Once Again these "committees" screw things up..

Selection committees need to be given rules which make sense. Conference Champions being left out because someone's opinion is given more weight than actual results on the damn field is ridiculous.
To give a team a freebie for NOT winning their division nor playing in thier Conference Championship game while teams who accomplished more play for Conference Titles is wrong.
If a team loses their conference division and only has one loss then it should not be ellevated for NOT playing.
In Bama's case, they lost their biggest game of the year and dodged UGA as a result and are rewarded for it. It is just too stupid to take seriously. Rules need to be changed to stop this type of thing.

If LSU had one loss and was left out for a two loss Big 10 team that got blown out by Iowa this board would rightfully melt down.
frick Ohio State.
frick Alabama too but I’m not shedding a tear that Meyer got beat by the SEC even after running away from it

You are making it a personal issue. The fact is that conference titles and division titles should be respected by the committee. Otherwise, there is no reason to have a conference or a conference championship, or a conference championship game. They become meaningless.

Exactly. Everybody bitches and moans but if the shoe was on the other foot think Baton rouge would have imploded. Site would have crashed for sure.

LSU fans would be changing their narrative if they were in Bama shoes

The reality is LSU would have been left out and most other teams would have as well.
That is the point. It should not be at the discretion of some committee to basicly nullify conference standings and conference titles based on nothing but opinion.

Maybe they should be. But that isn’t a rule.
The committee followed the guidelines and judged Alabama to be a better team.
Given how awful Ohio State performed last year when the committee gave them the benefit of the doubt I don’t blame them one bit for taking the stability of the Alabama program to complete the final four.

The point of the thread is that rules should be changed. I already know what the rules are and they are wrong and bad for football.

Your argument mooted your own point. The results on the field were the reasons for the choices that were made. OSU got beat 2 times and blown out in one of those games by a mediocre Iowa team. The committee nailed it. Great teams can slip once. They don't get beat twice and blown out in the process.

Once again, this is about ratings on TV and little else. The gumps bring ratings more so than does OSU. Simple as that. The committee is a way to ensure that things can be maximally manipulated. Why are the conference championships played? For more money.
We live on the ill-founded structure of a false society that worships mammon.

Like it or not, they got it right, dude.
USC, Wisky or OSU aren't better than Bama.

Anyone using this line of logic for this years selection should be fired from the committee. Literally nothing that happened in any previous year should have any bearing on the next year. The teams are completely different.

Ok so if LSU was 11-1 they shouldn’t have been in the discussion for the playoffs cause they wouldn’t have won their division? bullshite this place would have melted

No actually the committee got it right and youre an idiot if you think otherwise. OSU lost twice with a combined lossed total of 46 frickin pts. But yea, they won the Big 10 so lets put them in over a one loss Bama team because the SEC west is so competitive and its almost impossible to run the table ever season. You want to make the playoffs? Dont lost twice and dont get blown out by 31 by a frickin 7-5 Iowa team. Colorado St was a 7-5 team that Bama crushed. Could you imagine if they would have lost to CO state by 31 along with the Auburn loss but somehow would have played in the SEC Championship game and won it. A 2 loss Bama SEC champ had no business being in the playoffs even though they would havw hypothetically "won their conference bruh, herp derp derp...".

calling this a playoff is a joke. They should just pick the 4 teams before the season starts. It’s not just this year. Ohio State got in this year but hosed Penn State last year.

No, they shouldn't. It would suck, but no team should compete for a Natty without winning its division.

I agree 100%.
Get rid of the damn committee and let the computer pick the top 4

Would take USC and OSU over Bama right now.

WTF does this even mean? So what 'Bama has done in years past is fodder to get them into the CFP? What a retarded statement. Wow.
