I'm okay with Ohio State being left out but I don't want to see another SEC conference game.
NEW ORLEANS -- Alabama loved a rematch. Not so much of the rest of the country.
It turns out most television viewers didn't want to see Alabama-LSU again, at least not an uncompetitive rematch.
Final ratings for Alabama's 21-0 victory over LSU were the third lowest for a national championship in the 14-year history of the BCS. The All-SEC affair, the first championship pairing teams from the same conference, drew a 14.0 rating on ESPN. The lowest ratings were a 13.7 for USC-Oklahoma in 2005 and a 13.8 for
Alabama-LSU produces third-lowest TV rating for national championship in BCS era

Except that an Alabama-Georgia matchup wouldn't be a rematch.
They haven't played each other in like a generation.
Or since 2015 when Georgia was favored and Alabama won 38-10.

Interestingly, the three lowest overnight ratings for the BCS Championship Game occurred in a year when there was some controversy over the participating teams. The previous low (14.3), in 2002, featured Nebraska, which didn't win its conference. LSU's win over Oklahoma in 2004 featured a Sooners team that didn't win its conference.
I think Oklahoma is gonna run the table. The Clemson Bama matchup is entertaining as fuck. UGA Bama haven't played each other so it would be a fresh game (Dawgs get whipped badly tho)I'm okay with Ohio State being left out but I don't want to see another SEC conference game.
