Helped LSU in 2007. Otherwise, my Georgia Bulldogs would have played Ohio St. in the BCS championship. Bet y'all are happy you played in and won that SEC Championship.


Ohio St. would have fricked y'all seven ways from Sunday that year and you know it.

If we had a 8 team playoff then all 5 major conference champions should get in . Maybe there would need to be a rule keeping other teams in the conference from making the playoffs if the conference champ has 4 losses or more .

What if a 7-5 and an 8-4 team replaced USC and Wisconsin? Wouldn't want to watch those blowouts.

So a 3 loss team is okay? How about just the best 8 teams?

I know people want an easy way for the title but you should have to earn a title.

Winning 3 tough games earns you that.

If you have to beat a 7-5 team in the playoff to win a title, you didn't win "3 tough games."

A 7-5 team will never be high enough in rankings to be considered.

I don't think you understand the premise of the thread. Let me guess, you didn't read the original post?

That's literally what they do now with four teams. That's is basically what I said in the original post. I don't want it to change to become a scenario where the conference champs automatically get a bid like in the NCAA basketball tournament.

I mean anything can be improved
4 isn't enough IMO.

Maybe to you because you can't appreciate the effort and preparation that goes into earning a banner that will always have a special place at the school and stadium. Maybe you are one of the fatass couch QBs that has never played a minute of competitive sport.

Frankly its sad that people like you shite on hard earned championships.
