re: Why does Bama get a Mulligan?

I didn't realize there were actual real people that didn't believe in Bama's claim as a top 4 team after this past weekend.

God how I have missed this.

I think there needs to be a clear distinction and definition in the committee's job description. Are they deciding the 4 best teams in the country or the 4 most deserving teams? I think it should be the later to try to remove as much subjectivity as possible.

If it was the later, Bama does not deserve to be in. If you ask me if they're one of the 4 best teams, I'd probably agree with you. I don't think they've played a single really good team this season, though. The SEC is as down as they've ever been. Everyone in that conference sucks outside of Bama.

I'm not sure which of the likely playoff teams will be the most "tested" by season's end. Probably the Big 12's team. Bama's road this year has been pretty easy, not the normal brutal SEC haul IMO.
