How would you feel if it was the opposite situation for the SEC? The SEC was stacked and a team came out with 2-3 losses as champion.

But the thing is, those conferences aren't really good. People are saying the ACC is so bad that Florida State may have to go undefeated to secure a spot in the playoff.

Having said that, a champion with 2-3 losses, even from the SEC, shouldn't go in over a 1-loss champion from a power conference. A SEC Champ with 2 losses should probably go in ahead of a 1-loss non-champ from a power conference.

It all depends on the specifics though as far as who the losses were to and by how much. My point is, its stupid to say the top four conference champs should always go in no matter what. There has been huge differences in the quality of conferences. Winning your conference should not always be a prerequisite to making the playoff.

I feel if the end goal is to settle it on the field objectively then you remove as much "eye test bullshite" as possible.

Just think of the conference regular season as a playoff to get into the national playoff. I am just of the opinion if my team didn't win their conference why do they get a mulligan over the conference champion to potentially play for the NC. There are too many teams and too few games to just pick teams out of the same conference when they have a conference tournament to shrink down the available teams.
