What did they proove on the field? That they could beat some really not so good teams? This SEC writer lays out the facts, maybe you should read this. I posted it in the other teams forum.

That above link is a great article written by an admitted SEC supporter, pointing out what a travesty it is that Bama beat out OSU for the right to play in the NC game.
I also loved this quote from that article:
One side note – if you’re wondering why nearly every voice at ESPN is united in proposing the single argument that there IS no argument on who should be playing LSU… If you’re wondering how a network that usually encourages us to debate every possible nuance of CFB has now for two weeks been unified in selling us a single message, I remind you of this little ditty:
The Entertainment and Sports Programming Network recently paid $2.25 billion, that’s with a B, for broadcasting rights to the SEC for 15 years…AND ESPN now owns the broadcasting rights for our sports’ BCS Championship game as well.
Yes, ESPN has its fingers in nearly every conference, but nothing to the scale it has invested with the SEC. That’s a lot of motivation to support the LSU/Bama brands…in a neck-and-neck situation, especially. Somebody bang a gavel and keep it in the family

I have been saying for years that ESPN and its money is the worst thing that has ever happened to sports at all levels: high school, college and professional.
