re: SEC should have pass to final four if undefeated, regardless of non conference s

The "grind" argument is a legitimate point, but the problem is its subjectivity. There just aren't enough games to establish how teams compare to each other, so the "grind" argument only works if you start from the same assumption about conference strength.

It is true, though, that playing more physical and more athletic teams week to week takes more of a toll by the end of the season. Unfortunately, this is not a very quantifiable argument.

Agreed. I guess the question is which is more difficult:

Having UGA, Idaho and Bama the last 3 weeks, or having Illinois, Michigan State and Michigan.

UGA and Bama are way better than the 2nd team on OSU's list (maybe better than MSU too, but that's hard to decide today), but Idaho is way worse than the 3 teams OSU is playing
