SEC needs Bama to win so that 1-loss SEC teams still make it to the big show. (I admit that if it were LSU playing I'd have a harder time with that rationale because of recruiting.)



This. A win demands that any team coming out of the SEC with only one loss be given a benefit of doubt over an identical team record from a weaker conference.

If there's 1 undefeated team next year and 2 1 loss teams, one of which is SEC, pollsters and computers aren't gonna say "well screw the season, it's the SEC so let's send them".


I think a similar situation might have happened this year if OSU had been eligible and the SEC didn't win last year. With Bama being the defending champs I think they'd be in there even with OSU being eligible.

But you may be right and I'm illogical. It isn't something I care much about as I have nothing against Bama, while ND is maybe #3 on my "teams I love to hate" list.
