An all-SEC title game is a travesty. There should never be 2 schools from the same conference in the final. Further evidence that the National championship process is corrupted so that the SEC is weighted higher than others, in order to almost guarantee that it wins the #1 slot.
If the SEC schools should not have been there, then how did they win to advance?
They need to eliminate teams that did not win their conference. Do this and force Notre Dame, etc to join a conference or not be considered. Alabama lost to LSU at home in 2011. LSU was forced to have to beat Alabama twice to win a national championship by the stupid committee back then. Alabama not only did not have to play the extra Conference championship game but were given a chance to win a national championship by beating LSU just one time. How on earth was this fair to LSU? That year, the regular season loss to LSU should have been treated as a playoff game where Alabama lost it’s shot to compete for a championship. Oklahoma State, who won it’s conference should have been given the opportunity to compete with LSU that year.
This season is almost the same scenario except that Georgia is not being asked to defeat Alabama twice to win the championship because they had not met in the regular season. At least both teams had to earn their spot by defeating worthy opponents first.
If two teams played in the regular season, THAT game should knock the loser out of being able to compete with the team who beat them for the national championship and some other team should be allowed to compete for the title. This, or ONLY Conference champions are eligible.
