As that 2008 year dropped Alabama from what should have been 3rd place all the way to 6th. Further proof the voters will go out of their way to prevent a 2nd SEC team even if it means taking 2 from another conference. Keep in mind the Big 12 had a CCG back then while the PAC and B1G did not. Now the CCG has become the norm and not the exception.

All of that is just speculation. First of all, the Staples article goes through the mindset and the process behind what the media did in their mock...not the actual committee. My point, which still remains, is that the committee took a non-champion over a champion, debunking the myth that they will take only conference champions if they get in that situation. Sure, the Big 12 had a championship game, but Texas didn't play in it, so the Big 12 championship game was irrelevant as far as Texas being chosen. Texas defeated their conference's champion; Alabama lost to their conference's champion. This had nothing to do with an anti-SEC bias. It was all about strength of schedule and quality of wins.
