Talking heads = hypocrits!
How many heard this 3 years ago??
"If you dont win your conference you dont deserve to play for the NC"
EXACT same guys today calling for a OSU/Mich NC game..
Its just disgusting how the media trys to play all this.. The SEC should just disband itself because the media is obviously against us.. Its Michigan OR USC.. NO SEC team has been mentioned for the last 3 weeks! Florida doesnt deserve to go because they played a creme puff today?? Oh but ND can make it and play Army, Navy, Stanford?? USC lost to an UNRANKED TEAM! Im glad we lost to Florida because I would be throwing up right now because its not ok for us to play a close game but its heroic for USC to come back and win vs a losing team..
Its all about ABC money
Personally I think it should be the 2 best teams that play, regardless of technicalities like who won the conference. When OU played for the NC they probably weren't 1 of the 2 best teams, but in this case the argument can most certainly be made that Michigan is.
The SEC is the best conference overall but does not have the best team in the nation. While I am a Razorback fan and think they are as good as almost anybody I still think Ohio State is the best in the country and #2 could be one of about five teams including UofA and Fla. Auburn was the team the national media was focussed on and when it fell the conference status fell with it.
ND's schedule year in an year out is as tough as any one's. It may play the service academies (as a favor to them) but also routinely plays the best from the rest of the conferences. They could easily beat USC and be in the title game without it being an injustice.
Razorbacks all the way.
FWIW, Collin Cowherd had OSU v. Arkansas in the title game this past week.
