re: Once Again these "committees" screw things up..

This is the second time in seven years Alabama has been selected to play for the championship without winning a conference championship. Remember 2011 when LSU had to replay Bama after winning against Bama at Bama.

Alabama only lost 1 game on the road. The game was close.

Ohio State lost two games: one by 31 points. and quite honestly should have lost to Penn State at home.

Alabama is better for ratings against Clemson than Ohio state.

Alabama is playoff experienced.
No one wants to see Clemson blow out ohio state.

Alabama would be favored over Ohio state on a neutral site.

Alabama was ranked fifth last week. Ohio state was eighth.

Copied my friends break down for you.
-Word of the day is DESERVE.
-I'm not bitter(like I said yesterday that some didn't read well) or salty or butt hurt.
-My two cents that I'm entitled to. I DESERVE it.
-Auburn got whipped yesterday plain and simple. No excuses. UGA DESERVED to win that game because they played better and wanted it more and their coaching staff was better prepared.
-Auburn DESERVED to beat two #1 teams in three weeks because they played out of their minds and hit a hot streak that unfortunately ended yesterday.
-If a tournament is to be held to determine an overall national champion shouldn't it's participants be some form of sub champion?
-Here is a list of the teams that DESERVE to be the top 4
1)Clemson
2)UGA
3)Oklahoma
4)Ohio State
-Here is a list of teams that DESERVE to be in the top 4 consideration also because why? They are said sub champions
1)USC
2)UCF(undefeated btw)
3)Boise State
-Here is a list of one loss teams that DESERVE to be considered for the top 4 because at least they played for their said sub championship
1)Wisconsin
-Where is BAMA? Oh yeah? They don't DESERVE to be in the top 4! They lost to the best team they played all year. They didn't even play in the SEC title game. HELL!! They aren't even champions of their own state for the next year.
-Is BAMA good enough for top 4 consideration? Absolutely. Do they DESERVE it? ABSOLUTELY NOT!
-But good ole deep throater of the media Dick Satan sure did change his tune about a non conference champion DESERVING a playoff spot from a year ago.
-Does the football playoff look like the BCS disguised just with more teams and controversy or is it me?
-I've said from day one and until I am blue in the face that it would take BAMA 2 loses to never get in the playoffs. Every year it will always be BAMA and the "other 3".
-6 team playoff. Plain and simple. Champion of the 5 Power Conferences(regardless of record) and a wild card with two first round byes.
-I can't wait to see who gets screwed. My money is on OSU even though they DESERVE to be in it and BAMA doesn't.
-Good enough vs. DESERVE.

It’s who you beat AND who you lose to. It was that way in 2011 and is that way this year.

The ESPN guys had no problem with OSU being knocked out of the title hame in 2011 cause they had a bad loss, but it’s a different story with them when Ohio St gets knocked out cause of a bad loss.

Go figure

?? your melt is showing. Perhaps the flaw is with the SEC set-up, and not the committee.

Maybe the East-West set up should be for regular season scheduling only and the SECCG be for the teams with the best records in the conference. Ideally, it would be an East-West matchup.

Not a BAMA fan, but let’s not pretend that they are not worthy of a top 4 spot. I don’t think a 2 loss TOS that beat an undefeated—yet really untested—Wisconsin team deserves to be there before a 1-loss BAMA team that lost to a highly ranked AU.

I don't see it that way at all. This is a playoff where the 4 best teams, according to the committee, are chosen. There's no rule that you have to win the conference to be selected and OSU proved that last year. Its all based on somewhat educated opinions. The committee had their opinion and we have ours.
IMO Bama was more deserving thb OSU. Bama lost to a top 5 school, OSU to a top 5 school and Iowa. One thing sticks out, Iowa. Also in what world of standings does a 2 loss team beat a 1 loss team when conference doesn't matter and the overall resumes are basically a wash? Both sides can be argued but I think they got it right

We were dealt a bad hand in 2011. shite like that happens sometimes.We had to beat Bama twice and they had to beat us but once. I don’t know if there was a college program in the country that year who could’ve beat Bama twice in the same year. Hell, we were the only team who could beat them even once.

Not being happy with the fact we had to play one of the finest college football teams I’ve seen in the past 20 years twice in the same season, doesn’t make us pussies.

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? Bull shite this place would have melted

But they wouldn't be, though. And you know they wouldn't.

Honestly, if the conference championships are meaningless, then stop playing them and replace those games with a defacto playoff of the power five leaders and three at large teams to determine the final four. No additional games will need to be played, and every eligible team will have to earn their way in instead of sitting on a sofa hoping someone loses their way out.
