The differnce? The Playoff

Years past, they would have been hammered for having their annual letdown game against Arizona. They would have been left out in favor of FSU and Bama. They would have played OSU in the Rose Bowl and lost like they will in a week.

this is true.

The BCS would have left the Ducks out in the cold again this year. Ditto for Ohio State.

This is exactly why the playoff is a wonderful thing.

Sane people without an agenda should applaud what just happened.

It's too bad Baylor or TCU couldn't join in the fun but 6 doesn't fit into 4 and somebody is always going to get left out. It's a start dammit and I like it.

The SEC will get more teams, not less teams, into contention with a playoff. Precisely why Spurrier was an early proponent of a playoff when he was at Florida.
