I'm sorry, I don't mean to laugh AT you, but NO.

For example, take this year's scenario and put it a year ahead.

Auburn, two weeks ago, would have had to win the SECCG for the right to rematch the Mighty Gumps and their legendary midget coach.

You read that correctly.

The SECW team that, once again, rigged itself the easiest schedule among its competition but still couldn't win out, would have been rewarded based upon name alone.

The playoff won't fix anything. It will just amplify everything that is wrong with CFB.

I'm hoping the committee (or whatever is set up) will do away with this, but concerned that you are correct.

Until there is at least an 8 team playoff based on RECORDS/CONFERENCE CHAMPIONSHIPS, or something that can be measured on the field, not polls or opinions or the media machine, then we'll continue to have these problems.

The polling/voting needs to be thrown out the window.

imo, the playoff idea is to prevent 2 teams from the same conference to play for the NC. from a national prospective, the committee will select conference champs from 3 or 4 of the major conferences with the "socialist" pick occasionally (boise state, notre dame, small conference team dejour,etc). the SEC will not get favorite treatment as the TV market will be very influential. the nation wants representation, earned or not.
