Yes, I am fully aware that Florida could win the SEC and by my standards that would put them in the tourney over Alabama. The same could happen with Colorado vs Washington and with VT over Clemson.
Yes, I would be completely fine with all of those outcomes. It should be decided on the field of play. Period. If the Conference Championships are to mean anything, then it should be the ticket to the tourney.
If the CFP wants legitimacy, then they need to take the role of “opinions” out of it.
Of course, if they expanded to 8 teams, they could take all 5 conference champs (making me happy) and then 3 at large bids (making you happy.) Until then, let it be decided on the field.
Until then, let it be decided on the field.
I thought that’s what the regular season is for; you know, where Florida lost three games and Bama none...
Looks like that game WAS decided on the field. Bama beat Florida, so the better team won and will move on. Had Florida won, they would have proven themselves better on that day and should have moved on. Woulda and shoulda aren’t worthy now for that game.
I still think Penn State got jobbed. They won the Big 10 title AND beat the Buckeyes on the field.
