Translation: The second place team in the SEC West is 11-1, has played a tougher schedule, but Michigan State is 11-2 and they actually won their conference. Michigan State over A&M/Auburn/LSU/Ole Miss/MSU.

The committee has made it clear that strength of schedule will be a factor in determining the top four teams, but how is that metric determined? The bulk of games are played against conference opponents, so it would make sense that the committee would need to determine which conference is the best before it determines who has the toughest schedule.

So? the whole playoff was designed this way to make sure two SEC teams don't get in.

Doesn't matter this year. The second place West team is going to have 2 losses minimum. The winner may even have 2.

SEC champ gets in an no one else. That is the whole point. Ratings for the rematch sucked, which is good only for LSU fans.

The whole point of the selection committee was to keep the SEC runner-up from getting into the playoffs.
They could have used the BCS and added the extra game as a 'plus one' system but that was almost a guarantee that the SEC would have gotten two in every year.

I don't care to waste time worrying about this. Honestly, if my team wins the conference, I don't won't to have to deal with another SEC game. And it would very likely be the #1 vs #4 match up. That's like playing two SEC championships in a row. And if you win both, a national championship. Screw that.

It's not a playoff. It's just 1 extra game.

I do not think the committee would take 11-2 MichST over 11-1 A&M/Auburn/LSU/Ole Miss/MSU
let's wait till we are anywhere close to those being the only two options before we clamor to burn it all down.

I got no problem with that. You want to go to the playoffs, you gotta win your conference.
Why let 2nd rate teams play for it all?
I mean, it's not like the committee is trying leave the SEC champion out. Maybe it could be interpreted as, "Since the SEC is so tough, we'll use SOS to make sure and SEC champion gets in - even with 2 losses."

You also feel your balls regularly.
Let both go, relax, and revisit this topic after the SECCG.
That'll be $100.

The fans who deluded themselves into thinking the SEC would get 2 teams in all the time were crazy to begin with.
The vast majority of the time a conference will not put 2 teams in, even if they deserve it.
That's the whole reason they went to a committee rather than use the old BCS formula.
The new system is still great though, as previously there was a very real chance that a 1 loss SEC champ might get left out for 2 garbage undefeated teams, that isn't an issue anymore.
Win the SEC, you're in, no scoreboard watching necessary.

I will tell you what will nauseate me. Oregon is in the top 5 year in and year out. They have played absolutely sloppy this season and if they lose one game and are chosen above a one loss Auburn, Bama or A&M team, I will go insane.
