This talking point will be important in 2014. Should a 11-1 or 11-2 SEC runnerup be left out for a another conference champion with a better record?
A conference runner up shouldn't be in a college football playoff. Conference championships can be an objective way to whittle down the field. Too many teams and too few games to take two or representatives from one conference.

I support the nine game schedule BUT ONLY if they only count divisional games only. That way the addition creampuff on Bama's schedule and hard game on LSU's won't matter. How do they assign cross divisional opponents? LSU plays SEC East 1,2,3 and Bama plays 7,6, 5 Good news for SEC East 4!

There will be strong political pressure (U.S. Congress) to open the playoffs to non-BCS schools.
Bama with 11-1 with a OT loss to the SEC Champion ranked #1 could get in, but that situation will not come along very often.
Leaving the final choice up to a select committe really opens the playoffs to political pressure, and I guess that was the aim.
