12 Team Playoff: How many SEC Teams Get In?
Posted on 1/1/23 at 1:19 pm

Apparently it’s designed to get as many non SEC teams in. How is it decided who gets in?
20

Won’t it be top 12 in rankings? I’d say most years it would be 4 or 5.

This year would’ve had 3. I would think 3-4 will be the norm.

I would say 4 average. Really bodes well for LSU. They should be in every year.

Uh, no. If this was so anti-sec we wouldn't dominate the top 15 rankings. Other conferences have bitched about it for years why is a 3 loss SEC team ahead of a 1-2 loss team in another conference in top 15? They usually have 4-5 teams in the top 15 for SEC. You're probably going to get 3-4 teams in playoffs every year.
NC will continue to be dominated by SEC and the one constant is you'll almost always have an SEC team in it. It's the conference with the most money and highest paid staffs with the most fertile recruiting grounds. Texas coming in pretty much just rolls over anyone else money wise.

6 highest ranked conference champs and 6 at large.

So, on average, three-fiddy?

6 conference champs & 6 highest rated teams- So probably 2-3 every year.

Top 6 teams, Power 5 conference champs, ND if in top 12,
This year we would’ve been in except for 5&7 debacle

The CFP will employ some type of EO rankings to boost underperforming conferences so no more than 3 on average.

This year it would have been
3 sec
3 big ten
2 pac 12
2 big 12
1 acc
1 Tulane
Sec would likely get 4 in most years and 3 or 5 occasionally. Have to figure 3 big 10 every year. 1 pac 12 moving forward, after usc leaves. One acc and one big 12 most years. Occasionally one might get 2, probably acc and one non power five.

We best Aggies we’d be in this year. Might’ve shown up too if that was on the line.

I personally think it will get MORE SEC teams in the final 12, with a better chance of more in the final 4, too!
And I do think the 12 team playoff system will be awesome....

Just like now. Nothing is technically earned on the field. Your invitation to the playoff is determined by a group of people sitting on a committee.

quote:well when there are 131 teams vying for 12 spots, with very, very little inter-conference games, then a committee has to select the teams to determine who is more deserving, if not a conference champ. For example, a committee would need to picks from an LSU, Alabama, Michigan, Ohio State, etc. or a UCF, SMU, Tulane, Fresno, etc. - because these lesser teams might have the same or better record than the Power5 teams, but clearly aren't nearly as good. So you can't just go with on-field results.

The NFL is different, because there are only 32 teams and a 17 game season, so it's easy to let the results on the field determine playoff spots.

This. You get 1 with the P5 champs + G5 rep. So 2-3 with 6 other spots seems plausible most years

What Big 10 besides Michigan & OH St? 3 every year
