I agree that it will hopefully open the path to expansion, but with the current rankings and setup, if Michigan had lost there would be 2 SEC teams, Cincinnati and neutered Danes
The cfp selection committee showed themselves to be SEC lovers from the very start. Until a system is developed that allows for more teams to have a shot at getting into the cfp, we all know the top SEC teams will always get the best recruits and the best pre-season rankings, which in turn perpetuate the high rankings of whichever SEC teams win against each other, as we all know they rarely play tough ooc games. The system is set up to reward the SEC. Other sports expanded their playoff systems and teams that otherwise would never have become successful, like Gonzaga bb, for example, now can succeed if they play their cards right. I could list other sports for more examples, if you need me to. But not football. Cfb has been designed to allow blue bloods to rule forever if they want to. Fans of blue blood schools may prefer this, of course, but it's wrong, it's not what college sports is supposed to be about.
