Everyone knew when the College Football Playoff was created that omitting teh requiremetn for a Conference Championship played heavily in favor of teh SEC every year. I find it a bit ironic and seemingly a bit of poetic justice that Gene Smith would object to Georgia (2 losses) being ranked aheado of Ohio State ( 1 loss) in 2018 when (1) neither of theme were in the playhoff anyway and (2) Apparently it was OK with Ohio State when they were included in th ePlayoff (2016) without a Conference Championship while the Big 10 champion Penn State was left out.

It has been apparent form day 1 that the Playoff Committee has zero regaurd for Conference Championships other than presumably an extra vicotry against presumable a top 20 team.

I see alot of chatter on the web starting to pick up surroundint teh end of teh curent coference media rights contracts coinciding with the end of the initial College Football Playoff Contract, the anticpate implosions of teh Big 12 and the absorbtion of Texas and Oklahoma into the Power 4, or that the PAC 12 might imploded over a lakc of financial respect form teh networks. At any rate The conference Champion has never been a signigicant dtermining factor for the committee and apparently never will be.
