Barkley also echoed head coach Nick Saban's belief that the SEC champion - should Alabama upset No. 1 Georgia in the championship game - deserves to be in the College Football Playoff.

“There is no way in hell you can leave an SEC Champion out of the Playoff. If Alabama wins they deserve to go to the Playoff. I don’t wanna hear what Texas did to them 2 months ago…” Charles Barkley has spoken@AlabamaFTBL @GeorgiaFootball @CFBPlayoff @SEC pic.twitter.com/YF2g9EZbd9

Agree with Chuck. Alabama's loss shouldn't count and neither should Texas's.

Undefeated Texas and Alabama go to the CFP.

So let’s go back 12 months. If LSU, coming off a loss to Texas A&M and having 2 losses had beat UGA, would they have deserved to be in without debate over full body of work? That’s just fricking dumb

How is his opinion any more meaningful than anybody else’s?

He's 1000% correct.

If it’s down to a one loss Texas vs a one loss Alabama head to head easily solves it.

This isn't a hot take. A 1 loss SEC Champ is getting into the playoff and always has.

The controversy, the hot take, is what about UGA being a 1-loss non-champ?

In a scenario with 13-0 Washington, Michigan and FSU and 12-1 Alabama and Texas, the Alabama deserving gets left OUT of the playoff.

If it’s, 13-0 Michigan and FSU, and 12-1 Alabama, Texas and Oregon that is a completely different story as you are now comparing three teams for two spots. Texas beating Alabama doesn’t affect Oregon in that comparison.
