so if LSU goes 12-0 in dominating fashion and blows out everybody by 50 points. Then we go to the SECCG and lose to an undefeated UGA by 1 point on a fluke. We shouldn't get in the playoff - because we didn't win our conference?

That's right, UGA gets the spot because they won.

Look it up, no one used to have "wildcards" until TV started generating so much revenue.

But a tournament of champions is the most fair way to determine the field. for a playoff. There are no "opinion polls" to bias towards popular teams, all the conferences get a chance to participate in the playoff, making it more representative. It would just be best for college football, imo.

or maybe it's because the 2nd best team in the league happens to have the misfortune of being in the same division as the best team in the league, and that 2nd best team deserves a playoff spot.
