you corn dogs do realize that with the new format that it is likely that 2 teams from the SEC will play in the playoffs


Possible, but not likely. The second SEC team will have to have a better won/loss record than other conference champions.

Why do you think the other conferences demanded a select committee to make the final four selections? The SEC now has a guaranteed seat in the playoffs, but don't expect two.

If by some reason two teams from the same conference make the playoffs, they will meet each other in the first round of playoffs--not the championship game.

I wouldn't bet my house on that if I were you. Granted, a one loss 2nd SEC won't jump an undefeated conference champ from another major conference. But it wouldn't surprise me at all to see a one loss 2nd SEC team get in over a one loss ACC or B1G team considering how weak those two conferences are compared to the SEC. As a matter of a fact, I'm guessing we'll end up seeing 2 SEC teams in the playoffs most years.
