I feel whoever wins the Oregon vs indiana game wins the natty.

Would have loved to see any of the remaining teams advance to the championship, aside from Miami and mainly Mario.

You can now say it's been 4 years since the Southeastern Conference even had a team in the championship game

Oregon/Indiana vs. Miami
Ohio State vs. Notre Dame
Michigan vs. washington

crazy in hindsight how that first doink from Ole Miss stopped them from giving him a chance to win it at the end.

According to them the reason would be that they have such a grueling schedule they are worn out by the end.

Luckily, they've won 14 hypothetical championships in the last 3 years to make up for this drought.

Man, Miami DB's dropped more interceptions in that game than I have ever seen.

I really, really hope Dan vs Mario happens.

There was obvious pass interference on that last play. I can't believe it wasn't called.

I thought it was when I saw it, and it's being discussed on ESPN right now.

It wouldn't have put the ball on the 1 yard line like in the NFL, but it would have been a 15 yard penalty and gave Ol' Miss one more play.

I'm not saying that it cost them the game, but it still should have been called.

For what it's worth, Mississippi's offense did show how to play against the Miami defense. Miami got one sack the whole game on its way to giving up 27 points. The problem was Mississippi's defense.

Still... The greatest conference that ever was and ever will be, is suffering the indignity of being sidelined while the plebs play for the title for the 3rd year in a row.

Yes, but Ole Miss beat Tulane and another SEC team (Georgia)
Bama beat another SEC team (Georgia)
So, the only win in the playoffs they have against an out of conference opponent is Tulane on home turf. Way to go SEC!
