The BCS era is over. No longer a "Big 5" from SEC. Now there's just a "Big 0"

Several people on tRant as well as in the media no longer recognize schools who were national champions before the BCS Era.

Their logic would say Georgia's championship from the early 80s is null and void. They don't recognize Georgia's accomplishment because the polling system that determined a national champion from the pre-BCS days was incredibly faulty.

Well, using that logic, the BCS Era is over which means the championships earned in the BCS era are null and void simply because the creation of the Playoff Era is proof that the BCS Era was flawed, and therefore the selection of teams that appeared in BCS Championship games was flawed.

Using that logic, the Big 5 national champions from the SEC during the BCS Era must not be recognized.

The Playoff Era corrected a flawed design and leveled the field. The Big 5 no longer exist.

At this point, in the SEC, there's only the Big 0.

And nationally, there's only the Big 1 - The Ohio State.

Everyone else is just simply trying to be like The Ohio State.

Because I don't recall seeing anyone say all titles 1997 and earlier don't count.

It is, and has always been, about SEC titles.

In some eyes the poll era changes voided earlier titles, the bowl coalition voided poll titles, the BCS voided the coalition, and the playoff voided the BCS. An extended playoff will void its predecessor. Etc., etc., etc.

Ahhhh...so you don't recognize national titles before the playoff either.

Well, we're in agreement.
