re: SEC Champ Rings

I know that 99% of Bammers would've felt the same way if the shoe were on the other foot. No way in hell ESPN would've lobbied that hard for us. Imagine a season where #2 Bama were to beat #1 Auburn @ Jordan-Hare. Then, a rematch in the BCS championship. You would hear, "THIS AIN'T FER ! WE BEAT EM AT THAR PLACE! THEY DON'T DESERVE NO REMATCH!" Hats off. Y'all won the game, but he fact that y'all got a second shot IS the reason there was so much urgency to reevaluate the system with the Florida meetings. The rematch totally diminished conference play/performance. Hell, why win the SEC & be penalized by playing an extra game against a quality opponent? Risk injury? Risk a loss? Just lose close and stay home to practice and rest.
