I was watching college football back then. That is why I am bringing it up. That is not true. Pretty much any SEC team that ran the table this year would have ended up being the number 1 or 2 seed at worst because they had to run the SEC gauntlet. In the early 2000s that didn't hold as much weight because the conf was weaker. We were talking about undefeated teams. Not 1 loss teams. 1 loss teams are hard to discuss in this debate because when you lose plays a large part in seeding. That said the SEC was so good last year they ended up with 2 SEC teams in the NC.
That's just not true. Kentucky would not have been #1 if undefeated. They would not have jumped an undefeated Clemson team. No way. And that's the point you're trying to make, although you're backing away now saying #1 or #2. That wasn't your original statement.
The "when they lose" argument is stupid also because Alabama lost their last game and still got in. The rankings are heavily based on the overall strength of the program over time.
