[QUOTE="Endless Purple, post: 1112124, member: 778"] The reason I am strongly in the conference champ is that there will always be biases (towards SEC right now) which can easily bump a team one spot. Last year I believe the Big 12 had the better OOC record and tougher overall SOS but the SEC was considered to be head and shoulders above them in perception. Reality is that we do not know. If the Big 12 was perceived to be the stronger conference, most likely OSU would have played LSU. The other issue is that after this is taken into account and the SEC gets additional teams, even in years they do not deserve it, they will also get more money. Money will most likely heavily favor the teams in the playoffs (as would be expected) thus it adds even more to the perceived better conference when they could not have done it without all the other teams. Thus extending the power imbalance. With conference champions it at least spreads more money among 4 conferences instead of maybe 2 (or 1 if the SEC got 3 teams in). [/QUOTE]
