Ranked by 13 guys in some back room?I think they added something on that conference champs my be at least a certain ranking.
Umm they just bowed to the SEC.Thanks. I hope they don't bow to the SEC. Let's have the results determined on the field for a change.
I wasn't worried about the SEC's power until this FL ST fiasco, but it does look as if they are exerting unearned power.
If they have their way, they'll get in at least 6 teams every year. I do expect that they'll qualify 4 teams, as well as the B10, but I don't want it to become a situation where they totally control who gets in.
They'll all vote yes for 5 best conference champs and 7 at larges."The CFP board of managers is composed of 10 FBS presidents and chancellors and Notre Dame president John Jenkins. The Pac-12's representative is Washington State president Kirk Schulz, who could single-handedly prevent the change in format if he wanted to."

SEC & B10 will automatically vote yes for the change. Notre Dame also would like fewer conference champs.
That's 3 yes votes for sure.
The G5 schools will vote no. That's 5 no votes.
The other 3 votes come from ACC, B12, and PAC. I would guess that PAC would want to vote no because Washington ST has the vote and will probably end up in a G5 conference.
It will be interesting to see if they actually allow Washington St. to cast that vote.
Since the ACC and B12 are unlikely to fill the at large spots, I wonder how they'll vote.

Then just have an SEC tournament, forget everyone else exists. maybe have a separate tournament for all the other teams the lowlife non-SEC TEAMS.they are exerting unearned power.
What's your definition of unearned? The SEC is the financial engine that drives the college football bus. And, year in year out, it is unquestionably the best league in college football. They would have had 2 teams in this CFP if not for the bad optics of putting Bama in without Texas.
So yes, the SEC does have some sway in these matters. But it certainly isn't "unearned".
It doesn’t need to. The SEC and B10, in that order, are driving the vast bulk of the TV revenue stream generated by college football. Obviously a ton more viewers watch SEC and B10 games than the other three leagues. There’s nothing shady about it, it’s very simple: those 2 leagues bring in a lot more money than the ACC, B12 and PAC. That’s just the way it is, the way it has always been, and the way it always will be.A lot of money will exchange hands to make sure the big and SEC get the most teams in.
