re: If we had an 8 team playoff, these would be your games right now

Some conferences deserve 2 teams in the playoffs

In an 8 team? Sure, but not without Autobids. In a 4 team? No frickin way.

You guys that talk about preserving the meaning of the regular season and then discounting the conference title are talking out of both sides of your mouth. All we can do is apply the eye test when saying 3 to 4 teams in the SEC are better than the entire Pac 12. We don't know that for a fact. I don't care what has happened in the past.

But here's the biggest reason that mindset is idiotic: ya'll want to preserve the meaning of the regular season, but have no problem having LSU beat Alabama (for example), win the SEC, then have them potentially play Alabama again with a trip to the National Championship on the line.

So the regular season means something for Alabama, but for LSU, beating Alabama meant nothing. Alabama still gets a chance to play for a National Title while playing one less game AND losing to LSU already.

If you go to 8, it has to have autobids, or you open yourself up to more of that nonsense.
