here is how it would look based on how the seeding format is for 2027. Since the 2026 season is chaotic like 2007, let’s go back in time to experience more chaos!

Does LSU still win it all or does someone else emerge?

Seeding is based on final BCS standings. #25 Connecticut is left out.

Uga was the most impressive team at the end of that season.

If there was a 24 team playoff in 2007 there would be a 64 team playoff now.

FCS went to a 24 team playoff in 2013 and hasn’t expanded.

The question is why the playoffs expanded. We would have stayed pole voted matchups for eternity if Saban hadn't came to Bama.

Georgia would've been the betting favorite. Those sonsofbitches were on a mission in the last 2 months. Finished #2 in the final poll.

Oh what could have been. Richt had some good teams and it’s a shame some weren’t given the expanded opportunity to play for a title during those years.

seeding is wrong

would have been based on final regular season rankings since there would be no conference championship games:

1. Missouri

2. West Virginia

3. Ohio State

4. Georgia

5. Kansas

6. Virginia Tech

7. LSU

8. USC

9. Oklahoma

10. Florida

11. Boston College

12. Hawaii

13. Arizona State

14. Tennessee

15. Illinois

16. Clemson

17. Oregon

18. Wisconsin

19. BYU

20. Texas

21. South Florida

22. Virginia

23. Cincinnati

24. Auburn

ETA: a third of the entire field (8/24) are current SEC members

I have no doubt that Mark Richt would have a very different legacy had this been the format, or frankly even a 4-12 team playoff during his time. So many times he had them playing at that level at the end of the season but his traditional early season disappointment or letdown in Jacksonville killed it. I am sure the same can be said for some other coaches as well.

A 4 team playoff would have given UGA a shot at it in 2002, 2007, and 2012.
Looking at that 24 team playoff is just ridiculous though. It's just so watered down. 12 seems like too much, but it is what it is

Richt would’ve found a way to choke a game away in the playoffs

Valid point. I should redo this since the CCG is eliminated so the second to last rankings, as you pointed out, would be the correct seeding. Thanks for that.
