Sid, I agree with you. And if the PAC10 or the Big 10 go on to win the NC for several years then the they should make the same argument that the SEC has made after several years of winning the NC. The SEC didn't/shouldn't have made this argument until it was repeated year after year. 8)
If one of those conferences wins it for the next 6 years after this I'll give them their just due..... and I'll try not to point out how it was almost a certainty that the team left out at #5 each year like a TCU most likely would have steamrolled the eventual NC winner. :wink: 8)
