Why bother with Conference Championship games then? They are about as useless as Conference Basketball Tournaments.
For OSU, the Michigan game is bigger than any other Big10 game, right or wrong. Florida always hopes to beat Florida State. I’m sure there are more... What college football lacks in mathematical purity it makes up for with old fashioned rivalry. I worked for a two star general who ripped the rear bumper off a car simply because he was FSU and saw a Gator bumper sticker.
Ding, ding, ding, ding!!!!
Winner!
As an Alabama fan, the SEC game yesterday proved nothing, we would have beaten Florida anyway, and we’d have Hamilton back.
Don’t you understand? The BCA was designed from the first place all about the SEC. Their folks pushed it and got it arranged to favor them. At the time, the talk was all about conference championships . . . guess what, the SEC was then one of the only major conferences that bothered with such a gimmick. (They needed one, because otherwise, some seasons good teams would otherwise not meet each other at all.)
But now, that the SEC has this other system in their pocket, conference champions are unimportant, so long as the SEC has a chance to get one and maybe two teams in the playoff.
My alma mater now longer fields football teams.
