Just wait until we have a 12 and 16 playoff. If they hate the SEC now . .
Uga made a case against a two team playoff.
Actually, I think a game between UGA and Michigan would have been the logical championship game and the one everybody wanted to see. TCU was good enough to beat Michigan on any given day and Michigan was probably good enough to beat UGA on any given day, but there was too much of a disparity between TCU and UGA for that to be an interesting game.
I hope I live long enough to see 3 of 4 final four teams from the SEC AFTER the 12 team playoff starts. Yes, they will hate us more.
Georgia at full bore was clearly the best team. Ohio State was good - for waking them up.
Logical yes. I contend the reason we weren't gonna see that is the committee was never gonna let Mich and Ohio St meet in the first round because that's not what they wanted. In other words, what they want to see trumps logic.
In any playoff, you're not going to be able to control the matchups beyond the first round - not specifically.
True. If you are in control of the rankings, you are in control of the seeds and round one matchups. TCU deserved to be in the CG based on beating what was in front of them
And you don't want to match your behemoths in the first round, either. It could kill your drama going forward and remove any reward for a season already well-played.
I was speaking just to the idea of the old championship game (no playoff). I agree there was no way the committee was going to pit Michigan and OSU against each other in the first round. And I'm OK with that. Had the SEC gotten 2 teams in, I wouldn't have wanted them to play each other in the first round. Besides, when you are talking about the top 4 teams in the country, seeding shouldn't really matter. Essentially, they are all #1 seeds. The games _should_ all be competitive.
Now you are talking more subjectivity than I like to see. Deciding prefered matchups. I would love to see a computer ranking for the cfp and the ranking become the seed while eliminating decisions by committee as much as possible. Let the chips fall where they may.
Unless one of those teams is us, it won't really matter more than some off-season chest thumping.
I get it. But i gotta wonder what (in this case) the Big10 would have wanted. On the one hand, one of your teams will be eliminated if both meet in the first round but you are guaranteed a spot in the NCG. On the other, if they dont meet in the first round, you have a chance to get both or none in. Which way do you go? Idk
This I know, the latter didnt work out well for them
There are those that cheer for teams in our conference as if they'll share the trophy with us. That is not me. But I understand some people think differently.
But they gamed the final rankings to avoid that and we ended up with a 58 point blowout
UGA likely was ,only in this position due to Harrisons injury in the Ohio State game.. They certainly were not the better team prior ,to, that occurring. ( And no I am not a Ohio State fan.)
Seemed reasonable given the response and the stereotype of the conference fan vs the fan of the team.
‘Stereotypical’ of the conference fan. Rather encompassing considering 14 different teams. As a graduate of USC I have one team. It isn’t even a choice. It is inherent with the degree and the time spent in school earning that degree.
It does encompass those that cheer for the conference, that was the intent.
If you only cheer for one team, I do agree.

Folks like you love to orbit around their own comprehension as if it applies to all Others. So which is your personal favorite….a circle jerk or a pissing contest ?
I think you meant "send schools," not teams.Send teams to other conferences.

Remember, in baseball, the earliest conference members will play each other is in the super regionals.
