Quote:It's tough for me to say that if Alabama loses in the SEC championship to Florida they deserve a chance to play in the playoffs.  They didn't win the conference title and they are no longer undefeated.  Are they one of the top 4 teams with one loss left?  Then maybe, but if Florida wins out and beats Bama they should go in over Bama.  From my understanding the committee will look at conference champions over anything else.

 

You might want to read my CFP rankings threads that are full of posts about how two Big 10 East teams can get in. Would the CFP committee let Ohio State in and keep Alabama out? Of course not.

 

Although conference championships have always been preferred, in this crazy year millions of football fans will be angry if they see teams like Penn State and Florida in the playoffs.
