I think the people who want the 9-3 or 8-4 SEC/Big 10 teams automatically in the playoffs because they're the best teams at the expense of every other conference's 11-1 or 10-2 team that is clearly not as good because they're not SEC/Big 10 want it. It's the next step to just creating the two mega conferences model. They argue the NFL has rematches in the playoffs so its fine for CFB, while completely ignoring the current vast differences between CFB and the NFL. I haven't looked past the SEC portion of the play-in situation you posted above, but I assume the other conferences will look the same. For the play in scenario you posted, Bama gets to play LSU, who they already beat 42-13. Assuming the higher seeds win the opening games, Tenn gets to play UGA again, who they already beat 31-17. Assuming the higher seeds win that round, UGA gets to play UT who they already beat 30-15. One of the differences between CFB and NFL was if you lost in the regular season it really, really mattered. NFL you can lose to the same team twice in the regular season and beat them in the playoffs and that's the way it's always been and everyone understands that the model when you have 32 teams. Everyone can argue all they want about how expanding the CFB playoffs made more regular season games important because more teams have a chance. That's great and I'm fine with it. But, expansion and more automatic bids to the "good conferences" just guarantees yearly rematches. CFB was about losing to your rival and having to eat it for a year that it killed your season. tOSU loss to Michigan used to be devastating. That loss went from really bad to who gives a shit we're NC in less than two months. So, yeah, I'll complain about more "good" football when more "good" football is watching the same teams play each other twice a year.

Yeah, what we really need are the 9-3 teams that lost conference games to the 3 best teams they played to prove again in the playoffs that they can't beat them. I have no idea why people want to watch Ole Miss lose to UGA a second time instead of watching UGA play Arizona State in a lose and go home game. Just admit you want CFB to be the NFL and create an all SEC/Big 10 CFB Big Boys Division that copies the NFC/AFC model and an Everyone Else CFB Division that operates in a manner more closely resembling CFB than the NFL.

At first I thought "this isn't Trump's America, that's in Toronto". I keep forgetting Canada is the 51st State.

7's the key number here. Think about it. 7-Elevens. 7 doors. 7, man, that's the number. 7 chipmunks twirlin' on a branch, eatin' lots of sunflowers on my uncle's ranch. You know that old children's tale from the sea. It's like you're dreamin' about Gorgonzola cheese when it's clearly Brie time, baby. Step into my office. ‘Cause you’re fucking fired.”

I'd like to say your odds of getting laid are pretty good, but I'm guessing the semi-retired dude is going to clean house.
