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.
