Yes, but instead of those games being up to schools to schedule, mixing bad teams with good ones into a conference would force those games every year.

If you break up the SEC, PAC-12, et al, and create new conferences with a mixture of those teams and non-AQ teams, you'd be replacing regular season games like USC-UCLA and Alabama-LSU for USC-San Jose State and Alabama-Troy. People want more big time regular season matchups, not fewer.

ESPN, Sports Illustrated, Fox Sports...basically every sports media outlet agrees that the SEC is the best conference. But go on with your conspiracy theories...that's what helped the SEC embarrass Michigan, Texas, Notre Dame, Oklahoma, Ohio State, etc., not superior football.

So what about the bye week? Texas A&M had played FCS Sam Houston State before their game against Alabama, and LSU had a bye before Alabama, too.

Ole Miss is in the Top 25, along with six other teams in a conference you say is "weak".

How many of those football players could've named the women's basketball coach? I'm guessing fewer than 5. If they were so broken up about it, no one would've faulted them for postponing the game.

And Bama's schedule includes

And this: If Alabama wins out, they'll have as many Top 25 wins (5) as Florida State, Ohio State and Baylor combined.

Wouldn't that dilute the regular season? The intra-conference rivalries would die, replaced with more matchups between powerhouses and mid-majors.

Surely this isn't right: The Pac-12 is winless in its last 10 games against SEC teams not named Tennessee.

I'll concern myself with the Pac-12's athleticism when they beat a good SEC team, but they've proved over and over that they can't handle the style of defense that is the SEC's specialty.

Since 1990? How many kids playing college ball now were even alive then? So what?!

What makes you think an Oklahoma State team that lost to Iowa State would perform better than Alabama?

I don't "worry" about the "unfair" title shot Bama got. Alabama completely dominated that game and proved who the best team in football was.

Sorry. They blew their chance when they lost to Iowa State. It was LSU and Alabama. Oklahoma State was a very distant third. Rematches happen in sports. The 2007 Patriots beat the Giants in the last game of their undefeated regular season but lost in the Super Bowl.

So a team that lost to a 4-touchdown underdog should get a second chance instead? You prefer the inferior team because you don't believe in rematches?

Why?

The Alabama-LSU regular season game was as close as they get, and Alabama dominated every facet of the championship game.

Bama's schedule is tougher than anyone else in the Top 5.

Who was the best team in the country in 2011?
