Yup I support giving the conference champions a place in the playoff because I like that it makes conference championships meaningful.

But there was never any reason to give them high seeds or byes.  That was just weird.
Except with the ridiculous unbalanced schedules with the super conferences winning a conference is almost meaningless

winning a complex tiebreaker to play in and win a conference championship game is almost meaningless

I still see so much inconsistency in these teams.  They can look like Ohio State last night and the next game look like Ohio State against that team up north.

UGA might be the worst example, if you catch "good UGA", they will be tough, even with the new QB.  If you catch "bad UGA", a good team will blow them out (Ole Miss).  I think we're into crap shoot time now, I favor Texas over ASU by a bit, but other than that ...

I feel like kind of everyone this year is not all that great? I might be romanticizing the past, but it feels like the entire top of the SEC isn’t up to the usual level for that conference. And chunks of the Big Ten might be the same.

I think the upper level of the SEC is pretty solid, as in, they can beat you on any given day, and then lose to Arkansas or Vandy or Kentucky.  I can't recall seeing so many pretty good but very up and down teams.  Ohio State is the same, in my book, potentially a great team, and also a mediocre team on another day.

And of course UGA will be even less predictable with Beck our and Gunner Stockton at the helm, and I expect him to run more which increases injury risk, and their new backup is, well, inexperiened and then some.  Their D looks great one week and can't stop the run the next.  They nearly lost to Tech and Kentucky, and nearly beat Bama on the road, and of course had two close games with Texas. Even UMass run on their D.

Texas has the "potential" to win it all, but so do several other teams of course.

Texas was the team that I thought would win it all but then Quinn Ewers got banged up….again…and hasn’t been as consistent as I thought he’d be and he hasn’t taken that catapult into greatness I thought he would. He’s still one of the best QB’s in college football but I really thought he was about to take off and be #1 overall draft pick good. He’s got legit arm talent he’s just never put it all together in the complete package for a full season. 

And they still can win it all- especially if Ewers gets hot because when he’s hot…man he’s just dotting dimes all over the field. He’s had some great performances on his resume.

You get a Yuengling my sentiments exactly,but the Dawgs putting it on them in Austin shook a little of that off then again at home. The Mighty Quinn just might come together at the right time.Just get past Kirby's spell
