    And to add the field was smaller then as well
    No, the field was 68 teams then. You do have a good point with the East/West split, but Alabama's SOS was what kept them out, and we have SOS issues this year.

    That's not a comparable situation at all. They didn't take several West teams over Alabama with worse conference record, and those were the only teams with comparable conference schedules to compare.

    Not saying they won't do it now because I have no clue, but the overall conference records between east and west teams were pretty meaningless to compare in that year because of the disparity in the quality of the divisions. The SEC conference schedules are still not identical now, but in most cases, they are going to be pretty similar, and provide a reasonable method of comparison, unless the Committee just makes a conscious decision not to make that comparison.
