It really is. This "eyeball-test" BS is going to piss off the entire nation at some point, probably sooner than later.
Giving Bama a pass on their loss to OM because they pass the "eyeball test" is about as asinine as a hypothetical committee crowning USC the 2005 national champions because "well yeah Texas beat them, but it was only by 3 points. And they didn't have Reggie Bush in the game on 4th and 1. If they did, they probably would've gotten the first down and won the game. We just feel like they're still the best team."
The committee concept survived year 1 because the problem wasn't the inclusion of an undeserving team. It was that there was more than 4 deserving teams. I can't imagine what the revolt will look like when a team that is perceived by the country at large to be undeserving is selected.

Agreed. But let's be honest - Bama would probably be at least a 7-point favorite over Florida in a head to head.
