Homerism aside, if the job of the committee is to identify the "best" team(s), why is BAMA #5 when we all know that we would be favored on a neutral field over all 4 in front of us. Shouldn't the #1 team be favored over everyone else on the list? And #2 over everyone but #1?

What am I missing here?

And, yes, I understand that betting lines are to get equal bets across both teams but #5 an 8.5 pt favorite over #1, really?

who said that? by taking the computers away and inserting a committee everything becomes subjective. ALL people have bias. and now there is a probability of an agenda that has nothing to do with crowning the best team in the country out of the "best" 4. what, oh what could that agenda be you ask?

I have said all along and I still do; the scenario this committee will be looking for is to find 4 teams from 4 different regions to play 2 games that generate the most money possible. the way to generate the most money is to generate the most interest on a national scale. the ACC and the SEC represent the same region and that is where the screwing will happen. there isn't a way in hell 2 SEC teams make it in and it is entirely possible that an SEC completely gets shut out. if the east champ wins the title, this national playoff will not contain an SEC team. at least with FSU in the mix.
