Would that be detrimental to the SEC, a conference in which a few think is overrated? Possibly, though I would think it may be the other way around. I could definitely see a 3 loss Florida going to West Virginia, or Oregon and being victorious.

Montana needs to get some talent at QB back in the system. They haven't had a great QB since Brian Ah-yat, and that's been a while.
I was worried about them in the playoffs because they didn't exactly walk through the conference schedule, and I'd say the conference was down a bit this year.
They will always be a powerhouse, but Hauck needs to start scheduling like they used to in the glory days.
