Where do people think the SEC stands with the playoff situation now? I think last season due to the success of SEC Champions in previous years that there was a definite possibility a 2 loss SEC Champion could beat out a 1 loss champion from another conference to get in the playoff (whether it would have happened in reality is another story with last year's circumstances). I think after the last 2 seasons all that is pretty much likely to happen is that a 1 loss SEC Champion will get in the playoff as long as there isn't more than 2 major undefeated teams or some other unlikely scenario like that.
SEC and the new playoff system?
- Thread starter Gator Fever
- Start date
Didn't see a 2-loss champion from any conference getting in over a 1-loss champion from another conference even before the last two years. The whole purpose of the Power 5 schools pushing for a playoff is so that each conference would be represented in the playoffs and they could all make big bucks. Obviously one has to be left out every year, but they were never gonna allow two from the same conference to be in it.
I still think it's interesting how they did the rankings.
They were looking for any excuse possible not to put FSU in there, even though they were the only undefeated team AND the reigning champs.

I think there would have been pressure against it but the SEC definitely had a chance to get 2 in last season if you had Ole Miss stay at 1 close loss and Bama win the SEC with its only loss to Ole Miss. I doubt that would be the case this coming season however even if something like that happened. I am personally against non conference winners getting in over conference winners that have the same number of losses however.
Soon it will be 8. I think it should be 12, but it might one day be 16. I don't like 16, but it would certainly give every team a chance to qualify.
Not sure on that the BCS stayed 2 teams until the contract ran out and I think this 4 team one runs through 2021 or something like that.

It shouldn't grow to 8 teams if they want to keep interest up. Too easy to make it. 4 was a good number.
I think there will still be a lot of interest in finding out those last few teams who make it in, and there will be interest in the seeding of the teams.
It's all good.

8 is really pushing it. If they change at all, I would rather see 6 teams and a bye for the top two seeds, but even that I'm not a fan of.
I'm fine with 4, I thought the games had a lot of hype this year, I see no logical reason to go to 8 teams, 6? maybe, with the top 2 getting byes
