Acc gets destroyed in bowls, has 2 playoff teams, both stink it up.
Oklahoma wins big 12, has a bad early loss to k state that eliminates them, but their conference dominates bowl season.
Ohio state never had the shot at the bad loss because of the 5 game schedule.
Cincinnati proved they could play with the SEC.
I’m not a big fan of the argument that teams further down can’t win it. How many nfl teams really have a chance to win the title? It’s about building the program and having something tangible to go on.
A radio host in Pittsburgh constantly has suggested 6 teams, the 5 power conference champions and the best group of 5 champion. This would really make it more like an 11 team playoff because of the conference championship games. He said notre dame will have to join a conference if they want to be in it.
I don’t think his scenario will ever happen, but I do think you will see 8 teams pretty soon, which would probably solve the problem.
