Set-up question: if a conference gets 2 teams in the final 4, do they get a bigger piece of the payout?
Thought:
It was only a half year ago that all conferences outside of the SEC went to Defcon 1, circling the wagons in an attempt to box in the SEC/ESPN advance and takeover of CFB.
Real Question:
Given the above and the obvious disconnect between what ESPN talking heads are pushing versus what the committee seems to be laying out, then if one can make a reasonable case for any team other than a 2 loss Alabama or a Georgia that didn't win its conference, then why would the bulk of the committee be inclined to grant 2 SEC teams into the final four?
My take:
Containing SEC/ESPN hegemony of CFB means the majority of the committee is open to only 1 SEC team in the playoff. It might be the likeliest scenario.
