Wouldn't the argument be the refs helping the conference by favoring the higher-ranked team with fewer losses?

In a 4 team playoff

I wish Wisconsin had a QB.

Georgia getting a VERY friendly whistle from the SEC officials in a game they need to win to keep CFP hopes alive.  Im sure its a coincidence

If I believed the refs were somehow tolf by the "office" to sway a game, I'd completely lose interest in it.  It's a popular belief I find.  

How do you rank the Wisconsin QBs after Russell Wilson? 

Speaking of the locker room thing, I remain impressed with how hard Florida is playing.  I think in a few years they will be veru glad they kept Napier, unfortunately.

Both Texas and A&M have one conference loss each, so one or the other is very likely to make the CG, which these days is .... a curious thing.  Sit it out and you probably make the playoff, make it and lose and .......  of course you have a 50% chance of winning, roughly speaking.

Losing a CG is a pretty bad thing even if you make the playoff, it means an extra game of wear and tear and a drop to maybe a 6-7-8 seed, or worse.  Drop to a 9 and you face a good opponent on the road.  Does winning the CG offset the risk of losing?  Or are you better off missing it entirely?

CCG's are no longer meaningful.

They can be, but the downside risk is pretty severe in principle.  Imagine a situation where some 9-3ish opponent shows up and upsets 12-0 for example.  What's more probable, this season, is two 10-2 teams pair off and the loser is out, or gets a tough road opponent now instead of a bye.  I used to think winning the conference was a good goal for a season, now it is ....  dubious.  I think overall if four 10-2 teams are vying for a spot in a CG, the two teams not chosen are better off.
