Bump Tulane and James Madison and put in Notre Dame and BYU or Vandy. I'm all fine with a Cinderella story, but neither of those teams will be competitive.

Lol why does it pain you? Alabama had a good season with some great wins, let them enjoy it. LSU is back on track now, that's all that matters.


Because we know that if this was LSU it would be a completely different story.

This system is silly wrong.

Trust me when I say this I'm not a Notre Dame fan by any means and I do believe the should be in a conference but they lost 2 games to playoff teams by a combined 4 points.Just something to think about.

I don't know how others aren't willing to admit this.

If LSU was in, but going to play in the SEC Championship knocked them out we would be upset. Especially when others didn't have to and got in.

[quote]They got in because of their name. For anyone else, a 14 point beatdown by a 5 loss team and total buttfricking in the SEC championship game with 3 total losses would have kept them out.[/quote

Alabamas losses just don’t matter like everyone else’s. The playoff committee isn’t concerned with anything but cashing in on name recognition and eyeballs for money. Notre Dane just lost the coin toss so Alabama got in.

Look I hate Bama as much as the next guy, but they should absolutely be in.

They beat UGA in their house on the road. It would be different if they had already lost to them.

And you’ll just allow ND and Miami to get a pass because they don’t have to play in a conference championship? You shouldn’t be penalized for having to play an e tra game.

We would be pissed if that was us and the committee left us out. Also going 11-1 in the Big 12 < going 10-2 in the SEC. BYU had the shite kicked out of them twice by the same team. They don’t deserve to be in.

What about BYU? They were in the CFP before playing the Big 12 championship game.


They got whipped by the same team TWICE. Why do they deserve a third shot? We already know they are not the best team.

The one thing committee got right is not punishing the SEC runner up... Outside of that it's a freaking joke. Give the g5 champs a big time bowl game at a premium TV Time but there's teams that could win it all sitting out for James Madison


So you’re telling this board that if it were any other SEC team in the same scenario as BAMA, the committee would put them in??

Bull_____!

Every team below the 6th or 7th ranked teams doesn’t matter. None of them can make a case that they are the best in college Football (remember that’s what the CFP system is really about) Alabama is irrelevant and so is ND. Their game is just for a few more hours of TV money.


OSU barely snuck in last year as the 8 seed and were playing their worst football of the season before the playoffs.

Under the current SEC setup with no divisions, UGA and Bama were in the SEC Championship game because they won the 4 team tie breaker. Unlike UGA, Ole Miss, and A&M, who only had 1 loss, Bama had 2 losses, including a very bad loss to FL State. Bama’s a** whipping in the SEC championship was their third loss and should have eliminated them from the playoffs.

If conference championship games don’t matter, then why did OSU drop from #1? You PLAYED, you LOST (badly in Bama’s case) you should DROP!
3-loss ‘Bama in is a joke. They got blown out by a 7-loss FSU team. They lost at home to OU. They split a series with Georgia but looked like trash the last two months. They should be left out by the same standard that got them in over undefeated FSU a few years ago.
The Bama Mulligan is real. Every fricking Year!

Yeah thats your Homer thinking. Or not doing your research. Had way more ranked wins than Notre damn. Infact I think ND has zero. Alabama was #1 regular season SEC team. Pretty easy decision.
