The joke is the SEC and Pac12 never play each other in bowl games.
The two best conferences don’t play each other.
It will be up to the schools now records now. Let the bitching begin that the SEC and PAC 12 dominate the playoffs probably at least 2 teams every year. Those conferences will also have more money to pay the players.
The PAC 12 was good this year but they aren’t the second best league
They’ve played a few games in the last decade or so. SEC seems to win more than they lose.

Maybe they could drum up more games if they moved the Rose Bowl back to the Southeast. Of course, last time they did that, the game was against a Southern Conference team, not an SEC team.
