In the case of Arizona State/Iowa State, for example, I would say neither team is in at this point. Texas and Georgia, though, obviously are. The game can affect seeding from what I've been reading.

- But they will. The money grab conference championships make zero sense w/ 12 team playoff. - conorlarkin - 9:06am 12/1/24
- Correct - get rid of them and the ND penalty - Nigel Tufnel - 11:18am 12/1/24
- Yes, the conference championship game will affect their seeding but not their participation - MarkHarman - 9:44am 12/1/24
- It needs to end. Makes no sense other than SEC/Big trying to stack the playoffs. - LanceManion - 11:57am 12/1/24
- Rewarding the winner is more equitable than punishing the loser. [NT]

- But that may punish a team ‘already in’ if a team outside wins a conference championship - ndinga - 10:15am 12/1/24
- I think there's some room for fluidity in these cases - MarkHarman - 11:12am 12/1/24
- I say if you play the game, feel the consequences - ndinga - 10:18am 12/1/24
- The flipside is that Notre Dame would not have finished 11-1 playing a conference schedule. - conorlarkin - 10:32am 12/1/24
- Thank you, we actually agree on something. Not sure that has ever happened before [NT] - WoodstockIrish - 1:31pm 12/1/24
