I understand where you are coming from, but if the two best teams are in the same conference why shouldn't it happen? This wouldn't even be an issue if other teams would've done what they were supposed to do. A handful of teams have had a MUCH easier road to get to where LSU & Alabama are at right now and couldn't cut it.
As long as it is not a requirement for every conference to have a championship game, I don't think not winning your conference should be a disqualification. It much too easy for these teams who do not have to play one. I've griped for years that everyone should be required to play their 12 games in the first 13 weeks. Conference that don't have a championship game should not be rewarded with and extra bye week.
I'm an LSU grad, but I am an OSU fan aswell since my father and rest of my family went there. My dad was actually at the K-State a few weeks ago. I was greatly disappointed with OSUs loss on Friday. Especially, how they just completely choked and quit playing late in the game. As much as I was pulling for them, I felt like they had a very easy path to the National Championship game. They didn't seize the opportunity so you got to move down the list.
