Tiebreaker should go to whoever won the head to head meeting. If that fails, THEN use divisional champs.Shut the fuck up Donny!

The problem with doing away with divisions is you have to come up with tiebreakers for the glut of 10-7 teams or whatever. If the two teams with the same record didn’t play or were 1-1, who are you taking for the last playoff spot? The tiebreakers like MOV or coin flips tend to piss people off whereas they more readily accept “won the NFC East” or whatever."The problem with quotes on the Internet is that it is sometimes hard to verify their authenticity." -Abraham Lincoln

With college, though, with respect to football quality and deservedness, winning the Big Ten or SEC means MUCH more than winning the Sun Belt or CUSA.
Conference championships should never be used as a sole criterion for playoff admission in football unless they’re about 70 spots to fill."The problem with quotes on the Internet is that it is sometimes hard to verify their authenticity." -Abraham Lincoln

Of course, this will be moot when the playoff expands.I feel like I am watching the destruction of our democracy while my neighbors and friends cheer it on

And, I know we have had this convo before, but in a 4-team, I want the best 4 teams. Especially if the teams’ only loss is a close or controversial loss to the other."The problem with quotes on the Internet is that it is sometimes hard to verify their authenticity." -Abraham Lincoln

In an 12 team playoff, conference champs should absolutely get auto-bids.
In a 4 teamer you have to just take the best teams. The SEC has gotten two teams into the playoff on two occasions and they both played in the finals each time. That means they went a combined 6-2 in those two playoffs alone, thus demonstrating that not only was the SEC runner up one of the top four teams, they were one of the top 2.

The format will make it so only conference champs get byes. Top 4 would have been UGA, M, KSU and Utah. Then TCU, OSU, UAT…
So OSU-KSU, Utah-KSU, UAT-M, Georgia-who cares (if seeding held — OSU would have played Penn State).Dan Patrick: What was your reaction to [Urban Meyer being hired]?
Brady Hoke: You know.....not....good.
