The SEC just nullifies the regular season head to head game tie breaker. In both the SEC CG and the CFP the loser of the first game beat the winner in a rematch game.
How do you defend the head to head tie breaker argument now??

Because when determining rankings at the end of the regular season between two teams, it makes sense to see which team beat the other during the regular season?
How is this complicated?

People demanded an expanded playoff... that's the result.
Can you imagine if they cancelled a Wild Card NFL game just because the two teams met earlier in the season?

The most recent game is the one that matters most.
What is there to defend? Sometimes it works in your favor, sometimes it doesn't.

So, let me get this straight.
If two teams end up tied for 1st place, you think it’s a stupid idea to say the team that won a head to head meeting between the two is more deserving of the reward?

In the era of conference championship games in the P5 (SEC, ACC, Big 10, Big XII, and PAC-12), how many times has the championship game been a rematch of a regular season game, and how many times has the winner of the regular season game also won the championship game?
The answer:
quote:
Totals Across All Power Five Conferences
• Total number of conference championship games that were rematches of a regular-season game:
˜ 37 times (8 + 5 + 3 + 12 + 9)
• Total times the team that won the regular-season meeting also won the championship game:
˜ 24 times

OU was always behind Bama with two conference losses to Bama’s 1 conference loss and was never getting to Atlanta. In fact, Bama was the 1 seed at the top of the conference standings for most of the year. They didn’t fall behind A&M until they lost to OU and were then 2. It wasn’t them that needed A& M to lose to get to the title game, it was Ga. Bama was always going to be in. Head to head had nothing to do with it. Opponent won loss record is the tie breaker in this case.
