ICYMI: No SEC teams in title game again
- Thread starter glassmanJ
- Start date
The SEC was always overrated. It would have been nice for ASU to have beaten Texas.
Overall the postseason (bowl games included) has played out nicely. It would have been ridiculous for the media to run with Alabama and South Carolina needing to be in the playoffs all offseason.
Hopefully 10 and 11 win ACC and Big 12 teams will have a little more credibility at the end of next season.

Once again it shows that an aggressive expansion plan within the SEC may ultimately fail to deliver its intended plan of eliminating other conferences in NC. The large media in the Northeast and the Westcoast will not yield to ESPN's efforts to advance that initiative.
The $EC was a bit down this year, but they have been spectacular up until this year. Overrated? Perhaps. Alabama’s brilliance under Satan (oops, Saban) covered up some weakest bits of the league in the public consciousness. There was no real dominant team this year, just several very good ones.
yup, will be 16 team playoff next year to make sure alabama gets in
Honestly, it should be either 8 or 16. The teams that played in the first round had a warmup that the bye teams didn’t.
if it happens again next year they'll make it 16. simplest solution is to have relegation and a 96 team div 1 structure. 16 divisions x 6 teams. those 6 play round robin so 10 games in division. then one game with rival. no rankings nor committee ever needed.
instead of computer or committee rankings to seed, make it like the KY Derby post draw, put all 16 teams names in a hat and draw on live tv and it will bring better ratings than the bowl games themselves.
you play each team twice home and home to prove your the best. only issue is deciding tie breakers but that should be easy.
if you want to add another game for money, instead make top 2 division teams play for title and chance to go to 16 team tourney.
this completely eliminates all polls, committees, computers and any subjective reasoning to put a team in the playoffs. it's all settled on the field.
to make it even more fun and exciting, you could potentially move teams around every couple of years thus removing any biases likei vandy being stuck with ga every year or something liek that. so no sec ro big 10 or acc, maybe every two years two teams switch in and out. so every team over time could play ever other team in the country in a home and home. all tv revenue split 96 ways. bargain all as one, not as conferences. so it gets exciting to go to new places to play.
then for even more bonus fun, you take the bottom 16 teams and again using a live tv blind draw to make even more money, you match those worst 16 and the winners stay in div 1, and the 8 losers drop down to lower level. and likewise in the lower levels, top 8 teams get to move up. that would be so much fun.
