This is the main reason a National College Football Tournament should include each conferences champion. You could have at large invites, but if there are 16 or fewer teams no conference should have more than 2 teams in the tournament. This would take away the talking heads importance and is why most of them are against it. After 1 year of this tournament most people will only ask why didn't this happen sooner.

How fun would it be to watch Alabama vs. Sun Belt Champion?

While I do agree they need to apply a more fair selection process...Participation trophies are not the answer.

Who wants to watch a week a wasted football...for the top 3 teams in the country.

As much fun as LSU vs Oklahoma this year?
Every once in a while, it would be a good game.
But every tourney will have some first round blowouts.

There are going to be years that the champions of lesser conferences just aren't very good. Heck we couldn't matchup against PSU up front on defense. All Penn State had to do is not get cute and hand the ball off.

In basketball there can always be a miracle night from a player a 2 that makes it very interesting...Football is a team game and it would take one hell of a game plan to overcome the massive talent deficits some of these teams would face

It happens every year, though (Tennessee/Georgia St). Where the talent gap really stands out is with depth. A Sun Belt champ probably couldn’t survive an SEC season, but one game? Who knows. Odds aren’t in their favor, but they aren’t impossible odds.
