I think we could see changes as early as next year if the SEC only gets 3 teams into the playoff while the Big 10 gets 4.  I think ESPN and the SEC will talk behind closed doors and grumble all off season until it goes to 14 teams because of the $$ they lost.  Any thoughts?

I would also like to see the conferences winners get automatic bids but not necessarily the top 4 spots.  I think it should be like basketball.  Win your conference and you get in, once they have the 12 then they seed then accordingly.
