If you’re arguing that a game between #2 and #8 is just as good a finalè as a game between #1 and #2, you’re fooling yourself out of pure nostalgia.

I mean...the 1980 Sugar Bowl featured #2 Alabama (11-0) vs. #7 Arkansas (10-1). While Arkansas wasn't ranked in the Top 5, they were still a 1-loss team with a potential to move up if things broke their way.
