Where were all you conference loving bastards last year when Bama was playing Clemson? Pulling for Clemson, thats where you were.

Bama had become too good, too far ahead of everyone else. That is harder to sell as being "best for everyone else".

A good SEC rep will help teams that are in position to make the playoffs; specially one fighting for the last spot. No one reasonably can argue against that. The committee is supposed to look at the current season only but don't tell me having a team play in the Championship 13 of the last 14 years (or whatever it is) including a couple of all SEC finals is not buried in people's minds. That is diluted if it is just one team. See the ACC with Clemson.
