This is ****ing stupid, and I hate Bama. So an undefeated SEC team loses their 1 game a year against another SEC team in November and somehow the conference is the butt of a joke by the OP? What the ****?

It's pretty ****ing stupid. SEC teams deserve more credit for succeeding with their difficult schedules, not the opposite.

Is SEC #1 conference? I'd concede to that, yes, but to make it that it is the best conference ever, well, I wouldn't go that far, because of the scheduling issue, in my view point.

The only team KSU has beat that is currently in the top 20 is Oklahoma. The only currently ranked team Oregon has beat is USC. Alabama wasn't coasting on an easy schedule.

Next year Bama's loss is irrelavent.
An 8 team tourney would dilute the season. Be careful what you wish for. |

K-State Notre Dame Oregon Ohio State (in a normal year) Alabama Florida Florida State Georgia/LSU/Louisville/Clemson That would be incredible, and the regular season wouldn't be watered down.

I guess I don't get how an 8 team playoff where no team has more than one loss would water down the regular season. If anything, it might encourage some better early season games. Right now, for contending teams, the only goal is to schedule teams you know can't beat you. Trying to increase strength of schedule and test yourself in the non-con isn't worth the risk of potentially losing a game and ending your season in week 1.
The season is watered down under the current setup because a full third of the season (4 out of 12 games) are glorified scrimmages. 68 basketball teams making the postseason waters down the regular season as well. Football would be well served to meet in the middle, and an 8 team playoff would be nuts. Can you imagine something along the lines of: Week 1: KSU vs. Clemson, Notre Dame vs. Florida State, Oregon vs. Florida, Ohio State vs. Alabama. Week 2: KSU vs. Alabama, Notre Dame vs. Oregon Week 3: KSU vs. Oregon

Once college football goes from being a judged sport, like batoon twirling and skateboarding, to having a real playoff system in place we'll see how great the SEC is. The chiefs have been drafting their douchey players for years and nearly all have been historic busts.

Boise State would immediately want to go back to their old conference, too. |

8 team playoff would be amazing. Finally get to see some of these teams matchup instead of the game being decided "Dungeons and Dragons" style.
