Please do. I agree with everything you've said especially the part where if Okie St was replaced by OU last year there is no rematch. I think the same thing holds true if you'd replaced Alabama with Arkansas.

Bingo.

It is not hard to figure it out. Every long time college football fan knows what teams are entitled and which ones aren't. There is even a ranking among the media darlings as well, but that often doesn't come into play, like my example last year if OU or UT wins the big 12.

Just wait until the four team playoff starts. It will be hilarious watching ESPN cram 2-3 media darlings in the final four every year. It is going to basically be a Mulligan round robin for schools like Bama, USC, ND, etc. Remember, all the media darlings have to do now is finish in third place in their conference to qualify. Lose your biggest game at home to a divisional rival? No big deal. Winning conference championships is for those lesser schools to accomplish.
