Sun Belt to stage championship game

[jcstewart]

Wasn't there a huge upset a few years back in the Houston -S Miss game---Didn't this cost the favorite big time???

UH was bound for a BCS bowl if they could beat S Miss at home. S Miss won and were sent to the Hawaii Bowl as a parting gift if I recall correctly.

I think we would all have a blast hosting a CCG at Cajun Field. As for all the ramifications of whether you win or lose it, well that's college football. As T pointed out earlier in this thread, a title game sponsor and broadcast partner needs to come into focus. At least the conference has a couple years to figure it out.

Let me put it to you this way, if the occasion occurs that a SBC team miraculously finishes the season undefeated and ranked but loses to the lower RPI team in the championship game, how does that help the SBC or that program? There is only one slot for the highest ranked G5 team to play, the SBC is not the SEC that can afford to have a team lose in the championship game and still play in the NCAA Playoffs. On it's face a championship game is a great concept, but there are consequences financially and when it comes to the G5 slot.

similar to the 1992 season. alabama was rolling to the bcs championship game when it got a huge scare by florida in the inaugural sec championship game. had florida won, the post-season scenario would have been turned upside down. you had the top-ranked team almost losing to a lower rpi team. of course, bama won and went on to win their last bcs championship...until nick saban arrived.
