in a few years or decades that's what it might be

Big vs SEC postseason

the rest just won't matter or be worthy of the $$$ that is generated
Next year with a 12-team playoff, how many spots do we think will be taken by B1G and SEC teams?

Do you get the feeling that Yormark/Big 12 will really pull the punches to let oSu win the game?  To the point where it's egregious?  oSu is a decent team, they wouldn't need much help to win.

well, the current top 12 shows only FSU as a team that won't be in the SEC or B1G next season

so, probably at least 8

apparently, it's already been egregious in the reg season
I certainly felt it was egregious the season UNL was on their way out

I'd say it really will happen

Absolutely.  They've been doing it all season.  In B12 play, Texas is both the most penalized team, and the team whose opponents are the least penalized.

the committee does what ESPN and the SEC instruct them to do

most of us know this

it would seem that the SEC would favor Texas, as they are joining next season

If Bama wins Texas may be the only "SEC" team in the playoff. Bama & FSU winning will bring about some serious politicking for 16 hours. No SEC or no undefeated conference champ, or no BIG 12 conference champ with a win on their resume over the SEC Champ. One of those will happen. It will cause more drama than any prior year.

FSU winning they are in with a lock - undefeated conf champ
Same for Washington

Bama and Oregon winning winning and you have 4 one loss teams fighting for 2 spots

fun stuff

If all the undefeated teams win, there shouldn't be any drama.

If not, well...

I think there'd still be drama about Florida State.

Yeah, I agree.  The "drama" would come from a handful of mediots but putting in an undefeated P5 conference champ is a no-brainer from the committee's point of view.  It lets them completely off the hook in making decisions about 12-1Texas.

What would be fun, for me, however improbable:

Dawgs win of course.

OkSU wins.
Laville wins.
Oregon wins.
Iowa somehow wins.

Oregon is in, and then ....  Michigan?  UDubb?  OSU?  TCU?
