re: Same Scenario Next Year With a Four Team Playoff...

This is tough because let's say ASU beats Stanford next week. I have a hard time saying ASU should be in that playoff over Bama. But, if they want conference champions only, that's fine.

And I agree with what you are saying 100%. Bama should go. Without a doubt. But it is how they are getting there, especially when you consider scheduling advantages on top of the scenarios I listed on the OP. You can't have double standards like that for those teams. Look at OSU this year. That's a pathetic joke.
