Message: [QUOTE="omniorange, post: 408480, member: 636"] If one assumes college football will remain exactly the way it is now through 2014-2025, then yes, the SEC is the big winner and some would argue should be. But who the runner-up winner after them is still up for discussion: Using last year as the basis, here is how I think it would have likely played out: [U][B]If Rose/Peach semi-finals[/B][/U]: Rose - LSU vs Oregon Peach - Ala vs Okla State Sugar - Arkansas vs KSU (Sugar picks) Orange - Clemson (ACC champ) vs Michigan (keep in mind this is the Orange's pick not the Selection Committee's at-large pick) Fiesta - Wisconsin (displaced Big Ten champion) vs Stanford (Selection Committee at-large pick) Cotton - Boise State vs South Carolina [U][B]If Sugar/Fiesta semi-finals[/B][/U]: Sugar - LSU (SEC Champ) vs Oregon (Pac-12 Champ) Fiesta - Ala vs Oka State (Big 12 Champ) Rose - Wisconsin (Big Ten champ) vs Stanford (Rose's picks) Orange - Clemson (ACC champ) vs Arkansas (Orange's pick) Peach - South Carolina vs VT (argument could be made for Baylor or Oklahoma here as well) with both teams being Selection Committee picks but VT gets the nod Cotton - Boise State (G5 champ) vs KSU (Selection Committee at-large pick) [U][B]If Orange/Cotton semi-finals[/B][/U]: Orange - LSU vs Oregon Cotton - Ala vs Okla State Rose - Wisconsin (Big Ten Champ) vs Stanford (Rose's pick) Sugar - Arkansas vs KSU Peach - Clemson (displaced ACC Champ) vs Baylor (Selection Committee Pick) Fiesta - Boise State (G5 champ) vs South Carolina So in each of the above scenarios the SEC gets 4 teams out of 12 spots, the Big 12 gets 2 teams in 2 scenarios and likely 3 teams in with the third scenario, while in all three scenarios the Pac-12 gets 2 teams in. Big Ten and ACC get only 1 team in two scenarios and 2 teams in in one scenario. As for BYU, the best they can ever do is be a Selection Committee at-large, which means they would need to be Top 10 or 11 to have a shot. Cheers, Neil [/QUOTE]
