Which would cause even more controversy.
If the season ended today, you have 3 of the top 4 teams in the nation from the SEC...so lets remove number 3 and 4, and let an unranked ACC opponent into the playoff picture instead of the nations number 3 team. Its quite possible that GTech could win the ACC this year with a 6-6 record going into the game.
This goes for any conference, the top teams should play...conference shouldnt matter. If its Oregon and USC so be it, if its Mich and Ohio State so be it, if its Alabama and LSU...etc...etc
Having a playoff based off of conference champions is stupid.
