The fundamental problem this year is that if UGA and Bama had been undefeated going into the SECCG, they both could have rested all starters and still gotten in.

Everyone went and added a conference CG, but they serve no purpose.

Actually making it to that game and losing is worse than not making it to the game at all.

Which is why you need to eliminate divisions and have the best two teams play in each conference championship games.

Hell. If you are a team that is having a great year that puts you in the playoff hunt, the order of preference is

1. Don't make CCG
2. Make it and win
3. Make it and lose.

If you can get in without playing the game, that's one less game for injuries to happen. One more game for nagging shite to get well. One more week of practice.

I mean, there's literally no fricking downside to being the team that's probably in that doesn't make the title game. You don't REALLY give a frick about seeding.
