Imo they will need to change this rule fast. Your basically going to have half the teams on the bye who have no realistic chance of winning a nc and 5-11 will be beating the shite out of each other to get to play a game vs a inferior opponent . Going to see a lot of big ten sec games or sec vs sec in that range .

Well when we have 2 super conferences (its coming thanks to the committee stiffing the ACC) The 1st place team in each conference gets a bye and top 2nd - 5th from each conference gets a playoff spot.

I don't see why you care. OU will never be a T4 team - they aren't a rich blue-blood program.

Think conference championship games are eventually going away. It’ll be a regular season crown.

You must think they hate money. As long as they are pulling in the viewers they do, there is no chance they get rid of them.

This was the intent of expansion all along, and only whiney-arse dipshits worried about”fairness” could see it. It’s why they didn’t expand to six (perfect) or 8 (approaching too many here, still >>> 12) first.

Only like 3-4 teams every single year have a "realistic" chance of winning. If you desperately desire to change something we can start by not having 12 fricking teams in it.

A&M would never make the Top Four. The media proved that years ago when they put us at #5. I imagine going forward the highest A&M will ever place is thirteen. The steers and their army of lawyers will see to that ...

Like I said, I hope the SEC chokes on your entitled asses.

Think how bad the Big 12 rep next year is going to be.
