We will never know how it would have played out.
That’s a damn shame. But like I’ve said before, six deserving teams and four spots doesn’t make for anything but controversy.
One spot for each P5 conference champion and three at large selections would make for a vastly more fair playoff that allows all the teams that could win it all the chance to do so.
Just my opinion.
It is impossible to know but I suspect Ole Miss and Mississippi State could beat any Big 12 team this year. SEC teams really do get beat up in conference play.
