They put SEC teams against each other in early brackets to prevent an All SEC Final.

They try to do it in baseball too

There's an SEC team in nearly every game dumbass. That's what happens when the SEC gets 4 of the 7 at large bids. It's unavoidable. The only thing they should've done differently was flip OSU and UGA for the chance at UGA vs Miami and Carson Beck.

Bama was always gonna have to be in a matchup with another SEC team in the first round. You can't drop them behind JMU and Tulane

They put Alabama and Oklahoma together because neither are championship material and this ensures at least one of them gets to the second round. It hides the truth that we don’t really need a 12 team playoff.

I’m fine with the 12 team as long as the G5 teams a replaced with P5 schools. Tulane and JMU were the playoff version of a participation trophy.

Most years two teams worked. Then most years four teams worked. But to jump to 12 because every once in awhile some team gets left out, straight money grab.

In 2019 Clemson was the defending national champion and undefeated, Ohio State had the most ranked wins in the country and were ranked #1 until we beat UGA in SEC title.

You're telling me you would rather hope that writers vote the playoffs right instead of letting them play on the field and decide who's the best team?

Anyone complaining about football playoffs is a pussy

It's the way we settle it in highschool and NFL- on the field.

I much prefer the bigger playoff field where we can settle who's the best team.

What's f*cking gay is ending your season and you just finish where some pussy sports writers think you would.

Expand it to 16 get rid of the automatic p4 bid and put the best 16 in.

But please argue with me that more football is bad and that the champion should be decided on the field.

boomers like you can keep crying about how back in your day you'd win the pop tart bowl and then the following week you'd get the paper and they'd tell you who they thought the best team was and that's how you won the title.

My parents aren’t even boomers. I’m not old enough to remember a time when sports writers picked national champions.

We settle it on the field now.

Neat. We don’t need a 16 team playoff to settle it.

Hey just one question though - who won the 2003 national championship?

---

LSU won the national championship in 2003 and only LSU because at that point in time the entire college football universe had agreed to make the AP poll irrelevant when the BCS national championship became a thing in 1998. However, because the majority of the AP writers are in L.A. it all of a sudden became “relevant” when their team got left out.

That dude is mad for it being only 6 AM

I’m with you; I preferred 4 teams over 12

Where else would you put them? They have no choice unless they left Bama out which they clearly didn't do to pro SEC bias bc it makes them the most money

This isn't 1970 anymore. There's no anti-SEC bias. They like whoever makes the most money and that's us
