And this is what bothers me about anti-playoff folks. Because a smaller program like Troy (which has made phenomenal prgoress since moving up to D-I by the way) can't maintain a consistant competitive level with the 'top teams' or the 'top conferences' they are undeserving of EVER having a shot at a national title. I can't understand that line of thinking.

The media has made the SEC into this invincible conference made up of invincible programs and pumped it up to such proportions that if it is not represented in the title game most people don't legitimize that particular championship in their heads.

What is everyone afraid of? If Troy doesn't deserve to be there they will LOSE.

Anymore there are about five or six programs that have a legitimate shot at the title under the current system and people are happy with that?
