...or how "the system is rigged in the SEC's favor", I'm going to puke. Where was this outcry in 2001, 2003, and 2004, when the Big 12 was putting undeserving teams in the title game, and getting clubbed like baby seals once they got there? Was that a "Big 12 conspiracy"? But when a league that has proven time and time and time again that it belongs on this stage actually gets the benefit of the doubt for once, NOW it's a conspiracy. NOW we need an investigation.
The system sucks. That we can all agree on. But it did what it was designed to do this year: pit the two best teams against each other. I don't care about the number of wins vs. ranked opponents, I don't care who the computers like better. Sometimes the eye test and common sense have to come into play. All those who think OSU is getting jobbed need to ask themselves: If Bama and OSU were to meet on a neutral field, and you had to bet your life savings on one team straight up, who would it be? Case closed.
Hear, hear and amen.
