"Winners & losers: post-playoff edition" Guess who wins!

And, yes, hours after the official announcement, it still feels good — perhaps even drop-dead sexy — to use the words “playoff” and “major college football” in the same sentence without it veering toward an Onion-worthy post.

Of course, there are still issues that need hashed out.  Yes, even this four-team baby step is being met with scorn by the more-more-more crowd failing to realize that, even in its infancy, this just-birthed format is already infinitesimally better than what the BcS has wrought over the past decade-plus.

Really?  Who writes that?  Does he not know the definitions of words?  Is he just trying to sound smart, but in the process revealing ignorance?

Hello, TNT.
I think most SEC fans were happy with the BCS system, especially for the past 6 years.  But after the uproar this year over Alabama being allowed to play for the BCSNC (and winning) without being a conference champ, I fear our chances of getting a team into the BCSNC were diminished.  There was pressure from across the country to stop the streak at 6 years.  Point is: the new system will give us a fair chance at getting a team into the NC game every year!

It makes me laugh so hard to see the whiners from the Big 10 screaming about the unfair SEC bias. Their tears of broken dreams taste so sweet. I love the one who said the SEC is not the best conference and stats prove it. Let's see; Florida curb-stomped Oklahoma and OSU, LSU curb-stomped OSU, Bama curb-stomped Texas, and last year Bama curb-stomped LSU. The closest anyone came to beating an SEC team is when Oregon barely lost to the booger eaters. Jealousy is very unbecoming, Big10, Pac12, and ACC. Win or go home. Roll Tide!

Ha Ha. I missed that. I think he meant infinitely better. LOL

Lets use bullet points:

* We have no idea how or who in selecting 4 teams. We are kinda sure 1 SEC team will get in each year. We can only hope THEY pick the best one out of the 2,- or maybe 3.

* Journalist Dan Kaplan was on the national news this AM saying how we'll finally have a REAL national champion. Everyone agreed with him. Then they started talking about using the billion this plan would generate (BS) to pay players.

* The slippery slope danger zone. Watch the tweaking because now these Anti-SECites will not be satisfied if we win in 2014. The 8 playoff team people are already screaming blooddy murder.

* Enjoy the super-conferences. The regionality (word?) of college ball will soon be gone.

Football as we know it will be gone in the next few years and just remember who sat there and took it like a little girl.

I think the winners are all that matters. The losers picked their own position. So you have to live with it. Change was coming and you didn't have the resolve to get in on the winning side, so be it. I think this was a great job, hard work and long hours. RTR!

Hey Preacher. We are having a party Friday night (7pm) in the BIG FISH thread in Ferguson. It WOULD NOT BE ANY PARTY WITHOUT YOU.  They'll be plenty of cold E-drinks and I promise you won't be the only one not drinking alcohol (LOL). So please come to our party! RTR

I agree with you 100%.  Because of the situation primarily 6 wks before the game, it is doubtful that, given a similar circumstance, that Bama would play in the BCSNC again.  It seems to me though, that no one was talking the same after the game as they were the few weeks before the game.

Oh, and my original post was more about the incompetence of the original writer and not about the content, pimarily as it relates to his use of the word "infinitesimally."

Yes, oops. 
I started raving without acknowledging your editorial acomplishment.  E-cred to you again, sir.
