We would deserve a penalty for putting up that SEC East Champions poster. It doesn't make conference play meaningless at all because you can't win your conference and get a buy if you don't play in the conference CG.I dont deny that it makes it relevant to win, but it also makes it a penalty too. If somehow we made it into the playoffs last year under this system we would have been penalized for getting to our conf champ game and could have had to play UGA on the road even though we bested them in conf play. We could have been left out of it too while UGA got in. Thats the point Im making by saying its making our conf play meaningless.
Win your conference then you don't have to be concerned with whining about where you're seeded or who you have to play. It's pretty simple. For the teams that get in without being Power 5 conf champs, just be glad you got in and try not to bltch about who you play, or about crowd noise, or if throwing a shoe is really a penalty would be my advice. The only team with a gripe is the 5th place conference champ because they don't get a buy. Everyone else stfu and be glad you have a shot.
