With no conference championship, Auburn wins the conference and is #2 in the playoff.

The larger point is that talking heads want the conference championship to matter in the rankings, but the committee has basically said it doesn't matter--based on the last two years. Alabama avoids an extra game and rests. Auburn plays a game, gets embarrassed and then has to play UCF. So, why have the extra game, when: 1) a conference can decide who the champion is and 2) the committee isn't exactly rewarding all champions?

It does matter. UGA won their way in.

The only reason tOSU didn't get in this year is they lost by 30 frickin points to some iowa team. We didn't get in because we lost to LSU.

Last year you couldve had a point when tOSU lost their championship game and still got in, but this year teams who won either got in or were passed over because their regular season was trash.
