Why not have an 8 team playoff with conference champions only. That may leave a power conf. like the SEC at a disadvantage, but it would seem more fair in the long term.

Dumb,who are you trying to please ? I don't see where "fair" enters this equation. Historically there have been 3-5 sec teams in the top ten in late November . Fuk the rest of the conferences, if they suck ,they out.

Then I vote that we leave the SEC and join the Big Least or whatever it is called now.

This is exactly what I believe. The conference championship games would the first round of the playoffs. That insures you must win your division first of all.

Because not every team is in a conference, and a conference championship only refers to a fraction of the season. It's a ridiculous idea.

Obviously we should count all games equally, and if we do that, we're effectively ignoring conference affiliation.

There is no reason Alabama would be excluded from this year's playoff.
