Next year there will be more teams in the playoff, 12 instead of 4. That’s a good thing. This year it was pretty clear that some good team(s) would miss out. Georgia won the championship the last two years and lost one game which was close. Had it made into the playoffs, it might have won. (Full disclosure, I’m an Alabama fan.)
Some conferences are tougher than others. So perhaps winning your conference shouldn’t guarantee entry into a 4-team playoff. It should guarantee entry into a 12-game playoff.
Is the SEC the strongest conference? Numbers should help. How have SEC teams fared (wins vs. losses) when playing out of conference? What are the numbers for other conferences?
DeSantis suing over this? That’s the kind of talk I might expect to hear from Gavin Newsom.
If anyone was screwed it was GA.
