[QUOTE="jeffgt14, post: 376687, member: 1059"] I would make the same argument for Alabama if the situation was reversed. It has nothing to do with anti-Bama or anti-SEC. When the playoffs were first established I thought what they had was a solid foundation for selecting teams. My thought was they would pick the 4 best teams with a heavy weight on conference champions but with rules in place that allowed them to take someone else if a 4 or 5 loss team managed to win their conference. I disagree with the philosophy of picking the “4 best teams” because that’s not how sports works. Every game is different, certain teams matchup better against other teams, luck occurs, injuries occur, one player may catch fire (or vice versa) and completely alter the outcome of a game. These are the things that make sports fun (and agonizing). Due to the inequality of schedules for 12 games in college football, you need some rules in place to make sure some 8-4 team who hasn’t looked great all year but won a 3 way tiebreaker in their division somehow wins their conference doesn’t get in. I have a major problem with the committee continuing to utilize this eye test BS to justify why a 2 loss conference champion shouldn’t get in while a 1 loss team that sat at home should. [/QUOTE]
