I don't think any two-loss teams get in the playoffs.
Both SEC teams lost in the semifinals, and Oregon absolutely annihilated Florida State. Does the SEC pervasive myth mean they should have had both of those spots, including the spot where the team lost by 39?
It reminds me of the USC vs. Oklahoma Orange Bowl in 2005. Commentator Craig James went on and on about how the Pac-10 was overrated and Oklahoma was going to win big. He thought USC was overrated because it had close games against Stanford, Ca.l and UCLA. All three talking heads (James, Aaron Taylor) predicted USC. Bob Griese said USC had a bad supporting cast (Reggie Bush, LenDale White, Matt Leinart, STeve Smith, Dwayne Jarrett, Dominique Byrd). And USC had finished first in the 2003 and 2004 final polls. USC was ahead at the half, 38-10, which was the most points Oklahoma had ever given up in a full bowl game.
West coast football doesn't get enough respect.
