This has been my rule with this.
If you cannot win your own conference? You should not be playing for the national championship.
Alabama should not have been playing in 2011. That game was a disgrace.
Alabama should not have been playing last year.
Notre Dame, and the service academies are the exception to this. Because well...they obviously cannot -win- a conference title.
ESPN can shove it up their ass. i blame them and Gary Danielson oogling over the SEC like Musburger does over college girls over this shit.
Ohio State lost by 30 to Purdue. Not sure how you square that when push comes to shove.
Don’t think a conference championship means as much when everyone on the other side shit themselves. That is why Iowa flaming out was going to hurt Michigan or OSU in a situation where they needed an additional resume boost.
I just don’t see how Alabama is out if it’s a close loss. It’s just going to come down to OSU soiling themselves against a bad team.
The point of the playoff is to have the best 4 teams play. Alabama is one of the best 4 teams, with one game to play. When the dust settled on the big ten, it’s pretty ugly looking.
To me, conference championships matter for teams with similar resumes. OSU doesn’t have a similar resume to Alabama, unless they get their hole kicked in by Georgia.
