The problem with that is if he loses 1 game he is out, even if he wins the BDF. The BDF is the 5th Best Conference in a 4 Team playoff. The SEC also will likely send 2 teams most years (it would have sent 2 each of the last 3 seasons for instance).

So the schedule may be easier but the margin for error is much smaller.

I say the pending NCAA hammer is a major factor.
Althought Saban probably had little to nothing to do with the issues, He Gone!

What makes you people think nick saban is the type of person who even lets the possibility of losing one game a year enter his mind. The man is a perfectionist, he expects to win every game.

I have been thinking this for a while.

I know there is SEC bias on the rant. But why do people think a non SEC Champion will make the playoffs over a Conference Champ. I know it is only a consideration, but I have a problem with people from other conferences or areas of the country doing this on any kind of regular basis. If it does, the other Commissioners will step in.

Also a Saban 1 loss Texas team will have all the glitz it needs to get into the playoffs over a non SEC Champion. (TV market, Texas reputation, Saban etc)
