Comparing football and hoop is a fools errand. There is significantly more variance in hoop than football. Almost every time the best team has won football. It’s actually rare that occurs in hoop.
When you look at the bubble in hoop, you are taking about crap teams. In football this year, I think it’s fair to say bama would have been one of the betting favorites. It’s just unfair to the SEC, if the goal is to determine who the best team is. I don’t think that’s actually the exercise for football anymore. It’s just a money grab at this point.
