re: Only 11 schools (4 SEC) have played in a CFB title game, Final 4, and CWS

those are the field/court that the champion is crowned on so your list is the definitive list.

The 3rd place team doesn't play on the field where the champion is crowned in football, but the 8th place team in baseball does play on the field where the champion is crowned.

I know it isn't fair, but fact are facts.
