Looking at the top 10. Should each conference winner get a top 4 seed???

I think we have real problems in that area.
Just because one team wins a certain conference, they should be guaranteed a top four seed? And, a bye?
This is all over Finebaum today and XM Radio college sports.
I think changes are going to have to take place.
Great win by Clemson Saturday night!

It’s necessary to protect the ACC/Big 12 from SEC/Big Ten bias. Look at the top six right now. If it were the “best” they would blindly look at the SEC/Big Ten and say they are better regardless of non conference results cause they bring in the $

The conference champs top 4 seeds was a play to get everyone on board to change to 12 team playoffs.
Never expected it to last more than 2 years.

I like your SEC only Play-off Plan.. Then the other 80 % of the fans can turn-off their football festival and watch basketball early-season tournaments with no SEC teams allowed.
That should run ESPN out of business -- and the college sports world would be much more fair
That could nudge college athletics back toward student athletics.

The SEC should just go play with themselves. No need to sully their purity playing against trash conferences. Just let every team play every other team and then have a tournament to decide the champion.

If it were me I would just call the SEC champion the national champion and let the other sisters of the poor play for a different championship. Maybe Middle of the road champion. That way most schools would not have to listen to Paul Findballs sec worshipping.

ABSOLUTELY They Should....Sorry We Can't Just Seed 12 SEC Teams

Because UGA didn't win it's conference last year it got skipped. This year they would get a second chance and the CONF CHAMP gets a measurable reward over the runner up.
Sorry the SEC is not into meritocracy, but more into entitlement. We all know the SEC circle jerk rating inflation method that assures SEC presence in the playoffs. Your conference started this mess, now live with it.

Meritocracy?
SEC teams are a combined 16-6 in the CFP (3 of those losses were to other SEC teams). No other conference has a winning CFP record. Those 16 wins are more than all other conferences COMBINED, and more than two and a half times as many wins as the next highest conference.
If it was a true meritocracy, the SEC would have 7 bids, the ACC & Big10 2 each, with the last going to the best team among the Big12/G5/Ind. No one else wants a real Meriticracy.

That’s because the SEC has gotten multiple teams in the playoffs most years. The ACC had a winning record against the SEC last season.
It varies seasons to season. The SEC isn’t going to have 7 of the top 12 teams every year.

ACC is 7-5
Wrong. ACC is 6-6
FSU went once in 2014 and lost to Oregon, 0-1
Clemson is 6-4 (wins over Okl, Bama x2, OSU x2, ND; Losses to Bama x2, LSU, & OSU)
ND went once in 2020 as an ACC member and lost to Bama, 0-1.

I hear you. But truth is we make a lot of assumptions about who is best, what conference is best, etc. And while a lot of them are spot on, there needs to be a place where the assumed lesser P4 conferences have a shot to prove otherwise. In true competition, a champion is a team that wins a championship. Not a team we all thought was “better.” The SEC is best and will get a few teams in. But let the top teams in other P4 get a shot to overcome their weak conference.

Follow up question: If you are an SEC team that finishes forth in the conference with three losses, do you deserve to be in over a runner up in say the Big 12 or ACC with one loss?

Before having a productive conversation about it.
On the backend of this argument is a similar school of thought that records don't matter and a 7-5 LSU team is better than a 9-3 big ten team bc of who they played.
Personally, I don't think conference champs deserve an auto bye but do deserve to host first Rd at a minimum

Yes- why would you potentially reward a team with a higher seed that sat home while other teams were playing a 13th game. They should have to play that 13th game in the first round of the playoffs.
If the 2d or 3d place SEC team is really that good, they will win two games and get to the semifinal.

