Re: Sound Off: How Big is the New SEC/Big XII Bowl Game?
So how (in this new 4-team playoff) do teams outside the champs of the B1G, Pac-12, SEC, and Big 12 get a fair shake in a playoff?

Seems like the Rose Bowl & this new bowl are basically your semifinals already.

Do they play only if they aren't in the top 4 at the end? The chances of that seem incredibly slim.

If the BCS conferences still want the power, how about they preserve the Orange Bowl as ACC/Big East and the Fiesta for 2 other At-Larges, and combine them with the Rose Bowl & the new bowl.. The 4 winners are your semi-finalists, seeded by ranking? - That seems pretty fair (Uh-oh... 8 team.... Playoff???)

The problem is that this idea is for the 2014 season which is miles away. If the four team playoff thing works, the conferences are going to want to expand it further. Maybe this is part of that plan... Perhaps the Cotton Bowl just became one of the BCS big boys.

It's for the 2014 season.

SEC did this to help ensure the top 4 teams into the playoff idea happens.

How about this.... Top 4 Teams make the playoffs and the rest still play (minor) bowl games.

And the Big East and ACC sink further into irrelevancy...

If FSU and Clemson/Virginia Tech leave the ACC, it's lights out.

It's amazing that the Big 12 was on the brink of collapse not long ago.

Seriously, though, this sounds eerily like a potential semifinal of the "Final Four" with the other semifinal being the Rose Bowl.

To the SEC, the ONLY game that matters is the National Championship game. Everything else is for losers.
