That doesn't really explain why the "National Champion" Gators were still able to play in the title game even though they lost to an unranked Ole Miss team. Texas' only loss last year was in the final seconds to a #5 Texas Tech team, but couldn't even go to the Big 12 championship game because there were so many highly ranked teams in the conference.
SEC, toughest indeed.
You mean that same Ole Miss team that spanked Texas Tech in the Cotton Bowl?
FL won their division is why they went to the SEC title game. Ole Miss was not in their division.
