re: Saban thoughts on the playoffs

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.
