The SEC adds small rigs to games because the league is so deep.

On one hand they built a juggernaut of next level talent

On the other hand, the SEC is too far beyond the rest of the CFB world.

9-3 SEC teams are title contenders in every other conference most years, but a 9-3 (insert random sec school) looks worse on paper than say an 11-1 BYU

I was listening to Joel Klatt on some show the other day and he said he had heard talk of college football moving to a points system similar to what the NHL uses.

There are 32 teams in the NHL. The is an East and West conference with either 2 or 4 divisions per conference. 16 playoff spots. During the regular season teams earn 2 point for a win and 0 for a loss. If the game goes into overtime I think both teams earn a point if I’m remembering right. The eventual winner may get a bonus point. Someone can correct me if I’m wrong on that but it is something similar. The top 3 teams in each division gets a playoff spot I think and then the points system kicks in to determine the wild cards. Anyway he was talking a system similar to that has been talked about for use in college football.

Say what you will about Eli Drinkwitz, and much has been said, bit I encourage anyone looking for a better way, to listen to his whole take on a 30 team playoff, not the structure so much, but the part about CFB being grounded in a regional draw, and subjecting the great game that it is, into major chaos even further, if teams start de emphazing football, as they have no chance at decent post season and fan interest dwindles. This will occur as several schools will be relegated to farm systems in effect for the SEC & B1G. His idea would protect the game for the nation and give all teams a chance to prove it in the field, to determine their destiny. I'm not saying I agree entirely , BUT...It's worth a read.
