that 4team playoff will almost guarantee the SEC champion every year but will open the door for the board to manipulate the rest...because the SEC will already have one and they certainly don't want a replay of the 2012 BCS debacle.

I agree with this. Because of the 2012 BCS debacle, the 4 team "playoff" was put into place.

My hope is that when people see how screwed up it still is, the playoff will be expanded to at least 8, and some sort of "on the field" criteria will be used to select the teams.

A solution would be an 8 team playoff with only conference champions. That would, on certain years hurt the SEC but would be way better than what we have now with a 4 team playoff.
8 team means no need for a board.

I don't hang with conspiracy much but that shite was planned simply for the BCS to get canned and start the playoffs.

This year will be absolutely HUGE for the future of SEC bias. If Au beats the big and bad FSU team then the SEC will continue to have the possibility of two of their teams playing in the 4 team playoff system. If FSU wins then this will make the bias a little more difficult to get two SEC teams in until the SEC gets a couple more Crystal balls.
