247 sports has UGA sitting at 5th

behind Clemson at 4th for the playoffs. These nut cases will always find ways to force SEC teams where they don't belong!!! And if there isn't some kind of a rule made on how many teams of the same conference making up the slots in the college FB playoffs, the attempt to change things from the way they were in the BCS era, it will soon be the very same as it was with the BCS, SEC SEC SEC, and that is the way that the Bleacher Report see it now, SEC!!!

I see not to long from now, we will be watching the BCS NCG all over again bc they are trying their best to get away from what the Playoff system was suppose to fix, and that was to stop the SEC from being the two top teams playing for the NC. They are over seeing the SEC getting beat by another conference other than another SEC team in the NCG. Since the Playoffs has decided who played for the NC, the SEC hasn't fared as well as they did in the BCS era bc, there hasn't been two SEC teams battling each other for the NC!!!

A couple of things...

Don't have time to go through everything you posted,but the reason that UGA was #5 in that 24/7 article is bc it is a month old before they lost.
As far as when two SEC teams last played for NC, it was when Bama bbeat UGA in 2017.
I don't see any problem with two SEC teams being projected in the top 4 at this point, bc it would be difficult to find a team to put in the top 4 over Bama and LSU based on the season up to this point (Penn St maybe?).
I honestly don't believe there is a 'they' that is pushing for SEC to dominate playoff outside of SEC themselves. The committee has been right on the money the past 5 years in my estimation.

I agree. It is tough to judge an article from October 7th. If you put Penn St in to knock Alabama or LSU out then you have 2 Big 10 teams and it is no way that should happen. I think that the SEC gets a little overhyped, but at least there is a lot of talent there. The B1G has put up less points than Notre Dame in the CFP in the last 4 years.

That's why an 8 team playoff = 4 places for SEC teams.

You can bet that will be the push, if it goes to 8 teams.

Even with eight teams, there should be a max of two from any one conference!

100% agree. Every Power 5 conference should have a slot in an 8 team playoff (and be required to have a conference championship).
There should be three at large invites based on committee similar to current one.
Could have a disqualifying condition for the Power 5 Conference winners based on record and/or SOS... which would increase the number of at large bids.
Not well thought out ... just a thought.

Here is the simple solution:
There should be an 8-team playoff.
Guaranteed spot for each P5 conference champion.
No more than two teams from a P5 conference.
One spot for the highest ranked Group of 5 team.
This is not only what should happen, it will. Just a matter of time. Might be a while.
