it isn't necessarily bad that two teams from the same conference play for the National Championship, if that is what the results produce.

[glow=red,2,300]If those results are brought about by an inequitable system wherein those two participants played one fewer in-conference game and a trio of high school teams to get there, then, yes, it is bad.[/glow]

We may not like the SEC, but if they can win through, they should have the opportunity.

([glow=red,2,300]See above...which also applies to ACC teams, just slightly less so. I don’t think it’s a coincidence that 3 of the 4 teams in the race this year were from those two conferences). This is a committee problem of bowing to the $EC.[/glow]



I must also say that I do consider forcing a team to join a conference to be a bug, but that is probably a minor point. It shouldn't be the Larry Scott's of the world or nothing.
