re: If PSU and OSU were reversed?

Yes, and go lose to Urban or Saban like 10 of the last 13 NC runner ups have.

I think I made that number up, so forgive me for that. But the you catch my drift. It is hard as shite to win a NC for 97% of the teams out there. Impossible for most.

You unknowingly proved my point. When was the last time a team won the Super Bowl back to back? I don't remember honestly. The last time a team won the natty back to back in college? Multiple instances in the last 20 years.

Bill Belichick, arguably one of the best coaches in football history, hasn't won a Super Bowl back to back if I recall correctly, and he has who appears to be tGOAT QB.

Saban trotted out Blake Sims and won a natty. He also won 2011 and 2012 with an above average game manager at QB.

Urban trotted out a 3rd string QB and won a natty.

AU went to the natty with a converted DB at QB, although they didn't win.

On another note, all you really need in CFB to get by is a decent QB to make the offense above average or mediocre and offset by defense and a decent to good defense.

That kind of shite doesn't happen in the NFL due to parity's existence. If you don't have an elite offense/defense or a combo of good offense/defense, your arse isn't winning the Super Bowl.

The 97% number is also highly skewed due to the vast majority of CFB being irrelevant in the natty picture. The SEC hasn't sent a different rep to compete for it all other than UA or AU since 2011.
