"Past returns is no indication of future results"

In the future the SEC will not get 2 teams in the 4 team playoff because a committee dominated by B1G and PAC leans will not allow it. The future playoff will look like this pretty much every year:

1 SEC team
1 PAC team or ND
1 B1G team or ND
1 ACC or B12 team

Auburn and Alabama would both not be in the final four in 2013 even if they should have been. You are using a pool to defend a point that will now be made by a committee that has bias.
