoric all year, from every region.

This is something the SEC has fought for years and years, until finally the superiority of the conference was so damn obvious that they couldn't ignore it. Then it's time to change the system.
The committee will be like the Socialist Party.
