Having a big debate over who should be the Top 2 is good for the sport IMO. Sugar SEC Champ vs B1G Rose B1G Champ vs P12 Champ Orange ACC Champ vs B12 Champ Cotton SEC vs B12 Peach ACC vs SEC Fiesta P12 vs at large So this year would have been something like: Sugar #1 Bama vs #6 Ohio State Rose #2 Michigan vs #11 Utah Orange #12 Pitt vs #4 Cincy Cotton #3 UGA vs #7 Baylor Peach #17 Wake vs #8 Ole Miss Fiesta #14 Oregon vs #5 Notre Dame So the NCG is Bama vs either Michigan or UGA. 2020 would have been: Sugar #1 Bama vs #11 Indiana Rose #2 Ohio State vs #25 Oregon Orange #3 Clemson vs #8 Cincy Cotton #6 Oklahoma vs #10 iowa State Peach #4 ND vs #5 A&M Fiesta #17 USC vs #7 Florida So the NCG is Bama vs either Ohio State or Clemson 2019 would have been: Sugar #1 LSU vs #8 Wisconsin Rose #2 Ohio State vs #6 Oregon Orange #3 Clemson vs #7 Baylor Cotton #4 Oklahoma vs #21 Cincy Peach #24 UVA vs #9 Florida Fiesta #11 Utah vs #5 UGA So the NCG is LSU vs either Ohio State or Clemson. 2018 would have been: Sugar #1 Bama vs #7 Michigan Rose #6 Ohio State vs #9 Washington Orange #2 Clemson vs #8 UCF Cotton #4 Oklahoma vs #16 WV Peach #20 SU vs #5 UGA Fiesta #13 Washington State vs #3 ND So the NCG is Bama vs Clemson if they win or ND The way it is now you have 2 games to pay attention to. Going back to Bowls you end up paying attention to twice as many games. The SEC gets 3-4 of those Bowl slots while everyone else gets 2-3. ND has only one possible entry (Fiesta) so maybe they decide to join the ACC? They will have a very hard time making the NCG with no CCG and playing P12 #2 in the Fiesta. The ACC is stuck playing the worst P5 conference which will make it harder to get into the Final 2. That would make the B1G happy. SEC #2 would have a hard time getting into the Final 2 though. The Final 2 will be heavily influenced by winning your conference due to the Bowl matchups. The G5 gets pretty much left out. They do have a shot at the at large but they would need to be Top 5 to likely have a chance at it. That IMO is a good thing. Look at the G5 after the next round of realignment. [/QUOTE]
