re: Honest question- Which team makes it to Atlanta first? A&M. Ole Miss, KY, Vandy?

Depends on who happens to have a good team and get the steak and blowjob schedule from the SEC first. With the proposed formats being thrown about it is entirely possible a team that might have finished third in its division back in the day could go unbeaten in conference play and sneak into Atlanta if they get to avoid the real kingpins of the conference that season.

By the same token a team that would have finished second or third in its division back in the day might get the weenie put to them and get a march of death schedule that leaves them barely eligible for a bowl game.

I suspect the format is going to be tinkered with for a few years until things get sort of evened out. But it will be wild for a while.
