If not, why are conference championships even awarded?
If Penn State went 8-4, losing 4 non conference games and Ohio State went 11-1 losing to Penn State, would you say that Penn State is the best team in the conference?

yes that would make them by record the best team in the conference, but losing to 4 out of conference opponents means you're not one of the 4 best teams in the country

If UF had beaten Bama would they have been the best team in the conference? NO

So you would take an 18th ranked ACC Conf Champ, over a 6th ranked 11-1 SEC runner up for the final 4 playoff spots?

Why do you hate T-shirt, ring, banner and trophy companies?

They are best team in conference play.
There was another quarter of the season that doesn't matter for conference championships but does matter for winning a national championship
eta - If they both had the same record and Penn State won the conference championship game, they would have been in over Ohio State.

Exactly. A conf champ is a conf champ. It means something, but it's not the same as playing for the title. If 9-2 is automatically worse than 10-1 we are back to playing powder puff off season games

Germans but yes ... they beat OSU AND won the B1G.
Which to me is more important than OSU having one less loss.

Because you could have it where a lot of weak teams are all on one side on the conference(see SEC East) yet catch lightning in a bottle one game...are we supposed to overlook the entire rest of the season and deem a four loss team as the best team in the conference to an undefeated team they just lucked up and beat?
If that is the case, while we are at it, let's just have all the conference champs in the playoff...5 teams...top 3 records get a bye(tie breaker could be opponent win percent), be prepared for some shitty teams to get in from time to time but according to some conference champ game winners are ALL that matter.

The BEST team in the Big 10 is the one that beat the champ by 39 and got hosed on too many calls to count in Columbus.

They violated the Saban-Meyer Rule and were appropriately punished.

I think it is a little more complicated than that. The committee hedged. Ohio State in and Washington.
I think Oklahoma would argue they were penalized more for playing a tough OOC while Washington did not.
So, you can still get in playing powder puff games OOC as long as you also win a conference championship, apparently. You can also get in if you play and tough OOC and barely miss getting to play in your conference championship.
The issue will continue to arise as long there are four spots and five major conferences. That does not mean we should go to more teams, but we might as well acknowledge there will always be room for debate as to whether the best teams got in that year.

In 2004, if Alabama was the undefeated team they would have played for the title. I feel like you know that now. Now go to bed, Daddy Crimson Tide got some bills to pay. Go have fun in the sugar bowl, get yourself a hand granade & have a ball.
