How is making sure all 5 power conferences get an auto-bid on the Pac-12?

Where as 12 teams in the playoff will benefit the SEC because ESPN will make sure they get 4 teams in.

They’re the only one calling for it. So they’re saying they’re not confident their champ will be one of the top 6 conference champs.

Pretty sure the SEC will finagle it so that they will have all 12 teams. Vanderbilt is clearly better than Ahia State.

I'm sure Finebaum will be screaming that. Realistically, SEC will get 4 teams most years. 2019, since last year was so weird, would have had these 12 teams...not necessarily seeded like this.

  1. LSU (SEC Champ)
  2. Ohio State (B1G Champ)
  3. Clemson (ACC Champ)
  4. Oklahoma (B12 Champ)
  5. Oregon (P12 Champ)
  6. Memphis (AAC Champ)
  7. Georgia (SEC#2)
  8. Baylor (B12 #2)
  9. Wiscy (B1G #2)
  10. Florida (SEC #3)
  11. PSU (B1G #3)
  12. Utah (P12 #2)
So that's 3 SEC teams, 3 B1G, 2 B12, 2 P12, 1 ACC, 1 AAC. Now let's be real...Utah is getting dropped in favor of Auburn or Alabama, so it's really 4 SEC teams. Not sure they can shoehorn a 5th in though given that PSU or Wiscy is who they'd have to drop. If it were some mid-level team, then yeah, but we're talking about giant fanbases anyway.

2018 looks like this...again, not seeds, just counting the teams...ND could not be the #3 seed as they aren't a conference champ.

  1. Alabama (SEC Champ)
  2. Clemson (ACC Champ)
  3. Oklahoma (B12 Champ)
  4. Ohio State (B1G Champ)
  5. UCF (AAC Champ)
  6. Washington (P12 Champ)
  7. Notre Dame (Indy #1)
  8. Georgia (SEC #2)
  9. Michigan (B1G #2)
  10. Florida (SEC #3)
  11. LSU (SEC #4)
  12. PSU (B1G #3)
So 4 SEC, 3 B1G, 1 ACC, 1 B12, 1 P12, 1 AAC, 1 Indy.

The top two conferences look very similar, and I think we'll see something like that most years. The Big 12 is going to have to expand to give themselves a better shot unless Texas is really good and only has a loss to OU or vice-versa...the round-robin ensures losses that are avoidable for the other conferences. ACC needs FSU and VT to get their shit together. And P12 needs USC to find a coach.

Looks like divisions may go away and the conferences will start scheduling strategically. So schools like Arkansas, S.Car, UK, Vandy, need to bend over and prepare themselves. We saw that a bit this year where the SEC scheduled to give the top teams easier games. It'll only get worse.

conference championship games are for the drooling PROVE IT ON DA FIELD @jobob types. they aren't going anywhere. the big xii had it right in 2014 but named co-champs instead of naming one using a tiebreaker. they fucked up so bad.

Ugh. Footbaw in a American Rounders stadium generally makes for a shitty viewing experience.

But whatever. USC ain't gonna make that bowl. Let's resurrect the Freedom Bowl!

Gonna be a shit show for a few years since the totally inept and worthless NCAA leadership didn't have this planned already.

Saw one player already ripped off a company's logo (Guerilla Games) for his own for his merch. :laughing:

What coffee company wants a BYU player as a spokesperson? Certainly there are other players in Utah and other states who would be better options.
