I fully expect us to get at least two in every year and possibly 3 or 4.

Let’s just call it 4, which teams do you think are best suited to constantly be in the mix every year?

My picks(in order)

UGA
LSU
OU
Bama

Next up:

Tennessee
Texas
Florida
Auburn

I think Oklahoma and Texas are in for a rude awakening when they join the SEC.

Consistently? UGA and Bama.

LSU will rotate in every now and then.

As it stands now, UGA and Alabama will be regular fixtures.

LSU and Oklahoma will be in fairly consistently.

Auburn, Florida, Tennessee, Texas A&M, and Texas will all expect to be yearly contenders to get in as well.

I expect that three SEC teams will make a 12-team playoff every year, and some years four may make it. I expect that the expanded playoff will make playoff appearances the main barometer of the program is for over half of the conference. Missing the playoffs for three or four years will be evidence of a stagnant program, and will lead to a coach being on the hot seat.

2 teams from any given conference will be the max. Playoff expansion is being done to include more conference champs and a couple G5 teams.

Expanding the playoffs is about excluding the SEC, not including it

No idea.

It depends on how the scheduling works out.

Is it crazy to think we’ll have 5 teams in it every year?

LSU will be looking for a new HC after 5 years if Kelly doesn't win a championship at LSU.

It will essentially be what the premier league is now: 7 teams who think they should be there all or most years vying for 4 spots.

You’ll have teams go on runs but there’s going to be a lot of rotation IMO.

OU is looking ahead to a long drought without much success. They know it.

I’m sure I’ll get roasted for asking, but how will the “top” 12 be decided? From the poles 1-12 or will it be pulled from the top 25 or conference champs regardless if ranked or not?

I think over the long run, we are going to see increased parity within the SEC but a growing gap between the SEC and the other conferences. The Big Ten will retain some relevance, but the other conferences will get left in the dust.

3 teams in most seasons seems most realistic.

As we're dropping divisions, it gets a little different with league play and the SECCG (both of which participants would be in a 12 team field most years). In the NIL landscape you would expect some combo of UA, UGA, LSU, TX, and TAM to be perennial contenders (+/- TN, Auburn, Florida) as they seem poised to hoard the best ooayer

Nope. Just Alabama (and Georgia as long as Kirby is there).
