I don't agree because a three loss Big Ten Champ, with an easy schedule to begin with, doesn't deserve an equal chance as a one loss SEC runner up, or second place division champ. The three loss B1G Champ, even with his easy path to victory, deserves a shot, but not an equal one as a team in a conference that has proven the ability to put more time, effort, and support in to its product.


What happens if the best 2 SEC teams are 9-3? Do you think they are undeserving to be in the game? I mean you are only taking the scenario from 1 angle, in which a shitty B1G champ slides in over a more deserving SEC team. What about when the B1G has 3 very good programs, would you want the SEC to get completely left out of the chance to win a title?

I think the conference semifinals and finals have already determined who the best team is in a conference, and the SEC runner ups already had their shots and didn't get the job done

Edit: I respect the other side, but I think this gets rid of the eye test, where Bama goes over OSU in 2011, or Michigan almost went over UF in 06

If you go back and look at my post, you will see that my argument is the best teams from whichever conference. I used the example of the 2006 season, when there was an argument as to whether Michigan or UF should've got in. In a fair playoff system, both teams should've had the chance. Just because a teams wins the ACC or B1G or even the SEC, doesn't mean they are one of the 4 best teams in the county.

Thread Hijack:

1943, a year when only half the league played due to the war, is the only year every SEC team had three or more losses at the end of the regular season.
