And yet the Conference Champion doesn’t get a chance to play for the National Title.

I knew letting Mizzou in would drag the SEC down to Mizzou’s level.

The SEC East is an embarrassment. How UF has won it the last two years, I’ll never know.

Yep. The SEC talent is getting spread around to more schools in and out of the conference. The ACC is getting more as is the big 10 and the rest who are all getting just as much tv time and recruiting the heck out on the southeast.

Alabama is a juggernaut. I suspect we’ll see one or two reach top tier status again quickly. Possibly Tennessee or LSU. Maybe Georgia or Florida. We will see.

Publicly, I’m sure Penn St. begged to be included in the Playoff with Ohio St.

But privately, they didn’t want to be the 4th seed to get humiliated by Alabama.

I don’t think Nick Saban is anything special as a head coach. He just knows how to recruit the best players. Every one on his team has NFL size and speed. He just has so many players bigger and faster than every one else they can play just an average game and beat anybody by 20.

Their only weakness is their QB.

Is anybody else bothered by the fact that the “Big Ten” conference contains fourteen teams?

There is only one way to return the Big Ten to its former greatness, bring back the University of Chicago!

Well the answer is simple. They let Rutgers in.

QED.

I believe 11 of those dwarves are going to bowl games, plus Bama. Not a bad showing.

The top of the B10 is very good. The bottom of the B10 is horrid. A conference's strength is not determined by its top.

I'd offer that the ACC, Pac 12 and Big 12 are better conferences because they are stronger across the board, tho the B12 is a bit down this year.
