I can think of several that have had multiple chances and it hasn’t turned out so well. Who are these others to which you allude, and what evidence do you have to back up that claim?
The B12 has had 4 shots in the CFP - and went 0/4. Maybe 14 would’ve been different, but that is 100% speculation.
You had a 13-0 team and three 12-1 teams by(all of which won their CCGs in blowouts - none more impressive than tOSU). Which of those should’ve been out in favor of TCU?
If the committee was going to select either team, it would have to have been Baylor, they had the same conference record but Baylor had the head to head win. That’s the tiebreaker in pretty much any system, but the Big12, the One True Champion conference, tried to game the system and call them co-champions, because they thought TCU was better despite the head to head loss. Regardless, the 4 teams selected that year were all conference champs and 13-0 and 12-1 conference champs > 11-1 co-champs.
Yes, but since you seem to think that the SEC’s success is simply a function of how many tries they’ve had at the championship, I don’t see how the committee putting Ohio State in the playoff over Big 12 teams or even the champion of their own division and conference helps your argument very much. If any conference has been given the benefit of the doubt, it’s been the Big 10, not the SEC.
One conference has had more than one team in the championship game, the SEC, with 3 different teams. 2 of those teams have won a championship game, and the other lost to another SEC team. You are certainly entitled to your opinion, no matter how dumb it is.
agree since 2006 this is true. Seems in last half decade or maybe even decade it's pretty much just Bama and the 1 title by LSU.
Every year of the playoff the SEC champion has been either undefeated or 1 loss, which year do you think the SEC champion should not have been in the playoff? Only 1 P5 conference champion with 1 or fewer losses has not been in the playoff, Ohio State at 12-1 in the 2019 playoff. There were 3 undefeated teams, including SEC champion Alabama, and a 1 loss Oklahoma in that playoff.
We've been the worst team in the SEC West the last 4 years or so and even still Arkansas' recruiting would finish 3rd in the Big 12 most years. The SEC's reputation has been built on more NFL draft picks than any other conference, better recruiting/talent than any other conference, and more different programs to win national titles in the last 15 years than any other conference. That doesn't mean every SEC team is going to be better than their counterpart in the other P5 conferences every year but they have definitely earned the benefit of the doubt. Outside of Alabama any one of Georgia, Florida, LSU, Auburn and now maybe even Texas A&M (as much as I hate to admit it) could be a CFP team any given year - don't think you can say that about any other conference.
