re: If you can't win your division or conference, you can't be "National" Champion

All the people arguing Bama should be allowed in, also logically have to argue that we should just eliminate all conference championship games.

No. You'd have a point if the argument was that Bama should get in at the expense of the SEC Champ. No one is making that argument.

Either conf champion means something, or it doesn’t.

Conference titles mean something. They don't mean everything.

Not true. If Penn State last year and Ohio State this year didn’t get to play in a conference championship, then they wouldn’t even have an argument of getting in. In allowing a conference championship game you run the risk of one of your teams losing a shot at a nattie (Tennessee when LSU knocked them out) and you get the potential reward of a championship game bolstering your teams resume (2014 Ohio State)
