This Dave guy calling the BC/Pitt game seems to think so.

Dumbest thing I've ever heard

LSU won't sniff the playoffs if they don't improve, and I'm not convinced that ATM is somehow elite just because they thumped a way overrated SCU team.
I could see UGa getting in, but I'm not convinced they can throw the ball or defend the pass well enough to beat everybody on their schedule. I think they beat us because we didn't have enough experienced playmakers on the offensive side of the ball, but what will they do when they face a team like Auburn that can really score? The only thing is that their schedule is really easy outside of that game.

UGA won't make it past the SECCG

They're eventually going to face an OL and a running attack with a pulse and it's going to wear them out.

Saw that. Either the guy is the biggest sec homer out there or the biggest moron. Come to think of it, he could be both.

No. Kanell only had 1 sec team in his list and that was UGA. "Dave" had 3 sec teams.

The committee will select 4 conference champions it's that simple. What comes out of the mouths of ESPN experts is just noise.

LSU needs to find a Legit QB, A&M beat an over rated Scar te and UGAy won't be able to rely on the run all season, Mason will have win games through the air... No chance that happens

UGA needs to get our 2 best receivers healthy and on the field, which should happen by USEe. Then I see our passing game opening up more. But I'm happy with a run-oriented, ball/clock control O. I'm pretty sure our game plan on Sat was to wear your D down (Gurley's limited carries). If we can do that vs CU, one of the best D fronts in CFB, I'm not sure I want to change that up too much thinking long ball on 3rd down. Get the 1st early or put yourself in short yardage situations on 3rds. Wears a D down.

There will be one rep from four of the five conferences, period.

No chance, listen, the new committee will put the winners of four of the five major conferences in the show, period.

We have no idea what the Committee will do. If Bama and Auburn were both un-defeated with the exception of one of them losing to the other by 1 point, I think they would both go.

People have a hard time understanding this thing, but the reason the new system is in place was seeded the year that the SEC sent two teams against each other for the NC. You think the other majors were not frothing at the bit over that stuff? Enter change, which I agree with btw. Send the four best major conference champions into the pit to decide the best. No way any conference should ever have two reps, ever.

If you cannot win your conference you have no business in the final four championship. None.

You obviously have not been keeping up with the selection rules. The committee has said they want the 4 best teams.

I agree but think they should take the power 5 champs + the highest ranked non power 5 team.
Two highest ranked teams get a bye, 3 plays 6, 4 plays 5. 1 and 2 play winners and then you have a national title game.

So I guess we didn't get rid of the BCS if the logic is automatically putting a conference champion in! SMH

The problem with the BCS was letting a computer decide who plays for the national championship.

Unless all the major conferences excepting the SEC crap
Sep 6, 2014, 6:08 AM

their pants this season I don't believe for one moment collegiate fandom across the nation would sit still for three SEC teams in the playoffs despite the committee composition.
I have been suspect of the four-team playoffs from the get-go, because I believe an eight-team method would lend more toward equitable opportunities for all the major conferences. Thus, I believe the current system will be of short duration, and we'll see eight teams in a three week playoff sooner rather than later.
Hence, these prognosticators are blowing smoke up their own behinds...in my opinion, of course.

5 major conference winners get in. Maybe the AAC winner depending on record. Other 2-3 spots are at large bids picked by commitee.

8 team wont happen. It would then become advantageous to not win you conference. As a at large selection you would have played one less game and had more rest from you last game. It is 4 teams, 5 conferences for a reason.

coaches would consider losing a conference title to be advantageous.
Most importantly, I like to hedge my bets, meaning I'm not willing to make bodacious statements of purported fact unless I know the facts are supportable. Hence, why I wouldn't say "won't happen." Yet, if you choose to do so, then that's your option, my Friend.

I am just going off what they university presidents have said: which is a fact, also, fan bases cant travel in 3 consecutive weeks. Playoff games in an empty Rose Bowl,or Super Dome? Not gonna happen. Unless, they do away with conference championships(not happening)

More room for SEC teams in an 8-team playoff

Right now with the 4-team, people would flip their #### if more than two got in from any one conference. I think this year they're only going to get one, with how things are looking out west.

If more than 1 from any conference makes the 4 team play-off. I would take a very strange season with most every team having two or more losses.
