In 2012, an argument COULD have been made that the SEC had three of the top 4 teams in the country with Alabama, Georgia and Florida.
An argument "COULD" have been made ...
That is the point. You throw this into complete subjectivity again. You are only talking about the eyeball test. We have no way of knowing.
Make it all conference champions. Every SEC team has an equal chance to win the SEC. If you can't do that, then what are you doing claiming that you are the best team in the nation? So, you want a "do-over"? There will never be a best 2 out of 3. It will always just be "the best team that day" and we will never really know.
You are destroying the conference system and what is good about college football. A playoff is a really bad idea unless it takes the conference champions. So what if the other conferences are weaker? If the SEC champ wins, they will prove their superiority. If they lose, they still have the validity of the SEC title.
This isn't basketball.

Actually, the way the SEC has dominated over the past 8 years should prove the point.
It would have been a sham in 2011, for say....Ohio State to go to the National Championship instead of Alabama. (Example...I don't remember who the contenders were back then)
I also felt pretty bad that Georgia got left out of the Sugar Bowl in 2012 and Florida went. Obviously I feel that way since I am a Georgia fan, but we beat Florida in the regular season....not using the eyeball test on that. That was a fact.

I disagree. The two best teams in the SEC played for the National Championship in 2011. AND, IMO, the two best teams in the coutry played for it. had it been Georgia and Alabama instead of LSU and Alabama you would, I suspect feel differently. BOTH teams were teams for the ages. GREAT teams. It just stings because LSU came out on the short end of the stick,
