The days of the dynasty are over.

Another victory for Jim Delany.

How so? Conference dominance can still exist... the SEC has a crop of mediocre QBs and almost all the big players are rebuilding.

SEC will still produce great teams that will vy for the national title year after year.

If a team is truly a dynasty type team the playoffs won't change that...

Wrong. Gone are the days when an SEC team will face an SEC team in a championship game.

The playoff is all about equality. It's about leveling the field of play.

Honestly, I could care less about "Dynasties" based on subjective polls (be it SEC or otherwise). The best team in the FBS for any given season has needed to be decided on the field for years. This years projected BCS computer simulations prove it was wrong as Bama would have been playing FSU for the title.

No, it has ended mismatches created by teams going undefeated against weak schedules - ala ND in 2012 and Nebraska 2001. These teams now have to win a difficult game before reaching the championship. Likely, this will make the championship games themselves more consistently competitive.

Agree with this as well.

Wrong. Once we get to an 8 team playoff will open the door for two dominant SEC teams in the field. In 2008, 2009, and 2011, you can't tell me two SEC teams wouldn't have gotten through an 8 team bracket given they were on opposite sides to begin with.

Well, winning 2 games against top 4 teams is obviously more difficult than just winning one.

Having a dynasty period is super difficult and now just even more so, but not impossible.

I mean, how often does a legit dynasty come around in college football? It's about a once a decade thing.
