[QUOTE="Jean-Baptiste Rochambeau, post: 93326, member: 1017"] True, bowl match-ups are more easily manipulated. But at the top of conference there can be no debate that the SEC has stronger teams. Some of the "cherry-picked" wins for other leagues come against lower tier SEC teams, that get bowl bids that other conferences wouldn't get. Several factors---your location argument is valid, and the bowls (and ESPN) favor giving SEC teams bids because they have fans that actually go to the games. As I understand it, the Playoff Selection Committee is going to have a hand in making the bowl match-ups for not just the top four, but also for the bowls that are in the rotation for semi-finals. That could be very interesting. The committee will choose at large participants for the Peach, Fiesta, and Cotton Bowl, and the Orange Bowl if the ACC champion is in the semi-final games. Talk about a corruptible scenario. They will never pit SEC against SEC. They will want a national champion from the SEC PLUS the league going 4-0 against the other conferences in the "other" bowl games. [/QUOTE]
