Yeah, only when the team who has more points than the other team it's playing. Other than that, it means absolutely nothing in the National Championship Game.

5 straight National Championships, 4 different teams. SEC OWNS college football
Great defensive effort tonight by Auburn and Oregon but I'm glad Auburn pulled it out and held it down for the SEC
lol
a last second field goal to win translates to the SEC Owning college football.
If the SEC truly owned college football, we'd see some blowouts wins. IE, like more than two scores.
If anything, I think it highlights other teams/conferences are getting bettert, with the SEC still on the throne.
5 in a row, and 8-0 in BCS national championship games. Point differential means nothing. A win is a win, whether it's 1 point or 40.

Exactly. maybe if it was early in the season and you are trying to get those wins that will justify your position in the rankings but when its the National Championship game, that goes out the window. As long as you win, which the SEC does EVERYTIME it plays in the BCS title game, that is all that matters.
And who cares that it was a last second FG. That is not the reason why I'm saying the SEC is the most dominant conference. The reason why is also not because we have won 5 straight, although that should say something but it is because we have 4 DIFFERENT teams within our conference that has won the National Championship.
What 4 teams are going to help the Pac-10 now Pac-12 rattle off 5 straight? ......I'll wait........... What 4 teams in the Big 10 are going to help them rattle off 5 straight? ...... I'll wait again........ The SEC having 4 different champions in a matter of 5 years shows how dominant our conference is, not because we beat Oregon (just another victim) by 3 points with one of the worst defenses the SEC representative has had in a Championship game (Auburn ranked 58th ).
So yeah, I'd say we OWN college football
And for the record, I like Stanford but the reason Oregon was able to compete with Auburn was because they are the ONLY TEAM in the Pac-10 that can match the speed of the SEC. Stanford is very well coached (our very own) but they are not fast enough to play with the SEC. Auburn's front line is JUST AS physical as Stanford is PLUS they are faster so NO, they didn't deserve to play in that game, especially since they were outscored 49-10 after taking a huge lead vs Oregon

Eh if USC hadn't been hit with hella restrictions and they still had dumbass Pete Carrol they could compete with the SEC and would probably still be winning National Titles. Or if Texas hadn't lost Colt McCoy last year in the title game due to injury, I think they would've won. Garrett Gilbert sucks.

Well that game was a huge dissapointment. other than the last 5 minutes, really boring. I can't beleive I actually thought this would be different and the SEC would actually have a hard time. They just have superior defenses year in, year out. Fairly dominated like Suh against Texas last year. Neither QB impressed me at all.

Yep, the game was just not good. It was sloppy, turnovers all over the place, and just wasn't exciting.
As for the SEC, they're clearly the best conference in football. You can't argue with 5 straight championships. I just find it odd that some people will defend the conference like it's their favorite team...it's just a conference.

This has probably already been mentioned in this threads 28 pages but that loooong layoff had to hurt the offenses, neither looked real sharp. It's like how when the season starts & a coach will say the def. is ahead of the off. that clearly looked like the case last night. I do however believe the better more talented team did win.
