Who is going to be co-champs tonight?
I think Alabama wins and gets Saban a co-championship with UCF
Hurts will have a great game, he is underrated
Alabama 31
Georgia 12

I love this whole UCF "co-champion" pablum.
CLAIMING something to be doesn't make it so, UCF.
Maybe I should claim to be the King of England, under UCF thinking, that would make me the monarch.
You may all refer to me as Your Highness from here on.....

RE: Who is going to be co-champs tonight?
As I understand it, the CFP is an agreed-upon (even if contested) system to determine a national champion. There should either be a legitimate way for non-power school to contend for the national title or else there should be a third subdivision in Division I football.
That being said, there are schools that claim more national championships that they should actually claim. Let's take a look at Alabama, who claims 16 such national championships:
Legitimate claims: 1925, 1926, 1930, 1934, 1961, 1965, 1978, 1979, 1992, 2009, 2011, 2012, 2015
Illegitimate claims: 1941 (went into bowl game as #20!!), 1964 (lost Orange Bowl, Arkansas was undefeated and won Cotton Bowl), 1973 (lost Sugar Bowl to undefeated Notre Dame)
That's 3 claimed national titles that would not hold up in court lol

I thought Illegitimate and G5 meant the same thing.
