re: Big 12 Woes

An Auburn friend of mine brought up an interesting point today. He said that Okie State should be playing LSU and bot Bama. The reasons he stated was that Okie State won their conference without being in a conference championship game. Bama wasn't in a conference championship game either, but since Ga. and LSU played, and LSU won, then since Ga. won their division and played in Atlanta, then it's logical that Ga. is the SEC runnerup since they lost to LSU in the conference championship. Ga. only had one loss, like Bama, until Ga. lost to LSU. If it wasn't for the SEC champ game, Ga. would have as many loses as Bama. I can see his logic plus Saban voted Okie State lower than number three in the coaches poll. Why was Saban allowed to push for Bama's cause while LSU was playing Ga. on ESPN? Why wasn't a representative of Okie State given the same time period? I swear, the Barners in this state are always making sense.
