It's not a coincidence at all and the ESPN/SEC clowns know it, we are going to get a real annoying even harder push than before for the next few years about how "GRUELING!!!!" the SEC schedule is, regardless to how they perform in the post season, and regardless to how its no more grueling than the B1G when looked at from non biased glasses. They gotta talk more SEC teams into the playoff based on past "toughness" perception because clearly they aren't going to actually deserve it based on current year merit

You kids stay off my lawn!
Let me just say that it’s time for a NATIONAL tournament where teams from the South have to play in the north and teams from the west have to travel to the east and the NCG rotates through all four regions. Let the bowls fall down go boom and get the fuck out of the way.

If Ohio State had went 9-3 in 2024 with losses to Oregon, scUM and say Nebraska, would any of these media clowns be advocating and crying that we shoulda gotten into the playoff? The answer is hell no.
But we are all supposed to pretend its a travesty that Bama and Ole Miss didn't get in because they both lost 3 games and had multiple losses to meh teams

Not aimed at "mania," but this is why I think the conference matters. Win the ACC or Big Eight, you'd better have only one loss, or you better have some impressive outings in OOC games with SEC/Big 10 teams.If Ohio State had went 9-3 in 2024 with losses to Oregon, scUM and say Nebraska, would any of these media clowns be advocating and crying that we shoulda gotten into the playoff?

That's also why I want to see other Big 10 teams start earning their BTN dollars.

The conference does matter especially when you get below the B1G & SEC, that's pretty obvious.
At SOME POINT losses should matter though. But I get the feeling that SMU flopping on their face will make the committee think twice before ever giving a ACC type team like them the bid over a meh 3 loss Bama type team ever again.
The SEC is basically playing the "losses in the SEC should count less" card with their "LOOK AT HOW TOUGH OUR CONFERENCE SCHEDULE IS!" manifesto they sent out to the media. They are pretty much straight up ignoring that Bama and Ole Miss both lost 2/3 of their games to meh average at best teams.

I have misplaced my pants.
A buddy of mine had an idea that I like: move the bowl games to the beginning of the next season. Every team qualifies for a bowl, but many or most are at home fields for one team. You still have the Sugar Bowl, Rose Bowl, Poop Bucket Bowl... but that's Week 1 of the next year. The only post-season games are the playoffs.
I'd add that all rounds should be home games for the better seeds until the championship. Like you said, southern teams will have to travel north sometimes (Welcome, Tennessee fans!).
I like your idea of moving the championship game through the 4 regions, but if I only get one, I'd choose to have more of the playoff games at home stadiums.

Bama should try having a QB that can throw beyond an SMU level
or one that remembers that he's among the most dominant weapons at QB that the school has ever seen.
or they could throw for Harbaugh like qb numbers and then complain when people notice.
