re: When Top 5 teams have met twice, the team that lost initially went on to win by 21+

Well, since Georgia was ranked third, they wouldn’t have gotten a rematch if it was still two teams. But it’s now 4 teams, not 2. A subtle difference, perhaps you weren’t aware
My understanding was that it wasn’t because Oklahoma State was more deserving. It was because a team that didn’t win its conference got a rematch against a team that beat them already. And that the conference champion had to beat the same opponent twice to win it all

The only legit gripe I’ve ever seen about the situation is that Bama got to sit and prepare while LSU had to play another game. Usually the 1st place team gets the bye. Do I think that changed the outcome. Not at all. Bama utterly dominated the NC game (21-0 doesn’t do justice to how one sided the game was). But as I said no doubt Alabama would have destroyed Okie St. The two best teams that year were clearly LSU and Alabama. Truthfully, I doubt there has ever been a season where two teams were so clearly superior to everyone else. If the goal is to get the two best teams in the Championship game, then that happened. I know I was hoping it was OSU because Saban with 5+ weeks to prepare just exacerbated the coaching mismatch.
