Miami became the first team to play the national championship game at home. It's crazy how Miami has an opportunity to win the CFP national championship before winning the ACC championship, and how 7-5 Duke won the ACC Championship, becoming the first-ever team with five losses to win a major conference championship
Just goes to show why internal playoffs would be such a benefit. Ole Miss likely would have beaten us, UGA (obviously) and Bama. Miami would have cleaned up the ACC. Tech would have cleaned up the Big 12. Indiana would have handled the B1G. Just as much fun college football, but so much more objective that no one complain they "got left out"The regular season winners are 0-3 in SEC rematches: Alabama defeated Georgia 24-21 in Athens on 9/27 but lost 28-7 to Georgia in the SEC Championship Game on 12/6. Oklahoma defeated Alabama 23-21 in Tuscaloosa on 11/15 but lost 34-24 to Alabama in a first round playoff game at home on 12/19. Georgia defeated Ole Miss 43-35 at home on 10/18 but lost 39-34 to Ole Miss in the CFP quarterfinal Sugar Bowl.
It's crazy how the regular season winners went 0-3 in the SEC rematches:
1. Alabama defeated Georgia 24-21 in Athens on 9/27 but lost 28-7 to Georgia in the SEC Championship Game on 12/6.
2. Oklahoma defeated Alabama 23-21 in Tuscaloosa on 11/15 but lost 34-24 to Alabama in a first round playoff game at home on 12/19.
3. Georgia defeated Ole Miss 43-35 at home on 10/18 but lost 39-34 to Ole Miss in the CFP quarterfinal Sugar Bowl on 1/1.
I like the idea of internal conference playoffs. If we proposed top 4 teams in the SEC playoffs, it would have been No. 1 Alabama, No. 2 Georgia, No. 3 Ole Miss, and No. 4 Texas A&M. Ole Miss would have beaten Georgia and then Alabama or us.
How do you think internal conference playoffs can be scheduled?
How many teams should be in the actual playoffs?
