I'm 100% Bama through and through....graduated from UA and live here still. But I'm still honest enough to say if Stanford hadn't got crushed by the Ducks....then that team or any other undefeated team should go. by your logic - only conference champions should play- are you for an LSU vs Houston BCS then? I mean they are technically the only 2 undefeated programs right? Just because you win a conference doesn't parlay into being a top tier team....say West Virginia had run the table in the Big East with exception to their loss to LSU....would you think the best Big East team should face off against LSU again?
The BCS is set up to pit the top 2 teams against each other regardless of conference placement or fan vote for a rematch or not. That is what it has done here. Would you argue that a 6-6 UCLA team should go if they win the Pac12 this weekend? 'because they are a conference champ'? This is my point....it's the best TEAM not best conference champion....I know it sucks to hear about the SEC year in and year out....5 straight BCS blah blah blah.....but tell the outsiders to beat us...and it will be solved....Oregon had a shot for the Pac12....fail...Penn State for the Big 10...fail....in the past Oklahoma and Ohio State and Texas and Va Tech and Clemson.....fail. It is what it is...and until then whether we are pro SEC or anti SEC the smell test is passed. The Big 12 should have had Tex A&M beat Arkansas this season...then Ark wouldn't have been #3 last week and OK State would have been higher now and the debate would be different maybe...but what if's are just that, hypotheticals.....reality is the teams playing from behind made their beds by losing close to shitty teams or by big margins to quality teams.....and when the dust cleared...
