What's this?

No one wants to see one conference dominate a small tournament

Frankly after the TX/OK move, even less want to spend any time watching the SEC. ESPN has made me absolutely loathe the SEC. Frankly I was pretty neutral towards the SEC before ESPN started slobbering over them, and at the same time they were trashing the ACC.

The American public wants to see teams from different conference play for the title. Just don't fill the tournament up with SEC teams to the detriment of every other conference and/or independent school.

If this goes through as we start getting 4-5 SEC teams in the tournament, I'm turning it off.

Here you go if you need more information on it thanks to Domer (LINK) -- Stech 09/22/2021 1:00PM

Agreed. I dont think any of them trust each other - nor should they. This -- 133193Hokie 09/22/2021 1:11PM

I'd like to see the eight best teams with no more than 2 from 1 conference -- Flanker 09/21/2021 10:48PM

Well, no one trusted TX or Okl before the move to the SEC -- 133193Hokie 09/21/2021 2:48PM

And to add -- 133193Hokie 09/21/2021 3:22PM

No other conference was in the same position of strength as the SEC -- EDGEMAN 09/22/2021 09:18AM

The B1G was/is, and you better bet they would have taken TX/Okl -- 133193Hokie 09/22/2021 10:02AM

Of course, most of the angst is because the other conferences ALL hoped -- goldendomer 09/21/2021 3:18PM

As expected. When someone has it out for you, you don't hand them a gun. ** -- tarheelblue 09/21/2021 12:30PM

I thought the ACC, B1G, PAC12 Alliance showed a lot of Trust. -- HOO86 09/21/2021 12:19PM

The most they should do is punt this down the road several years... -- EDGEMAN 09/21/2021 1:40PM

Why. I get that everyone hates the SEC, but dont you -- 133193Hokie 09/21/2021 3:14PM

If you are a Hokie, you're not thinking this through -- VT ChemE 1986 09/22/2021 11:45AM

The CFP should be a National Event. -- HOO86 09/21/2021 4:10PM

So, you want to watch inferior teams make a playoff? Not me, I want -- 133193Hokie 09/21/2021 3:30PM

I have zero interest in watching 4 SEC teams in a CFP. -- Hokester 09/21/2021 11:05PM

So, has any team made the playoff that you think the commitee got wrong? ** -- 133193Hokie 09/22/2021 09:16AM

Yep. Ohio State instead of Bama couple years ago. -- Hokester 09/22/2021 11:04AM

Well if it is conf champs than hopefully VT moves to the -- 133193Hokie 09/22/2021 11:14AM

I guess you would have actually left out UGA since they -- 133193Hokie 09/21/2021 4:36PM

Yes absolutely. That's the way it works in all other sports -- HokieAl 09/21/2021 3:51PM

And you watch a crappy NFC east team get their ass handed to them -- 133193Hokie 09/21/2021 3:56PM

Last year, that crappy team was behind by 5 with 5 minutes left -- WestyHokie 09/21/2021 4:52PM

If the team left out was deserving then they should have won more games -- HokieAl 09/21/2021 4:28PM

Shouldn't the 8-4 PAC Champ have won more games if they were deserving ** -- 133193Hokie 09/21/2021 4:33PM

8-4 Champ has not happened since 1999 (before champ game) -- goldendomer 09/21/2021 4:37PM

My point was hypothetical - Wash was 10-3 that year and NOT a good team -- 133193Hokie 09/21/2021 4:41PM

I understand your point. But the fact is each major conference will want -- goldendomer 09/21/2021 4:44PM

You are proving the need for expanded playoffs -- HokieAl 09/21/2021 4:43PM

I dont care if it is 4-8-12-32 but it should be the best teams. No auto -- 133193Hokie 09/21/2021 5:06PM

But that's just it. Who decides who the best teams are? -- Hokester 09/21/2021 11:16PM

I agree. The playoff should not turn into a SEC invitational. -- goldendomer 09/21/2021 3:23PM

I imagine 2025 will be the earliest. Stopping at 8 seems to be gaining -- goldendomer 09/21/2021 11:04AM

Than 8 wont be enough and we will move past 8 at some point. ** -- 133193Hokie 09/21/2021 2:54PM

If money is involved greed will enter. I hope they move to 6 (won't happen) -- goldendomer 09/21/2021 2:58PM

No byes for anyone - any format that includes byes -- 133966Hokie 09/21/2021 6:12PM

And from 12 to 16 at some point. No matter what, you -- 133193Hokie 09/21/2021 3:02PM

8 is best number. -- Hokester 09/21/2021 2:20PM

Can't imagine why that would happen...lol ** -- EDGEMAN 09/21/2021 08:50AM
