Eh, the 2nd guy looked pretty awkward. The first guy literally just fell down and laid there.

If you want to figure out who the best team is, that's the only way to do it. Putting restrictions on the number of teams from a conference that can make it into a playoff doesn't help to "determine it on the field" which was the go-to response for proponents of the playoffs. If the four best teams are from the SEC (or from the B1G, or from the Big 12) those are the teams that should make it, IMO.

It happens in every sport that a division or a conference is loaded with talent, and teams that would have made it in had they been in a different division/conference are sitting at home while an inferior team makes it in over them because they enjoyed the benefit of a shittier division/conference. That doesn't help to determine it on the field. And I think anyone that has used that argument has to also support the possibility of 4 SEC teams in the playoffs.

Most conferences figure out the best team in their conference through conference championship games. I can understand two, but no reason to have 4 teams from the same conference ever. Please don't try to defend a statement like that.

There will NEVER EVER EVER EVER be 4 teams from the same conference in the playoffs. It's an absurd topic to even discuss.

I don't think there will ever be a time when you can argue that the top 4 teams from one conference are better than every other team in football. That is highly unlikely and probably would never happen. Therefore, I don't think anyone would have to worry about that scenario happening.

But it's possible. And if the consensus top 4 were from one conference, those should be the ones in the playoffs. Put the 4 best teams in, regardless of conference.

Well loss of Bullough immediately apparent in TGOTA. Sparty didn't even stop one play for no-gain on 77 yd drive.

Happened once in college hockey, Frozen Four full of all WCHA teams. That will never happen again in any sport

This. Chances of it ever happening? Pretty much zero, but in the extremely rare event that there was a legitimate case of a conference boasting all 4 of the best teams, there should be nothing prohibiting it.
