All losses aren't the same. TCU barely lost in OT. USC got stomped. Tenn didn't drop far for losing @ #1 UGA, but dropped more due to getting stomped by unranked, multi-loss S Carolina. The extent a team drops due to a loss also depends on which other teams in the field deserve to be ranked higher.

This was done politically for the Big 10, which was shite this year.


TCU was in regardless of the outcome of their game. So at that point it was about matchups based on the seeds and they did want a rematch of a game from the week prior.

Essentially, USC was punished for the Big10’s benefit while TCU wasn’t


USC ended up with 2 losses where TCU only had 1 loss while keeping it close.

However, the teams ahead of us that needed to lose


Did the committee come out say that? I do not recall it outside of some media(most did not) and fans speculating UA would get in.

There’s no “official” way in, that’s why there is a committee. And plenty of people said that if those two teams lost we would be in. Even CBS said that yesterday during the SEC championship.
Talking heads said both would have to lose for Bama to get in, but there was no guarantee. TCU barely lost and had beaten KSU during the season. All things considered, the committee has gotten it right.

If Bama had some bigger wins, I think the case could’ve been made but that’s just not the way it worked out. We didn’t deserve to be in and were hoping for mass chaos to happen and then back in. Not only would there have been a bunch of backlash for TCU losing their spot because they played in a championship game, it also would’ve been a shite show from Tennessee, Clemson, and USC fans. The clean thing for the committee to do was to keep TCU in. They should’ve dropped to 4th but it is what it is.

Now if TCU would’ve gotten run out of the stadium yesterday (which I think was about to happen until KSU fumbled that punt), I believe we would’ve gotten in.
