"I think, from a television point of view, any sports executive would tell you he would prefer a team from the different part of the country,"
Followed by this to bolster the argument for expanding from four teams:

There has been growing consternation this season that the only undefeated FBS team (UCF) was left out now that it has defeated an Auburn team that beat both finalists by a combined 35 points
UCF, from the same region of the country as the two finalists. Auburn referenced as UCF's big validation win...from the same state as one of the finalists.
You either want the 4 best teams or you don't. This is why I don't trust the long term impartiality of a "panel" making the ultimate calls. They are going to be influenced by powerful people and financial interests rather than just "the best 4" or 8 or whatever.
I still say go back to the BCS system and make it top 4.

I mean, this is all fine and good..,but theoretically,
couldn’t there still be 2 SEC teams in a final?

We should NOT expand the field. The best thing about CFB is the incredible do or die feel of the regular season.

Some people wouldn’t like it, and you run the risk of leaving out the true best team in the country, but I think a lot of people’s anger would vanish if a stipulation that you had to win your conference to be considered for the 4 team playoff was added.
