No, we haven't. Texas v. Alabama is the best possible matchup (of the remaining un-defeated teams) for the national championship.
There are more games than Texas-Alabama. Of those, we have been deprived of the best possible matchups. I would think that would be obvious.
I agree with that. Not that I’m certain these are the two best teams. But they are two undefeated teams who played difficult schedules, so they at least have as much claim to the title game as any other team.
I just would like to see Boise State play a highly ranked team from a major conference. If they get crushed, we’ll never have to hear about it again — nobody complains any more about Hawaii not getting recognized.
Same I guess with TCU — if they play a known good team and get crushed, then next year the strength of schedule will be more acceptable as a way to eliminate teams from consideration.
By having them play each other, whoever wins, if they have another undefeated season next year, will still be screaming about getting a chance. The only way to settle it is to force a highly ranked powerhouse to play them, since no team will sign up for that on their own.
Fexas is not the best, they just have the best access to money and that is all today’s football is!
