But one of the great things about the Auburn-Alabama game was that it did eliminate Alabama.
Had that game occurred next year, it wouldn’t have mattered as much, since most likely Bama would have still made the playoffs.
That’s an unfortunate side effect, but more than ever, this needs to be settled on the field. I’m tired of the media (espn) telling us how it is. The ncaa should be steering this ship, but they acquiesce to the espn $$$.
