Starting in 2024, it will be SEC vs SEC for the NC every single year

Wonder if anyone thought about that.

Will be a lot of rematches
Would not be shocked if two sec teams might potentially play 3 times
I don't know that I need to see that

12 teams is excessive but of course everything always has to get bigger and bigger until it sucks, bc money.

Good point. Could see the SEC championship going away eventually.

Will absolutely happen at some point.

I got a good feeling that they will do everything in their power to put all SEC teams on one side of a bracket to keep that from happening.
Edit: 12 spots give you more wiggle room to make excuses on ranking.

Not as long as they use conference champs to determine byes

It probably already should go away, based strictly on determining a champ. Almost every year we already know who should be champ. Like, what logic does it make for undefeated UGA to play 2-loss LSU for the conference title? All it does is expose UGA to a loss or injuries before the playoff. Most years have been this way.
But, money will keep it around.

It is wacky to play an extra game against a tough conference opponent, with no bye week beforehand, just to get a bye later on after coming off three weeks of rest.

They will do similar to college baseball. Setup the matchups to where they at least try to not have it SEC dominated and all sec championship

Will definitely be that way when Texas and OU join in 25

We have already seen SEC match-ups in the NAtty....
I think the new 12 team playoffs will be awesome, and good for college football.

It probably won’t happen as often as you think. This year I don’t think Bama, LSU, or Tennessee could beat 3 playoff teams in a row just to make it to the national championship.

SEC championship game is BS. You have an undefeated top ranked Georgia team playing a 9-3 team with two ugly SEC losses for the “championship” ? Meaningless game is just not needed except to make money.
Posted on 12/1/22 at 9:24 am to ehidal1
That means you would have to pair the best SEC teams against each other then put them on the same side of the bracket. That's bullshite. You put the teams in bracket at whatever their final rankings are. I also think it should be a computer model that ranks the teams if it's 12 teams so that a human can't adjust the bracket manually. The BCS was bad because it was 2 teams. A 12 team computer model would be better than eye test IMHO.

why? D1 will probably still have the lowest percentage of teams making the playoffs than any other division or level of football. I never hear anyone complain about that

I disagree
The SEC is just better. We have faster players, stronger players, better coaches. The last few years some teams outside the conference have gotten a lucky game in or two (Clempson) but they play nobody all year long.
When these weak arse teams have to win 3-4 games in a row, they will fold. The cream will rise to the top even more than it already has. Any system that allows the SEC to actually play football and get rewarded for results will end up with more SEC national champions, and those teams will be proven.

This is the reality. Lots of people sky-screaming about needing parity in the sport acted like the 12-team playoff was their big victory. It’s really not. Sure, maybe it increases the odds for media darling Cinderella teams like Cincinnati, UCF, etc to get a participation trophy for going to the playoffs. But, to your point, their odds of actually winning a college football championship will literally be worse than ever before (and that includes the BCS championship game era).

I bet you're wrong. Certainly there will be some. The SEC will have half the nation's top teams. But the SEC usually does not have two powerful teams hitting on all cylinders. 2019 would have been Bama and LSU. Last year was two SEC teams. Bama and Georgia matched up one other time. But I don't think we'll see it more than half the time.

Don't fall victim to the national narrative that because a team has a couple of losses they are worse than a team with no losses. In the SEC we beat each other up every single week. No other conference do you have to go to play a team week in and out with a roster full of 4-5 star players and 80,000 screaming fans
Its really easy to have no losses when you play nobody. If LSU were in it this year, do you really think we would have no shot against Clempson or Michigan etc? The SEC's 8 and 9 seed teams will wreck havoc in this new format.
