He won the title but yet his win isn't legit. Yeah makes sense.
With your logic the Giants were not true Superbowl champions when they beat the undefeated Patriots team .
So I take it you believe UM should hoist the banner that says
Miami Hurricanes 2012 ACC Coastal Champions
Al Golden winning at acc coastal while under sanctions? Thats gotta be a top highlight for the program over the last 15 years.
As for legitimate or illegitimate, you are correct. I shouldnt say 2020 isn't legitimate. It is legitimate but doesn't impress me.
The Giants beat everyone they needed to beat according to the NFL division rules at the time and got into the playoffs (I think as a wildcard, maybe I'm wrong) , then beat a New England team many people were claiming was the best of all time.
The Ducks did not beat everyone they had to beat in 2020 to win the division title. The Pac12 North title rightly belonged to Washington. They could not play because of COVID. If Washington is healthy, the Ducks aren't in the championship game. That's not conjecture it's a fact. When the regular season ended, UW was the Pac12 North champs. Then the Ducks, who got into the conference title game because UW couldn't field enough players, beat a mediocre USC team that fired its HC 2 games into the following season.
Now if you are impressed by that, fine by me. But if you think that conference title proved Cristobal is a good coach, then we have very different standards of performance.