All I am saying, and just being honest, we may be in a situation where one conference has the 4 best teams in all of college football. As the season progresses, I will track this and we can discuss it.
I do not know how else I can say it without it being construed as flaming. I am not doing that at all.
I do think it is wise to let the season play out. Injuries, coaching, luck, etc., etc.. will inevitably come to the surface.
The first two weeks do not encapsulate all that is college football for the 2024 season. But, we are able to get a hint of what could transpire.
As I predicted several days ago, Clemson is sitting very pretty and Clemson is a good team! All summer long, I had Clemson penciled in as a playoff team and a dangerous one at that.

Want a first round bye? Win your Conference. It just means more. Want the top 4 teams in the playoff to get a bye with them being SEC teams? Do away with the conferences concept and and just make it the top 12 teams get in with the top 4 getting a bye. You can all wear your SEC patches and hold hands at that point. The SEC got its way with the 12 team playoff, now you guys want all the byes too. If you get that, next it'll be guaranteed 8 SEC teams.

That's always been true. Your conference will benefit from the money brought in by multiple participants and you're on the website of a team that's certainly going to be left out if it stumbles once. Go lick your butt and soothe yourself.

Absolutely!! Not only should the four conference champions get the top 4 seeds but the runners up in each conference should get the next four seeds. After that is Group of 5 best and Notre Dame, no matter their record or who they lost to like Bama usually had been under Saban. Beyond that if you want to vote in a few 3 or 4 loss teams that beat Vandy, A&M, Miss St and UofSC have at it.

Clemson and Miami will get in and can make some noise.
Mind you the ACC had a winning record versus the sec last season (that’s with UGA beating fsu b team and ga tech by a score), and two current SEC teams went 0-2 in the controversial playoff last season as well.
Let’s pump the brakes on the sec invitational, it may not pan out how the networks expect…

If you think about it, it's really not a bye. Conference champs are playing an extra game that seeds 5-8 aren't playing. And if you happen to lose your Conference championship but remain in the top 12, then you are playing one more game than e eryone else.

Ok so here’s something else to ponder. Should COLLEGE football programs who basically don’t care if their players attend college be allowed to call themselves COLLEGE football teams or should they be called what they are paid mercenaries . See I can call teams and conferences out without naming names too. I’m talking about $ec ( uga in particular) sort of like you are calling out ACC and BIG 12.

Assume the conference champ doesn't get an automatic bye, that it just goes to the top 4 seeds.
Last year, Bama and UGA could have rested either starters, not caring who wins because both would have gotten a bye in the playoffs.
Conference championship should mean something.

As far as making a change to conference champs getting automatic byes it solves the issue of every conference buying into the concept that the B1G and SEC are probably going to get 7 seeds between them. I suspect that SEC will get probably 7 since ND got beat by nobody.
Rejoice, even if you don't win the conference title you'll get another shot at the top spot. Do you have any idea how many teams would cherish your position?

Whatever Foundbloom wants for the SEC, just do the opposite and it will always be best for College Football.

Go back to divisions, don't play conf. championships, and take the 8 division Champs plus next 8 or 7 plus top G5 team. Home games for top 8. All play same number of games. Rebalance divisions every 3-5 years.

Exactly right! The SEC should just pull out of the playoff and have their own championship. They can call it the Finebaum Bowl!

Playoff should be 8 or 16 where no one gets a bye.***

So why put rules/regulations in place for such a playoff

if you simply decide it is bad, according to Paul Dumbbomb ??
I mean the man is an ignorant pompous a..wipe and we all know this.
But I do agree that not all conferences are equal, not by a long shot. So, did the rules and committe that decided this DUMB 12 team playoff would be chaotic ?? Did they not realize that some conference winners will be nothing more than a cupcake for other conferences ??
I fail to rationalize how this problem was not already prepared for in advance, or why you would not at minimum discuss and realize the issue here.

Whether you like it or not, CFB is now NFL JR. it's always been the NFL's free minor league feeder program. Now it is taking more and more cues from the NFL including it's playoff format.
CFB conferencing is a bit different than the NFL but the idea is the same: Win and you are in. Once we go to two super conferences it will be even more like the NFL.
