The source said a proposal that would require teams to win their respective conferences to participate in a playoff is also all but dead. Under that proposal, Alabama, which didn't win the SEC last season but defeated No. 1 LSU 21-0 in the Jan. 9 Allstate BCS National Championship Game, wouldn't have been eligible for the playoffs.
One good proposal that will be good for the SEC..!!!

Sooo...now what happens when the SEC ends up with 3 out of the 4 teams in the top 4...still more complaining and changes would come because of the SEC. LMBO...they can change, but it won't change the fact that the SEC will continue to have a say as to who will be CHAMPS.
Then the rest of the conferences get what they want anyway. Which a conference champion only playoff format in an attempt to limit the SEC.
The SEC might be able to skirt around the issue once, but if they start having 2 and 3 teams in the top 4 every year... more "changes" will be needed.
I can't even remember the last time a top 5 ranked SEC team went to a bowl game and lost. Somebody refresh my memory...
#4 Alabama lost in the 2009 Sugar Bowl to #7 Utah. #6 Arkansas lost to Ohio State in the 2011 Sugar Bowl.
That's fine if you don't remember. I do, though. Pretty sure a man that wears a straw hat remembers it, too...
You answered my question though. I couldn't remember the last time a top 5 ranked SEC team lost their bowl game to a team of a different conference.
Glad you know that 6 is after 5; I added them to my post since they were so close to the Top 5. However, Arkansas had 2 losses the entire season - Bama and Auburn.
In a +1 scenario the top 4 teams in the final BCS poll, regardless of conference affiliation, would be placed in 2 of the 4 BCS bowls and the 2 winners move on to the BCSNCG? Is that right? Why wouldn't the remaining 2 BCS bowl take #'s 5-8 from the final poll and let the teams ranked #9 and above fill out the rest of the bowls that no one cares about? I like the idea of neutral sites and not allowing conference champions only in the final four. Seems pretty simple, you win and you're in, you lose and there is always next year.

It's tough to make a plan that's easier for UT, ND, USC and OSU and harder for the SEC at the same time. But they're working on it.
hahahah the funny part is....its not even like any of those teams have come close lately with the exception of UT making it to title game in 09...
There are too many people in this thing that have been educated beyond their intelligence.
This whole thing is easy. Your options are:
a) keep what we have
b) do a plus one
c) do a full-fledged playoff (8, 12, 16)
The "conference championship" is already dead, and it should have been. But the FUNNIEST part to me is this - well, we can't have a home game for the semi-final because somebody like Boise might make it. Or Oregon.
Hmm.
They play a Pac 12 championship game there - didn't that just admit it's a second-rate game?

That is the whole point: not to come up with a playoff system, but how to limit the SEC to only one team.
And make it play in the cold and snow, to lower its chances of winning.
If they can limit it to only one SEC team, instead of 3, the odds of the SEC winning drop from 99%, to 95%, or so.
I guess Delaney likes those odds.
