I posted this in another Pavy's thread:
Think about this. They played an Oklahoma team that blew their shot at a National Title (kinda like Utah/Bama). They beat a TCU team who was snubbed from the National Title game. The bottom line is: They end up getting teams that aren't really motivated to be there and play them, yet, it is their Super Bowl. If they played in the title game it would be a totally different story. No way they could stop Bama's power running game in a title game. Bigger. stronger, faster athletes wouldn't get beat if motivated.
