Georgia would get left out. The committee will compare our SEC champ game loss to your 36-16 loss at LSU. They will also take Tua's health into consideration. Bottom line is they will chose the 4 best teams, not the 4 most deserving.
The melt would be so epic I am praying for this to happen. It would guarantee the play-off expansion

True until it isn’t.
The playoff committee would be dissolved if they left out one of the blue bloods who won their conference simply because a non-conference winner passed an eye test.
If Bama loses to UGA in the SECCG and the other teams are still rolling, they’ll be left out.

Lulz. fricking idiot. The two best teams could be in the same conference. You don't understand logic.

So Notre Dame should be disqualified automatically. I like it.

In the current system, absolutely.
Power 3 champs, then the subjectively best team from the rest.

It should be about matching up the four most deserving teams. “Best” is way too subjective and actual results should matter

I’m far from a Bama fan, but imo if they dominate for 12 weeks and lose by a FG to a top 5 team they should be in
They are one of the 4 best teams. Who cares when you lose?
So OU should get in for losing to a 3/4 loss Texas team in Oct but because Bama loses to a top 5 team in early Dec it’s considered worse?

all alabama is doing in the seccg is preserving their #1 seed.
If they lost they'll be... wherever Clemson vs bama isn't the first playoff game. It's still about tv entertainment.

Your deflection is almost as bad as a typical OSU coach’s wife trying to defend herself from her husband.
You made an absurd claim. Then you exhibited that you are incapable of creating a valid argument in the positive. You have shown a great lack of courage in even trying to formulate an argument that you know would only expose you to more ridicule. But I don’t really blame you: you are merely a symptom of the times.

If the system was a big 4 championship game was a playoff game then we could drop the polls.
I would be all for that but we would have to accept a scenario where a 3 loss Missouri beats #1 Bama in the seccg and gets to go to the playoffs. It's how the pros do it but the old men running NCAAF would never allow it. But that has to be the rule going in and that's not the case this year.

You make all my points for me, Gump.

2 of the best teams in the country can easily be in the same conference or even in the same division of a conference. Unfortunately football doesn't have a good way to truly determine which teams are really better

yeah too bad team in the division don't play each other. Why would the loser get a mulligan for not being good enough to win?
Do you make this same argument for every other sport?
Football doesn't have a real playoff.
You cant use only conference champs since not all conference champs can be represented. Plus not all conferences are equal.
Even Basketball doesn't give an automatic bid to every conference champ and that tournament allows like 68 teams now.
When it finally expands to 8 teams then maybe you can include all conference champs but they will still pick wild card teams based on some formula like RPI
The goal is to try to pick which teams are the best.
Winning your conference is certainly a plus.
The CFP is really nothing more than the BCS+2
If it expands to 8 teams it will be the BCS+6
BTW you think I'm making a case for Alabama to get in if they lose to Georgia. Actually I'm not.
If you cant get in the Playoff without winning your conference then how does Notre Dame get in?
How do you select which of the 4 conference champs go out of the 5 conferences? What about Group of 5 conference champs?
What if one of the conference champs has 2 losses? 3 losses?
Should they get in over obviously better teams that have only 1 loss?

I think to be honest if CU and ND win out it will be UM if they win out and UGA.
But it will be interesting after the final week of the regular season to see where ND is sitting along with UGA, UM, and OU.

You have made a sound argument and correctly identified the pros and cons- well done. That said, would you really want that system? I'm not that old but I still really cherish what makes college football so unique: the emphasis on the season. This has nothing to do with what I think will benefit Alabama, as history tells me that as soon as the rules change to alleviate a perceived Alabama advantage, Alabama just takes advantage of the new rule. So getting that disclaimer out of the way, assuming unranked four-loss Northwestern wins their last game, you really want to put them in over, say, a one loss SEC runner-up? Or undefeated Notre Dame? Again, it's a valid argument to make, I just think that system would make the regular season way less fun.

Did this not already happen when PSU beat OSU in the regular and PSU went on to win the Big 10 but yet OSU got in and PSU did not?

Nothing better than a huge thread full of all the losers whining about the best team in the country for the last 10 years. Each and every one of these butt hurt fans realizes their team will never reach this level of success. Meanwhile the Crimson Tide continues to roll, destroying everything in it's path.

I agree. We would need UGA to lose to GT for us to definitely get in with a loss.

Even the pros have wildcard teams.
