The current state of college football feels like a high-stakes algebra problem gone terribly wrong. A deep dive into the SEC's improbable tiebreaker scenarios involving Alabama, Georgia, and Ole Miss reveals just how convoluted the system is becoming based on who played whom. Meanwhile, the Big Ten's aggressive moves effectively dismantled an entire conference, the Pac-12.

Examine the fallout from the realignment era and the paths *not* taken.
