Alabama should go directly to championship game......

I overheard a co-worker saying this at work yesterday. I asked him what he was talking about and he said that it wasn't fair that you should have to play a divison championship game and then be ranked for the national championship. He said that he thinks that your end of the season ranking should be what sends you to NC game. I said that it does. Your division championship game is PART of your season. He said no, regular season should be all that counts, because Alabama is undefeated in the regular season and is #1 and should play for the NC based on that. I asked him why this concern....was he AFRAID Alabama was going to lose to Florida. He said NOOOO....we will beat them by at least 3 touchdowns!!!!
