Bama doesn't deserve a spot NC game

Consider the possibility of Bama in SEC East and they play LSU in SEC championship game. If the result of the game is the same as the one in Tuscaloosa, LSU 9 - Bama 6, would Bama be a likely candidate for NC game. A team that lost its most recent game may be dropped in favor of another deserving team.

Before you say SEC, remember 2006. Big 10 was considered a formidable conference and the game between Ohio State and Michigan was close, even well played. In addition Michigan was ranked no. 2 going into that game. Florida got the chance when people voted against a rematch.

Only difference in the current state for Bama is the timing. They did not lose their game in the last week, but have lost it earlier. Earlier than Okie State. If the timing of the loss is an issue, the team that should have inside track is Va Tech. They lost their game early, get a chance to beat the team that defeated them. If Va Tech convincingly beats Clemson, they will have a similar record as Bama, have a conference championship, and would have avenged a loss in the course of the year.

Before you compare SEC and ACC, remember in 2006 Big 10 was ranked higher than SEC. Conference ranking only indicates the state of the conference, not the state of the best team in the conference. So, if Va Tech wins ACC championship, they should get a shot at the BCS title.
