I really don't care if they're one of the two best teams... or the best one-loss team.

If you finish 2nd out of 6 in a division of the SEC -- you have no business playing for a national title.

Stupid.
the system is supposed to produce the two best teams for the title game. if they're the best two, and it seems you agree that they are, what more is there to say?
should alabama be punished because it's in the same conference and division as lsu? that seems somewhat unfair, doesn't it? it wouldn't be right to exclude a team solely because of where it plays. if it's the 2nd best team, it's the 2nd best team.
lsu is the only no loss team. bama has one, in ot-which gives it a better record than any other team in the top 20 except okla state. however, bama's ot loss was to lsu, whereas ok st lost in ot to iowa state, who has a 6-6 record.
