Alice: "
to argue that we are on a par with SEC is foolish with regard to National Championships and national powers."The problem I see, is that the bias favoring SEC teams in football is apparent, and has played a major part in deciding who gets to be in national championship games. Simply denying access to Big 12 or other conference champions is an easy way to create a circular logic - more SEC teams win "
national championships" because more SEC teams are selected to play in the title game.
And comparing teams is often very subjective. I agree that the Baylor team that struggled against West Virginia would get mauled by the LSU team which beat Alabama, but the Baylor team that thrashed Texas would beat the LSU team which struggled against Texas earlier in the year. The main reason for a genuine playoff (8 teams at least) is to settle the question on the field, not in some committee behind closed doors.
That which does not kill me, will try again and get nastier
