Nope. Writers love controversy, it's easier than having your own insights. You think a national semi-final played in the Sugar Bowl or Rose Bowl would struggle to sell out? Ohio State is in b/c the selection committee thought they were the fourth best team. And I'm from Texas and grew up SW conference / Big 12. Big 12 got the message. Expect two more teams to get to 12, and a conference championship very soon.
