I’m sure they have but when has a CCG loser made the playoff? I know it hasn’t happened in the big ten, I assume it happened in the SEC a couple double bid years.
Georgia won a national championship after losing in the ccg 2021
TCU last year
Hell, Ohio State didn’t even make their ccg and made the playoffs last year
Thats just in the past two years.
Nebraska made the national championship game after getting boat raced in their last regular season game of the year and didn't even win their division.
Alabama won the national championship without even winning their division.
The TCU one I forgot about, hard to dismiss Georgia, that’s the point of expanding the playoff I guess. Most years the SEC does have the top two teams even if the conference in general is overrated.
Kinda my point, it’s rarer that the loser of the conference championship game gets in. More likely to have the bama scenario, Nebraska is from before a playoff even existed so doesn’t count.
Just crazy that you could win a national championship in the pre-playoff format without even winning a 6 team division.
With the new giant conferences it'd almost make more sense to have the 4 power conferences all have a semis and championship and send their champions to a top 4 playoff of only champions. It'd essentially be a 16 team playoff with the first 2 rounds in-conference.
Can't for a couple reasons. 1) you can't lock out the other conferences without getting sued. 2) the conferences don't have equal strength and don't project to at any point in the near future.
The 12 team playoff should give every conference a shot at the playoff (even if some of them don't really have a chance, they do in theory) while also making sure the very best teams aren't left out.
There will of course still be some griping about who the 11th team is but frankly that team will rarely be a factor to win it all anyway so it really won't matter in the end. You can't always say that about the 4 team format. Texas has the talent to win it all and they might not make the playoff.
Would it have made a difference if it was 7?
cough, cough Ohio State last year was selected.
That's what I want to see if Texas beats Okie State. But I first want to see Okie State win. It would be awesome to see the final 3 Big 12 titles go to Baylor, KState and Okie State. And ISU made OU earn their title in 2020.
Pretty sure that was the right choice considering the Georgia game was the closest anyone played them.
While you can make the second argument, there's no reason that the big 10\SEC\ACC\B12 have to associate with anyone else. It'd be like a mid-major complaining about not being given access to a Big 12-SEC challenge in basketball.
People will gripe about it, but the fact is a lot of the lower end G5 teams probably shouldnt be FBS in the first place anyway and were only brought in as filler for low end conferences that got poached through realignment backfill.
You’re not wrong but that’s probably not a path you should hope cfb goes down
