So Auburn should play for National Championship because they beat Alabama?

OK, but LSU beat Auburn, then Ole Miss beat LSU and Mississippi State beat Ole Miss. And what about Bowling Green? They beat previously undefeated Norther nIllinois and lost to Mississippi State by only a single point!

Put me down for welcoming a playoff.

The SEC champion got the nod over a bunch of other one-loss teams. Which team do you think got hosed? The only one that can make much of a case is Michigan State, which went undefeated in the second-best conference, its only loss inexplicably coming to the Fighting Amish of Notre Dame.

among them a 32 point loss to an Indiana team that went only 3-5 in the Big Ten. Their strength of schedule ranks 123th in the nation. NIU's SoS ranks 113th. Neither team deserves consideration for anything..
