"In 2008, SEC commissioner Mike Slive pitched a so-called “plus-one” plan that essentially was a four-team playoff using existing bowl games. Other than the ACC, the other conferences not only summarily rejected the plan, they refused to even discuss its details."
You brought this on yourselves, the SEC wanted a playoff. This is the reason why: "The reason? That a “plus one” would prove so popular and profitable that there would be pressure to expand it, something the powerful bowl lobby opposes. “Even though we could construct barriers at this time, we felt like there could be easily an erosion of that, more pressure to add more teams with an ability to get to the national championship game as we went over time,” then-Big 12 commissioner Dan Beebe explained at the time." Oklahoma State is at fault for this.... hahahahahahahahhahahhahahahaha
