Ok, so the playoff determined which teams were better, but excluded TCU and Baylor. The G5 representative handled it's own versus a team that beat the team that will be favored going to the title game.
I guess it's just a matter of time now before the playoff is 8 teams. So I guess you take the P5 champs, the G5 and two at large? The G5 will never get any more represention than that.
The Big 12 will probably take two teams to have a championship game before the playoff expands.
Can the American conference ever earn back its old Big East status? I think they could accomplish this if they could get Boise, CSU, Air Force, BYU and Marshall in there for a 16 team super conference. They'll probably lose two teams to the Big 12 before expanding. Sure, that conference would beat on each other like the SEC but like the SEC you wouldn't be able to say the team coming out on top wasn't deserving for an 8 team playoff either.
Oh, and the SEC got BEAT down this bowl season...
What do you think is the future of the playoff, and re-alignment?
