However, I would have also been very content with winning the SEC and then going to the Sugar Bowl under the old BCS system. I hate this attitude that we have of "national championship or bust."
What in the name of participation trophy is going on here? Of course its national championship or bust. It should be. David Ortiz isn’t texting Derek Jeter to say “We’re better, we had more 5th place finishes than you!”

No, it shouldn't be. As an old school Alabama fan who came up before the advent of the BCS, the two things I cared about most in a given season were the following:
1) Beating Auburn
2) Winning the SEC title
Winning the national championship was definitely an added bonus but defeating the archrival and winning the conference always came before a national crown. Why? Because this began as a regional sport. Only in recent years has it become nationalized and emphasis has been placed on winning the national championship.
