Do you??
It’s so close to GA, they give in-state tuition to GA kids in border counties
So the argument went from “Auburn’s in Georgia” to “well it’s close to Georgia.” That’s a fascinating retreat. Geography by association, next you’ll tell us Tennessee should pull for Kentucky because they share a Cracker Barrel.

Bold move lecturing the SEC on geography when you just got your passport stamped to enter. Auburn’s in Alabama, maybe Google that before you start handing out conference memberships.

Yeah, the last name helps but the name didn’t throw 17 unanswered points in the 4th.
Texas was cooked, and Arch kept them alive. That’s not “nepo,” that’s clutch, even if it’s the only time he’s shown it so far this season.

That’s why I’m saying it should be a requirement, not a suggestion.
It would actually cement the arguments between conferences during the season instead of leaving everything to speculation.
Expanded playoffs help, but if they’re filled with reputations instead of real conference-vs-conference results, we’re right back where we started.

That’s really the core issue, Indiana didn’t schedule a Power 5 opponent, so there’s no outward comparison.
Until every team plays at least one Power opponent, we’re not comparing results anymore, we’re comparing reputations.

The playoff isn’t broken, the calibration is.
College football used to reward proof; now it rewards perception. We’ve built a system where the same five brands play different schedules, in different realities, and somehow get judged on the same scale. The playoff committee doesn’t pick the best teams anymore, they pick the best storylines.
If we actually want balance, we don’t need twelve playoff spots. We need twelve comparable paths. Give everyone nine conference games (ACC), one Power opponent, and no FCS cupcakes after Halloween. Make the schedule mean something again.
Right now, the system doesn’t reward who’s best, it rewards who’s least questioned. Fix that, and the sport starts to feel honest again.
