Heck, I've heard the argument that not having a champ game is an advantage since it is one less chance a team can get upset and fall out of the top 2 or 4.

It is an advantage if your top team is undefeated... an undefeated team from a top league will be in the playoff regardless, so no need to risk a loss in a 13th game against a good opponent.

If the playoff money is good enough, the SEC might even think about dumping its conference title game and just designating "SEC East champions" and "SEC West champions". If the current reputation of the SEC holds, then a one-loss SEC division champ has an excellent chance of being in a playoff and the SEC has an even better chance of placing two teams in the playoff. Why saddle one of those division champs with an extra loss by playing a conference title game?

I think that's exactly where the "deregulation" sentiment out there comes from. Why should the NCAA dictate how conferences crown their champs?

Heck, if it was the BCS or playoff entity dictating this it might make more sense, but why the NCAA (who has little to do with the postseason)?
