I don't give A shite... OSU deserves to be left out after what happened last year.... It would only be fair.... I really don't think Bama should make it either, but I would rather OSU be left out just because their fans are the WORST HOMERS anywhere....

I think there will be a legit debate. Yes, the SEC had 3 teams in the mix going into yesterday, but most of the rest of the conference is garbage. More outright bad teams than I can ever remember.

So Alabama's best win is over a 9-3 LSU team. That will be discussed and it will be a factor and IMHO there will be a significant debate.

If we’re talking Eye Tests, Auburn has a more impressive resume than Alabama. Auburn played 3 games against the top five and was rewarded by having to come back and play one of those teams again for the conference championship. Bama lost their only game against the top five team they played and was rewarded by sitting at home not worrying about playing themselves out of a championship.

It’s disgusting that this shite might happen again.

As they should.

Committee told us last week that Bama and OSU were comparable then Auburn/Fresno lost and OSU beat a top 10 team to win a championship.

If you put Bama in this year, the committee would be penalizing two teams(Wisky, auburn) for playing while Bama sat home


This. fricking this. If there weren't conference title games, Auburn and Wisky would be in the playoff.

OSU had to play an extra game and came out successful. Bama shouldn't get a mulligan because other teams had to play and they didnt.

They are awful and Ohio struggled to beat them. And they got obliterated by an equally as awful Iowa team.

It’s a debate because neither of these teams deserve to be in the playoff, AT ALL, but due to our idiotic svnchofant sports media and biased playoff committee, one of them will get in.

The answer is right in front of all of us: put neither of them in. There is only one undefeated team in all of college football. Heck the AAC was arguably better than the Pac 10 and Big 10 this year! Put in UCF!

Last year has nothing to do with this year, you idiot. This isn’t a court of Law where precedent must be followed.

Clemson - AL Part III makes for better TV ratings too.
AL has a horrible resume this season.

tOSU has 3 top 10 wins last year and their only loss was by 3 points and not 12

They also got in over their own conference champion not another conferences.

Bana’s Best win is a three loss LSU that’s only win of value was Auburn.

Bama has 3 wins vs P5 teams with winning records and only 10 FBS wins. tOSU didn’t have an Fcs win last season or this one.

Of course bama will get in, they don't deserve to but will get the bama bias. No top 15 wins, no division title, no conference title. Its the bama way.

Good news is they will be gone after the first game.
