re: Why I hate only 4 teams in the playoffs

I don't have anything witty/funny to open this so I'll just start:
Not likely. Bama would be jacked as hell for this game and Derrick Henry would just run a train over the Gators, and if that didn't work Riddley and the other guy they have at receiver would make enough plays along with the Bama D to win the game. Bama represents SEC in the Playoff.
hypothetically if Florida beats Bama:
Florida goes and is the only SEC representative in the CFP. LSU gets left out having not gone to the conference championship game, also having not won their division. Yes, we beat Florida head-to-head, but we still lost to Bama, whom Florida beat to win the conference.
there was no committee in 2011. it was still the BCS system and the voters somehow gifted Bama a rematch because they thought that BigXII, B1G10, Pac10, and ACC conference champs all were somehow not worthy to play LSU.
either way...if we win out and Bama doesn't lose, we are left out. there is no possibility for a reverse 2011 scenario. The CFP Committee has seen that happen once and they won't let it happen again.
Bottome line, the Playoff needs to be expanded to 8 teams.

Florida then gets a playoff spot and has only one loss which was to LSU. LSU wins the rest of their games and then we have an argument on our hands because we beat them head to head.

Back in the 2011 season, Bama was awarded a rematch with us and the committee determined LSU and Bama were the 2 best teams in the country
