[QUOTE="Deleted member 631370, post: 1354947"] I disagree. It's not that it doesn't matter. But a team playing for -- and winning -- a conference championship doesn't mean the team is automatically better than a comparable non-champion. The committee's job is to pick the 4 best teams in the country. Nowhere is it stated that a team must win their conference championship to be among the 4 best teams in the nation. There have been years in the recent past in which the SEC has had arguably the two best teams in the country. Remember when Alabama and LSU played for the title? It happens. Likewise, there could be a scenario in which the Big Ten has two of the best teams in the nation. Was it 2006 when both Ohio State and Michigan were in the top 3? It just so happens that Alabama won the eye test over Ohio State. I happen to agree with that as well. Last year, I agreed that Ohio State won the eye test over Penn State. [/QUOTE]
