Which 4 teams do you honestly believe should have gone?
1. Georgia
2. Michigan
3. Ohio State
4. Alabama
Those were the best four teams last year, Michigan's loss to TCU in the playoffs notwithstanding.

Why Alabama instead of Tennessee?
How can you say Alabama was better than LSU or Tennessee?
I am not trying to get Alabama fans wired up. I am honestly trying to understand the reasoning, of why y'all think you should have jumped two teams into the playoffs that beat you.
Yes. You lost close games, but some of the games you won were just as close.
Texas lost 5 games and you beat them by 1 point with their starting QB was out.
A&M lost 7 games and Alabama beat them by 4 points.
Ole Miss lost 4 games and you beat them by 6.
You can make the argument that the games you struggled in (except for A&M) were road games, but the playoffs would have been on the road, too.
No troll intended, but I just don't think Alabama was one of the best 4 teams. We jumped on TCU early and they just melted. If we had not done that, who knows? They managed to beat some good teams badly. I mean, TCU beat Texas by 7 and they were playing at Texas.

If we are not going to let wins and losses matter then why do we play the regular season?

I'll take it a step further. Why Bama over other 2 loss teams? Bama ended up with 2 losses and a bowl win, but what about Tulane? They ended up with 2 losses and took down USC and their Heisman trophy winning QB. What about Penn St? They ended up with 2 losses and thumped a pretty stout Utah team in the bowl? Why would these not get equal consideration? Bama had 2 very competitive games in the regular season against UT and LSU...and lost them both.
