Now you're just being argumentative. Wisky over Auburn? Come on son.

But that's irrelevant to my point. It's still situational. Just push them back to 3 losses apiece if that helps make it more obvious. An SEC team can lose every OOC game they play while winning the SEC...and they won't sniff the playoff. Winning the SEC is a great accomplishment. But's it's not an inherent guarantee of going to the CFP.
Your scenarios are too remotely possible to be considered practical for this discussion but if you need them to hang onto your point then, okay.

conference championship
Here's your issue.
Focusing on Ohio State alone is your other issue.
Your issue is that you can't accept that no other team...conference champion or not...was close to Alabama in consideration. Kirby Hocutt...remember him, the guy whose dick you couldn't keep out of your mouth before selection Sunday...told you point blank. Then you decided you didn't like the taste.

Nice edit up there, Vandy.

If you think no other team deserved to make it over Ohio State last year then there's no way you can say any team deserved it over Bama this year. Alabama and Georgia had the best losses of the 4 playoff teams.

A logical expansion would be to 8 teams. All 5 conference champs automatically qualify. That leaves 3 at large bids for the best of the rest.
But there are more than 5 conferences. Under your plan UCF might have been left out in favor of Auburn.

Well, this is bullshite. I've always maintained that Hocutt is a moron. I just missed that he's also a liar.

UCF had better losses than any of them. So did Wisconsin.

UCF didn't play anyone all season.
Wisconsin choked when it mattered.
And by your very own logic Western Michigan should have made it into the playoffs last season. They were this year's UCF.
So last season Western Michigan didn't deserve in over a 1 loss non conference champion Ohio State, but this season UCF deserved in over a 1 loss non conference champion Alabama?

With how much I have to pay them, I'm OK with that.

My scenarios prove exactly what I'm saying -- it's not inherent. Practicality isn't a requirement. Let me make it easier, if you prefer...undefeated B1G champ, undefeated ACC champ, undefeated Pac12 champ, undefeated B12 champ. One loss SEC champ. Would you be shocked if the SEC winner got left out?
Edit: Note, I'm not asking if you would like it or agree with it. Just if you would be shocked if that happened. To put a finer point on it, would you be shocked if a 2 loss SEC champion (like, say, Auburn this season, which makes it practical) got left out?

Ohio State wasn't #4 last year.
Try again.

I don't think people will be or are up in arms over this as much people are making it out to be on here
The SEC teams won their way into the final. They weren't voted in by computers and dumbasses. They actually had to earn it on the field.
I think people are a lot more accepting of that. Bama and Georgia won their way into the final
IF you get my drift
I think if Oklahoma and Clemson would have won than people would of been a lot more upset of Bama getting a second chance since the conference has looked like garbage in the bowls and mostly during the regular season.
But Bama humping the Clemson lovefest and embarrassing them pretty much ends that argument

But they should have been according to you because they didn't win their conference. And we are supposed to be following the guidelines right?

There are 5 P5 conferences and 5 G5 conferences. In effect there are two divisions in FBS football. The gap between the divisions came about when the P5 schools forced the NCAA to give them more control over their finances and practices. They don't have to share resources with the G5 schools anymore.
I think there should be two playoffs, one for P5 schools and one for G5 conferences.

Conference championships aren't a requirement.

So now it's losses and rankings? Way to move the goalpost for a point that's already ludicrous. If you understand math at all, you grasp that #4 is ahead of #5. It remains ahead of #5 no matter how many times you look at it. It's just as firmly ahead of #5 as #3, #2, and #1 are. It does not stop being ahead of #5 just because it hurts your feelings. Does someone need to explain this to you in Suessian rhymes?
