College Football Playoffs second SEC team Questions?

According to the CFP, members will consider conference championships won, strength of schedule, head-to-head competition, comparative outcomes of common opponents and other factors such as injuries. -Nola.com

So basically, they decide using whatever criteria they want and decide themselves what matters most. I think Conference Champion will probably be the biggest criticism either way.

On average, how often do you think the SEC will get multiple teams in the Playoffs?

I am genuinely unsure based on the criteria they laid out.

I think Bama will get in regardless based off name recognition and recent accomplishments if they don't win the SEC. They also try to schedule good OOC teams.

However, would a 1 loss Mizzou team be given the same treatment if they weren't SEC champions. They are still in the SEC the toughest conference in football ,but there OOC schedule is like they aren't even trying.

What about a scenario in which a 2 loss SEC team won the SEC but a 1 loss SEC team exist? Do you say screw thew SEC champion, take both, or screw the 1 lost SEC team in favor of someone else?

Does a 9 game conference hurt or help the SEC at all from having 2 teams in the playoffs? (Is the 9 game schedule official yet for 2016?)]
I think it might effect the other BCS class bowl placements than anything.

Using this year as an example, would Stanford and Baylor be left out?

Baylor is a 1 loss big 12 champion be left out. To leave them would pretty much downgrade the conference champion criteria. I'm not sure if thats a good thing or not. I wouldn't blame Baylor fans for being upset for being left out.

Stanford is a 2 loss Pac 12 champion with a 9 game conference schedule. They choked against Utah and obv have 2 losses ,but they have played one of the hardest schedules in college football. The fact they have 2 losses and is equal to Bama in the computer rankings is kinda shocking.

Do you think teams might consider resting players before the conference championship if they feel the last game of the season has no effect on whether they are in the playoffs or not? They rest players in the NFL, why not in College football.

Do you think I am nuts for thinking this before the first 4 teams are selected? Maybe


Why couldn't we just keep the BCS as it is and gone to a 4 team playoff format? Or better yet, why didn't they just make an 8 team format playoff with conference champions and wildcard spots. It would make it much clearer who is going to the playoffs instead of this back-room bs.
