I'm kind of indifferent to the whole thing, but if you're going to do 2 P5 OOC games why not just do 1 and a 9th conference game? That's kind of 6 in one hand half dozen in the other
no, it's not
it puts my school (UGA), Florida, FSU and Clemson at a disadvantage
we either NEVER get to see quality OOC games in season, have to drop a traditional rivalry game or have to be at a competitive disadvantage by scheduling stronger than the rest of our conferences

I’m ok with that if Notre Dameis no longer eligible because they play zero conference games.
But we all know the NCAA would make an exception to the Pedo Brigade.

Yes...you REALLY they that'd give stronger consideration to a Pac 12 champion over a SEC champion"?
the rumor I saw in the other thread basically said that SEC officials may be concerned that our 8 game conference schedule may put us at a disadvantage insofar as getting 2 teams in the playoff, especially if the playoffs go to 8 teams
even now, if you have 5 onference champions with identical records, we may be the odd man out in a year we don't have a "marquee" program as champion
if Bama, LSU, Florida or UGA is champ, no issue (also aTm to a lesser extent)
anyone else may be left out, even Tennessee

Alabama didn’t schedule Duke. The kick off classic schedules the teams. Alabama nor Duke have any effect in that game.

Great idea!

That is factually wrong.
Each team can refuse the game.
Auburn did that about 10 years ago.
The kickoff classic doesn't want/need to scramble at the last minute to fix scheduling. So they listen very carefully to input from each team.

maybe not,but they great influence over the playoff selection committee, so this idea is not entirely impossible
in fact, I could EASILY see the committee announcing that they will give preference to conference champs that have at least 9 conference games
IF that actually happens, the SEC (or rather, individual schools) can circumvent that by scheduling 2 P5 OOC games
They have no influence over the playoff committee.
Repeat after me: The NCAA is not involved with the college football playoffs.

Who are they going to get to replace the game with though? I somehow doubt they were sitting around picking Duke to start with, and it seems more like a got stuck with Duke deal.

So what are you saying, if the NCAA had a 9 game requirement for the playoffs, no one would ever win another national championship?

Bama… it's kind of like college only with stupid people

The NCAA would be cutting off its own nose to spite its face by doing this and they know it.
Here's where ALL the trouble is coming from ... Bama.
Bama can make the playoffs without even making the Conference Championship game. At the same time they can do it without playing a strong OOC opponent.
That's what this is all about, plain and simple.
Here’s the hypocrisy of that where Clemson and other current contenders are concerned.
Clemson playing a nine game ACC regular season conference schedule is not the same as playing a nine game SEC schedule. Bama’s schedule, any SEC team’s schedule, is going to be inherently tougher than Clemson’s EVEN IF Clemson played a nine game ACC schedule that included Notre Dame. At least until SC gets back on track and challenges Clemson again, which is coming soon enough.
Only the B1G can, and should, make a similar argument to the SEC's.
The NCAA will never get the vote to push a 9 game rule through.

Are you agreeing with me or disagreeing with me.
Bama absolutely has a direct line to the kickoff classic and absolutely was involved in picking the team.
I'm not saying Bama handpicked Duke. But I'm saying that Bama was as involved in picking the opponent as the classic was.
Like i said, auburn bailed on the game a decade ago. The last thing the classic wants is to lose bama.

When did the NCAA become involved with the playoffs and criteria for making them?
They have nothing to do with it.

Any conference game parity requirement would be disadvantageous to the SEC. If it's 8 with 2 power 5 OOC games you get the UGA ND game because it's worth scheduling ND.
If the SEC had to play 9 in conference, I'd say schedule a Colorado and a Kansas every year and keep it pushing.

What makes you think they'd want to play us? Why would they?
You REALLY want a home and home with Kansas?

I was wondering the same thing....
The NCAA only givens eligibility for FBS.
Playoff off requirements and scheduling is completely controlled by the Presidents of the FBS Schools and their commissioners.
The only only thing the NCAA also has some responsibility for is the divisional format for conferences., meaning allowing B12 to have a conf Champ game without divisions

9 conference games is fine for sucky conferences, and it may not be a big deal for the top 2 or 3 SEC teams.
However, for State in the SEC West, we had the 11th toughest schedule last season and we don't need it any tougher. A 9th conference game would not be as big a problem as when State was perennially struggling to get a 6th win, but it could still cost us a bowl level.
