Thats still much much better then the #3 team being left out. If your 17th your chances of winning the playoff is very very low


I agree that this point is the weakness of this idea. But Florida didnt win its conference, and thus is not better than Alabama. So, if we already know that Florida is not better than Alabama, then why should they get a chance to be National Champs. Do we know that Alabama is better than Texas or Cincy or TCU, or even Oregon? The answer I think is no.

Every system has a weakness, including the current system. I concede this weakness, which is glaring in the case of Florida. In previous years there are 2 or sometimes 3 teams that are clearly good but didnt win there conference. In my system they simply blew their chance. The SEC has a very strong method for choosing a champion, and I defer to that method.

What would you say if it came about that LSU played UF in the SEC Champ and won? The series for the year would be tied 1-1.
