You asked for expansion.
You may be rewarded with a 3-loss Alabama team that lost 24-3 @ a crap Oklahoma team making the playoff.
Oh, and that team absolutely has the potential to beat anyone in the country.
It’s too late now, but moving forward just be careful what you wish for.

The Committee has Georgia behind a Notre Dame team that lost to NIU, and Tennessee behind an Ohio State team that just lost to 7-5 Michigan. The question must be asked: why is the Committee so biased against the SEC? 🤔
