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!!!!

Convenient logic.
That used to be the rule when they won their 80 somewhat NCs.
I kid.

Can a Championship game hurt a team, yes, see UT-Vols in 2001. They were ranked #2 on their way to the Rose Bowl (NC Game) and LSU whooped um' 31-20.
That being said, if Bama really thinks they are the best team, then they should have no problem prooving that they are at least the best in the SEC.

It won't happen but an arguement could be made Bama deserves a place in the NC game even with a close loss to Florida today. One loss is one loss and Bama would be in the same position as everyone else.

Alabama absolutely should have to play Florida to prove they are the best team in the SEC. I can understand his logic only if Bama already beat UF in the "regular season".
If Bama is truly the top team in the SEC they'll handle UF. If not, UF goes to championship game and deservingly so.
