you're missing ole miss and FSU

Alabama is 5-1 against p5 with a winning record. Wisconsin is 3-1. Ohio state is 4-2. If anything it makes it more clear

Strength of record for Alabama is higher. Also advanced stats almost unanimously favor Alabama.

Big east had 3 teams in final four a few years back. Is that a problem or a conference Strength? ACC almost always plays itself in the football and lacrosse championships. Sometimes the best teams come from the better leagues those years

Unfortunately you have to consider the entire season and not just the wins. Ohio state losing twice is what killed them. Losing once is an accident losing twice isn't. My argument the whole time has been good wins and no bad losses. UCF has much fewer good wins than everyone so they aren't in...

Oklahoma state shouldn't have lost and that kills me as a fan of that team. They got the two best teams in and that's all that matters.

They also have the 4th ranked Strength of Record (Ohio state is 6th and UCF was in the teens) so yes they did beat somebody

LSU is good. Mississippi state was good until they lost their QB. FSU was good until they lost their QB. Fresno state was decent. Texas A and M was decent. They also looked good the entire season.

2011. 4 is better than 2 and not all conferences are made equal

Stop quoting bad statistics. Almost all stats used in the BCS bowls have them as a worse SOS and worse SoR. They ain't played nobody pawlllll Conf champs don't matter unless it's a tie breaker

Read the actual selection criteria. They choose the best four teams using stats, polls, then use the four things everyone keeps quoting as the secondary tie breaker. They didn't ignore SoS as it's Strength of record that matters and all strength of record stats say bama is better this year and...

Inverse question to the board. Why should Ohio state be the first 2 loss national champion?

https://www.sbnation.com/college-football/2017/12/3/16730324/alabama-ohio-state-college-football-playoff-compared It's not making up statistics when the majority of statistics favor Alabama.

Standard: do they have one loss and not lose by 30 points? Worked last two years. What's your standard?

Better than deciding which 2 make the BCS game

It is. Penn state lost by almost 40 to Michigan though. 1 loss isn't better than 2. Ohio states schedule is tougher due to them playing Oklahoma and FSU losing 13 players to injuries this season. FSU played better as the year progresses but the game against Alabama was to pyhrricc to really...

Helped Ohio state in 2014 and uga this year. Otherwise would have been left out. Also was the only way for Wisconsin to stay in. Ohio state has better marquee wins, but their schedule was way worse than alabamas at its core and it's hard to say you have a better body of work when you lose by...

1. Bama is currently favored right now over Clemson 2. Conf champs only ever mattered as a tie breaker 3. Ohio state snuck in over Penn state last year. They had a better complete body of work relative to penn state and got in. Twice now that's happened. It's precedent and it's literally in...

Computer rankings would have liked bama less if they lost by 30. Committee looks at computer rankings. Most CPU polls and both human ones have them in. No point in arguin hypotheticals when bama hasn't lost by over 30 to an unranked team in nearly 98 years

nah its just beat as many good teams as possible and look good doing it. No such thing as quality losses just quality win and bad losses. Get quality wins dont get bad losses. Wins over bad teams are on roughly on par with a loss. If you lose, hope you play them again (2014 Oregon, 2017 uga)
