re: Travis Gregory Stano says SEC should get 3 playoff teams

Need an 8 team playoff. This scenario will have to happen a few times with only one sec team getting in and that will lead to an 8 team playoff

We don't need an 8 team playoff just like we didn't need a 4 team playoff. We need conferences to function and if you can't win your conference, then you have no business winning the national championship.

When has the #8 team ever been considered the best team in the country? What we are doing is devaluing the drama of the regular season and are making it an "any given Saturday" type of thing, which is colossally stupid.

You should have to win your conference and then be considered one of the top 2 (or now, 4) teams to be able to play for a NATIONAL championship. We have the conferences set up. If we keep expanding the playoff, it makes the regular season less important and it makes conference championships less important, and that will be the ruin of college football.

But, sure, just try to get Alabama into a playoff in the hope that you can get on a run and win another bogus title when you couldn't win your conference championship that year. Makes sense.
