re: Thinking about the four team playoff, how long until we get to eight?

So you're saying if Missouri had pulled the upset over Bama that they would have been in?

No I will repeat what I said when the season started.

8 team playoff begins with 4 CCG's
4 expected winners will get 1st priority for 4 playoff spots

If an expected CCG winner gets upset then they fill in with a B12 or Notre Dame or BYU based on who has 0 or 1 loss at the time.

The playoff was designed to reign in the SEC not benefit it. It was also intended to consolidate the Power 5 at the expense of the Gang of 5. Going to 8 just destroys what Delany worked so hard to get so don't hold your breath waiting. B1G may suck at football but they have the money, population, and power to not let the power be lost.
