Why do you consider a conference championship not a worthy goal fora team to accomplish? The CCG is the method of crowning a conference champion. That is still a worthy goal.

But would that team have even made the 12-team CFP under the proposed rules? They were #13 in the final BCS rankings that season, even after their upset win in the SECCG.
Projecting that into the potential future, what would the significance of what was once considered a crowning achievement - SEC Champions - be if your team missed the CFP? The conference crown becomes an afterthought, and the regular season essentially meaningless.
Another excellent point.

As I’ve stated before, the passion and pageantry of CFB has been destroyed by money. It was inevitable, I suppose, but the expansion of the CFP will just make it worse.
Aside from the rich and powerful becoming more rich and powerful, I see no reason for a playoff of any kind in college football.

Did you prefer it when they named the national champion with a popular vote from sportswriters before they even played in their bowl games?
As for sportswriters deciding national champions, it's no different to me than a committee (some with no football experience at all) deciding who should have the opportunity to be the national champion.

Let's take a look at 10 years later and you have LSU beating Alabama in the regular season and it didn't even matter. Where was the emphasis on the regular season? LSU finished with a better record and Alabama didn't even win their division.
Or we can go back to the 1996 season. Florida lost to Florida State in the last game of the regular season yet got redemption by beating them 5 weeks later for the national championship. Where was the emphasis on the regular season?

If a P5 has a 7-6 conference champ, they probably ain’t getting in. It will probably allow for another G5 conference champ to get in with that case.

This would’ve been the case a few years back actually. 2018 maybe? Oregon was the 7th highest ranked conference champion. Two G5 would’ve gotten in. Western Kentucky and coastal Carolina IIRC?

I'm dumb... It was actually last year.
