Again though, is it the best 4 teams or the teams with he best resume with one loss or less?
Never has a team losing on the final weekend not dropped. This was done politically for the Big 10, which was shite this year. If they want it this way, then don’t release any rankings until the final weekend and make stipulations that more than one loss need not apply, regardless of shitty conference or schedule.
Essentially, USC was punished for the Big10’s benefit while TCU wasn’t, which was again for the Big 10’s benefit. if y’all can’t see this, then whatever.
Did Bama screw themselves this year? Yep. However, the teams ahead of us that needed to lose (and there were a shite ton) all did. This has always resulted in dropping spots. Always. This year it did until the final TCU shoe dropped and then the rules changed. That’s why I’m pissed.

All losses aren't the same. TCU barely lost in OT. USC got stomped. Tenn didn't drop far for losing @ #1 UGA, but dropped more due to getting stomped by unranked, multi-loss S Carolina. The extent a team drops due to a loss also depends on which other teams in the field deserve to be ranked higher.

TCU was in regardless of the outcome of their game. So at that point it was about matchups based on the seeds and they did want a rematch of a game from the week prior.

USC ended up with 2 losses where TCU only had 1 loss while keeping it close.

Did the committee come out say that? I do not recall it outside of some media(most did not) and fans speculating UA would get in.

quote:Talking heads said both would have to lose for Bama to get in, but there was no guarantee. TCU barely lost and had beaten KSU during the season. All things considered, the committee has gotten it right.
There’s no “official” way in, that’s why there is a committee. And plenty of people said that if those two teams lost we would be in. Even CBS said that yesterday during the SEC championship.

All losses aren’t the same? That I agree with. A TCU loss dropped them zero places, which has never happened in history.
OSU got drubbed by Michigan but 22 on their home field and they move up without even playing. TCU doesn’t move so the big 10 has 2 semifinal games and the possibility to guarantee themselves a title.
I’m not saying we absolutely deserved to be in, but given the way rankings have always worked, there were definite irregularities with the selection process this year that have never before happened.
Have any of you actually read the list of committee members and their conference affiliation? It’s no wonder the results came out this way once you see the list.

If Bama had some bigger wins, I think the case could’ve been made but that’s just not the way it worked out. We didn’t deserve to be in and were hoping for mass chaos to happen and then back in. Not only would there have been a bunch of backlash for TCU losing their spot because they played in a championship game, it also would’ve been a shite show from Tennessee, Clemson, and USC fans. The clean thing for the committee to do was to keep TCU in. They should’ve dropped to 4th but it is what it is.
Now if TCU would’ve gotten run out of the stadium yesterday (which I think was about to happen until KSU fumbled that punt), I believe we would’ve gotten in.
