[QUOTE="michaelwalkerbr, post: 131748672, member: 1601483"] Choosing which teams are the best in what order is a very inexact science. Winning conference championships should be a very high factor provided a minimum number of games against P5 teams is a qualifier. Once you go below the top 5 or so it is really a guessing game. Remember when the 23rd ranked team beat the 15th ranked team 70 - 33? Should an 8 - 4 Florida team that was ranked #7 ONLY because it was an SEC team and was thumped by under ranked #6 Oklahoma really deserve to play in the Cotton Bowl only to be exposed 55 - 20? Conference championships should take precedence over the AP Poll when the championships are actually earned. Even including Oklahoma, finding 6 SEC teams deserving a playoff spot would be quite a stretch in nearly every year. Two? Sure, if they really deserve it. Three would be a stretch and any more would be a setup to embarrass an SEC team and exclude a better non SEC school. [/QUOTE]
