The removal of the BCS system and the introduction of the four-team College Football Playoff is one of the best things to ever happen to the sport.
Now, after 10 years with the four-team format, the 2024 season will be the first year with a 12-team field.

For example, the Alabama Crimson Tide qualified for the Playoff in eight of the seasons and played for six national titles during that span.
Fortunately, the 12-team field should open a new door...

The SEC has some great defensive players. Some can be legit game-changers. But one player does not make a defense. Offenses can scheme around one great defender. Such a task becomes far more difficult when an opponent has two, three, or more elite defenders.
