we will never know, what we do know is that OU was the better team last night. I kinda get why so many posters on this site whine, cry and moan about the SEC. I don’t see it that way. When NU was ruling college football, ESPN sniffed their jock as well. Go back and watch your old VCR tapes of the coverage of not only NBC but ESPN after NU shelled Florida.
When you win 7 consecutive National title games what do you expect people to talk about?
The only way to stop that talk is to start beating them. (you are on the clock FSU)
Football in the south has never been bigger, the sheer size and depth of the talent footprint is unprecedented. 7 on 7 winter football is huge in the south and the SEC footprint is deep and rich in talent. It’s not that states like Oklahoma, Ohio, & Pennsylvania don’t produce good football players; the south is just producing so much more in volume.
The four team playoff is going to go a long way in putting an end to this debate. You don’t always get the two best teams together for the BCS the way it is now but moving forward, the chances of getting the two best teams on the field with inviting the top 4 to play in a playoff will help ensure that happens. I don’t think the SEC will run off 7 in a row moving forward ever again. I do think they will be in the mix more than not.
