Correction.... Zero conference championships. If the Air Raid offense can't win the PAC12 and BIG12, why will it win in the SEC? Oh, it will be fun to watch and Miss St will be some teams they are not used to beating but I don't they need to make hotel reservations in Atlanta yet.

Mike Leach is going to win even more Nation Titles with his Air Raid offense now that he's in the SEC. After all, he did it at Kentucky, Texas Tech, and Washington State. Oh wait.... Between his time at TT and WaState, he exactly 2 conference championships with those crappy Big 12 and PAC12 defenses. And still sits at 7-8 in bowl games. Mike Leach is most successful when he has the right QB and this week's game was enabled by the fact that he was able to bring such a QB with him. Wait until the good defensive teams get more SEC tape to watch.

That was supposed to be a reply to the article, not your post. Sorry.

Not mentioned in the article is real reason the non-power 5 teams are excluded. Since the NCAA never formally declared football national championships (unlike the basketball tournament) the Power 5 conferences threatened to leave the NCAA to form their own organization. In order to keep them in the NCAA (thus in the tourney) the NCAA gave them the power to create their own rules. The Power 5 them gave full controlling power. The Group of 5 conferences don't even have a seat at the table. Can anyone identify a Group of 5 representative that has been a part of any playoff committee? As it turns out, the Group of 5 teams are mostly ok with the system because as the Power 5 teams have been making increasing amounts of money each year, more of that money is trickling down to them. Everyone is making more money than before. So, as long as you view the Playoff committee as a Power 5 committee rather than a College Football committee, you'll understand.

"UCF logic" Beat Auburn after they beat Bama. Settled on the field.

If you want to use UGA's 2 games against Auburn, since they were split, the scores from the two games favor AU.... 47-45. :) Georgia<Bama<Auburn<Georgia<Bama<UCF

They did this last year. Bama<Auburn<UCF.
