I think the 4 best teams are probably Michigan, Washington, Texas, and Alabama
But you know what? I also thought, like everyone else, that Oregon was clearly better than Washington, even though Oregon had one loss and Washington had 0
Oregon were 10pt Vegas favorites actually
And they lost
You play the games for a reason, and saying “no we’re pretty sure Alabama is better” is just not a justifiable conclusion

the question has been answered if it's who is more deserving and who are the "best" teams.
a TV show made a decision to try to avoid blowouts. they want competitive games and they felt like FSU's QB situation would not make them competitive against other top teams. I wish they would have come out and said that but they started talking about SOR and SOS.

The SEC championship will possibly be detrimental to SEC teams moving into the 12 team format.... Conference championships will not mean much, as the majority of the 12 teams will not be conference champions. I can envision multiple scenarios where an additional loss would remove a potential SEC team from consideration.
Its been a minute since the SEC was not harder to win than the Natty. Its been even longer since winning the SEC was not at least as hard to win as winning the Natty. The success that Alabama has had in the SEC CG is the truly remarkable thing that Saban has been able to accomplish, the bastard LOL. Getting a bye by winning the SEC is a BIG deal but losing the SEC will almost certainly eliminate a team from the SEC which is certainly one of the 12 best in the nation. It is hard to imagine a scenario where at least 3 SEC teams aren't among the 12 best but it is not hard to imagine the SEC getting 2 teams in the 12 team playoff some seasons.

The committee wanted Bama and the west coast so they voted for their desired result instead. Texas just happened to be on the Bama train.
Whether they wanted Bama or not Bama earned their way in. I think Texas, FSU, Ohio State or UGA would have been acceptable but Bama is the best team left standing.

UGA went into ATL knowing it was a quarter final and still played a bad game, so being knocked out is what it is. And lots of credit to bama for creating that bad game for UGA.
That being said, I can't see how the committee can look at this season's full body of work, see UGA and BAMA have 4 common opponents with very lopsided margins of victory, then look at the SECCG where Bama played very well and UGA didn't but still only loses by 3 and think that UGA is not a top 4 team.

Georgia should not be in due to their weak arse garbage schedule this season. They played 9 home games in the state of Georgia for crying out loud
