Wisconsin has more wins and the same number of losses. Why aren’t they in?

Then go ahead and dig and find one thing to support your baseless claim.

Well we can agree to disagree on that.

But hey, they did not that day. On the redo he made a bunch.
You could say the same for any team on any day of a loss, ask FSU or Florida.

From that link
Performance on the field? Head to head wins? Strength of schedule? Conference championships? What got Alabama in?

The selection committee ranks the teams based on the members’ evaluation of the teams’ performance on the field, using conference championships won, strength of schedule, head-to-head results, and comparison of results against common opponents to decide among teams that are comparable.

I admittedly do not know the numbers to compare Bama and Wisconsins resumes. You may have a valid argument here though
I posted that less than 10 minutes ago.

Which is to put the BEST 4 teams in the playoff.
This is the current basically only criteria for their decision which is the only fact. I also disagree that's not the best single criteria to use when picking these teams. The best team doesn't always win the game it's supposed to. The current system allows for those to not matter under the guise of "well even though they lost they're still the best team."
It'd be like the NFL all of a sudden just putting the 1 and 2 seed in a play-in game for the right to go to the Super Bowl. There's a reason the games need to be played and matter before that.

Basically the problem most people have with the system is there is no evidence for the way they voted. And you have no way to tell how it is they came to the rankings they agreed on. And I just dont agree that Bama proved they were one of the best 4 teams. They played in a very weak SEC. Didnt have to play the best team from the other side and didnt beat the best team from their own side.

I think the problem most people have is that Bama is the team that's in the playoffs, and we are LSU fans. If LSU would be in Bamas spot, and be in, this would not even be a debate.

I dont think its as much of a case of Bama proving they were one of the 4 best teams, and rather a case of other teams proving they WERE NOT one of the 4 best teams.

It still stinks when u get end & didn't even win your conference championship!
Only Saban can get away with this shite!!!

If you can't win your division and conference that should matter.
so what happens if, in 2011 after our magical year beating all those elite teams, we lose at Bama 9-6 in OT instead of winning.
Would you have wanted us to get in the BCS championship game? Or no, because "we didn't win our division and conference"?
Be honest please.

We wouldnt of gotten the chance. And I usually take the result on the field to determine who was better.
Posted on 12/4/17 at 9:05 am to Hold That Tiger 10
Auburn beat them head to head and has a separate win against Georgia that’s better than any Alabama has, Ohio State has a better win and a conference championship, and Wisconsin has more wins and the same number of losses. I’d say all of these proved they had a better season than Alabama. So I’d say not just LSU fans see it as bullshite.

you're dodging the question. Would 2011 LSU, with a 9-6 loss to Bama, deserve to be in the BCS Championship game?
It's a yes or no question.

Clemson losing to Syracuse and Oklahoma losing to Iowa State are multitudes worse that Ohio State losing to iowa

No not really sure what it matters in this case considering we didnt win a NC that year 
Funny you bring that year up though. Considering we did beat the Pac-12 Champion and the Big East Champion while Bama beat Kent State, North Texas and Georgia Southern

again, you're inserting an issue that's irrelevant. Whether LSU won the 2011 NC doesn't matter. The question was whether we should've got into the BCS Championship game if we had LOST 9-6 at Bama, rather than won.
I'd argue we absolutely should've got in, given our big wins against numerous top teams in 2011, and our only loss would've been in OT, on the road, to (what would've been) no. 1 Bama.
Clearly we would've been a top 2 team, even though we wouldn't have won our division or conference.
