The SEC generally has two playoff-worthy teams each year. The problem with not expanding the playoffs is the loss of interest in college football. The PAC, big 12 and big ten have had seasons with no team in the field of four. Ratings go down and interest goes down. I think the field will be expanded.
A casualty of playoff expansion are the bowls and they already suffer because of the playoffs.

So is Kirby going to be Bowden or Richt?

I don't even read the posts from Bama ITT. We all know you will say whatever Saban tells you to say. I do find it hilarious that Bama is the poster child for 2nd chances and also the ones howling that the regular season sorts everything out.
NOT as a 2 loss SEC team. 2 SEC teams in the playoff with only one loss? Why not, we are the toughest, nastiest, meanest conference in college football, if you happen to reside in the WEST.

Also Kirby has made the playoff, so anyone who says he cannot win a big game is ridiculous. People used to talk shite on Bowden and Osborne about not being able to win a national championship, but nobody says that anymore.
And when Kirby wins it all like Bowden, Osborne, so it will go. He could also end up in the Mark Richt and John Cooper list of talented teams that didn't win the national championship. In that case, we simply proceed with the current game plan.

And nothing is going to change the fact that one of those SEC teams that go into the playoff better not be Georgia with 2 losses
You are wrong if the 2nd best sec team is that uga team, which is better than the #4 playoff team.

Wake me when it happens.
The barn would have already done it in 2017, under extraordinary circumstances. First, they were competing in the WEST. Plenty of style points for that alone. Second, they won against 2 #1 teams, smoking Georgia. How often does that set up? It could happen, but the mathematical odds it's Georgia out of the EAST with typical losses to the WEST, NO.

You seem very confused. No one is saying it will happen, only that it should until OU and ND can prove they can beat a strong sec team. The sec is just that strong, even though you seem to side with the idiots who do not think the sec is strong. Very odd behavior and a bad look.

If UGA loses it’s just bad luck. They are otherwise unbeatable. Anything else is proof you don’t actually watch and or understand the game. Just ask a UGA fan.
One UGA fan says that and now it's every UGA fan? Gtfoh.

Maybe don't lose to teams like South Carolina? 
Profit?

For the hard of hearing, one more time. The SEC isn't that strong. The SEC WEST is that strong. You speak of Georgia and hypotheticals. I speak of reality, things that have already taken place.
Alabama did it with ONE loss without playing in the SECCG and went to a 2 team playoff in the BCS in 2011. They did it again in 2017 with ONE loss in the 4 team playoff era. It's been done by a WEST team. I've never seen an EAST SEC team go to the BCS or the 4 team playoff without winning the SEC. Have you? I've seen Ohio State go to the 4 team playoff without even going to their conference championship game in 2014. But no SEC team from the EAST.
When has even a 2 loss SEC EAST team won the SEC and gone to the BCS or 4 team playoff?
I remember an LSU team in the WEST that lost 2 games and won the SEC and went to the BCS in 2007.
Conclusion: The WEST is the BEST. It is the heart of what the football world fears most. Dominance.

"Not everyone can be 2nd in their division and still get a chance at a championship."
That's called "Respect", and it has to be earned, not purchased....

It’s certainly strong enough to claim 2 of the top 4 teams in most years. Contrary to your flawed opinion, Uga is sometimes one of those 2 teams. Why that bothers you enough to the point of repeating nonsense is beyond me.

Could you see USC coming back to life this decade? They've been down for a long time.

There is a much larger loss of interest when all the best players opt out because they are not in the playoff. The bowls are going the way of the NIT tournament in basketball. They had better become affiliated with the expanded playoff or they are going to get left behind.

Yes.
They should still be able to out recruit Oregon.
They’re not dead like Nebraska and Tennessee.

He’s a crybaby. Name one time the best team in the country didn’t make it to the playoffs? Never. Georgia has never been the best team in the country and wasn’t even top 4 all but one time.
Kirby is a loser. Saban would have multiple championships with Kirby’s roster. Even Dan “dumbfrick” Mullen would have probably found a way to not frick up with some of Kirby’s rosters.

Yeah, we should let the Yankees into the playoffs every year because of Babe Ruth's success. frick those small market teams who win on the field

Compared to who?4 teams in the top 13 and 3 in the top 8? No other conference is close.

Here we go.
How "strong" was it in '18 when Bama beat its divisional opponents by an AVERAGE of 29 points?
How bout your average victory vs the West this year? I'm thinking it was closer to 35+ points.

LMFAO! You have no concept of reality.

Do you even remember all the fluke and improbable wins it took on the LAST week of the regular season for LSU to get there?
Talk about clueless
