re: Spinoff: LSU will be screwed under the "playoff" system

I see this, unfortunately, as an attempt to create parity in CFB...parity on the field and at the cash register. The SEC arms race has left even the big booster teams from other conferences behind. There are only a handful of teams in the rest of the country that could even compete in the SEC.

It will be a very, very rare season that a second SEC team makes the Playoff...this is by the design of the committee.

SEC West teams that don't win the division will have to be content with scoring a minor bowl victory...like #6 in SEC West Miss St just crushed Conf. USA champion Rice.
