re: getting 3 of the top 4 in the first playoff ranking

You know what should piss off all SEC-homer fans? None of the teams you mentioned are SEC expansion teams. And none of the expansion teams are still unbeaten. And none of the expansion teams has even been to the BCS/CFP.

So you’ve thinned out the effective payout each “original” SEC team receives; doubtful that t.v. sets added you so proudly brag about are more important than championships. Oh, and those championships? You now have Clemson regularly taking their share. And those newbie leaches? A&M (especially) has some of the worst bandwagon fans that take more joy in preventing championships once in a blue moon than ever winning their own.

So congrats? on possibly getting 3/4 SEC teams in the early playoff rankings. And get ready to bitch when the final tally includes Big XII, B1G, PAC12 or Notre Dame.
