You say this like TCU didn't have to beat a Michigan team in the playoffs to make it to the Championship game. Same Michigan team that beat Ohio State the game prior.

And we didn't just beat them. We beat them worse than any team has ever been beaten in the entire history of the college bowl system. We beat them worse than Alabama has beaten any team in any bowl game Alabama has ever played in.

This was after a playoff in which TCU earned the right to be there. Something Alabama failed to do because Alabama wasn't good enough last year.

You know this, it just hurts you to acknowledge it.

Which is a weird way of saying "0-2".

Most people don't use records like that unless they include the time frame/number of games played. Like "9-3 in their last 12" when the other caveats could lead to additional games.

In other words, the original criteria were:
Alabama, being coached by Saban
Georgia, being coached by Smart

That's weird... when I have made the case that Alabama should have been in the playoffs?

There's a difference between "most deserving" and "best opponent." The best opponent for Georgia was Ohio State who, without a conference championship, was the least deserving team out of the 4 to be in there.

TCU deserved their spot; but just like a conference champ in the NCAA tournament with a high seed losing by round 2 doesn't suddenly mean they didn't "deserve" it. No one is making the claim of "deserves" or "doesn't deserve."
