The problem that every has is the assumption that Alabama is better with one loss than teams who beat them and/or have one loss or no losses.

If Alabama beats, oh, I don't know, say, LSU and goes 12-0 and LSU goes 11-1 and LSU makes it in because there is an assumption that LSU is just as good, if not better than Alabama, then we will see some objectivity. But, that isn't what happens.

My choice would be that we only have conference champions in the playoffs. Alabama fans are afraid of that requirement because they have only won 2 SEC titles since 2000.

And that's why you're a dumbass. The only point in a playoff is to get the best teams in, NOT to reward an inferior team for winning an inferior conference.

and you can book it the "committee" will agree with you. every non-sec person in America would rather the sec have to earn their nc in a playoff. the 4 finalists will all come from different conferences in every year that it can be construed to be "fair" to the college football landscape. I think it a stretch that 2 teams from the same conference will get thru that committee.

If you're scared, get a dog!.....and y'all should be. Just ask LSU and Fla. what it's like playing them twice in a season. This proves that your know that Alabama is truly the better team or you wouldn't be scared to play them twice.

You're obviously used to hearing this, but your opinion doesn't matter.
