Tee Martin and Co. finally got the Vols over the hump vs Florida. During Peyton Manning's time his teams were 40-9, but 0-4 vs Florida.

My scenario is 6 teams. I gave auto bids to the conference champions if they had a BCS top-10 ranking (1998-2013). 2001 was a strange year. Nebraska was run over by Colorado in the regular season finale and didn't even rep their division in the Big XII title game, yet was #2 in the BCS. Two SEC teams (Florida (9-2), Tennessee (10-2)) had top-10 standings, but did not win the SEC. That would be LSU (9-3) which was #13, making them ineligible for a playoff spot. In 2014, the CFP began in which the Power 5's get an automatic bid with one at-large. Of course, I'm also in favor of the Other 5 playoff which would include 6 teams as well (AAC, C-USA, MAC, MWC, SBC, and 1 at-large). Enjoy.
