Should? Depends on your definition. We should have beaten Alabama, but we didn’t. Injuries, a few terrible, game changing calls, lack of calls on Bama should have been overcome, but were not.

Bama losing to Texas almost made them a package deal. Texas’ loss was worse than our’s, but they couldn’t let Bama in without them.

From a pure should of the 4 best teams, there is no way Vegas would have us as a Dog to all 4 teams that made it…and if they truly want the 4 best teams, there is no better measurement.

much like bama is chained to texas, we are similarly chained to bama. There's no chance we get int he playoffs unless bama does too, and there's no chance bama gets in the playoff unless texas does too.

If people really want to hammer home the "best teams" argument, then are you really goign to kick out washington? Because it seems like it'd be michigan then those 3 that are tied at the hip as far as "best". And if you say "well no way, Washington is undefeated and has some great quality wins and a heisman candidate and they definitely desreve it" then who decides "best" and where is the line drawn?

I could live with yesterday's bullshite if that's how they did it every year. If you can anticipate bullshite coming because it's been that way annually then you can't really compalin when it actually happens. But the committee was 100% correct and oogical and rational for 9 years and did every single thing right and correct, then this yera just completely threw all of it out the window and did the exact fricking opposite. I still can't believe it. If I was a Florida state fan, or if we were soimehow in their shoes, I don't know how I'd function for a few days. I would probably get some very improper thoughts about retlatiatory action (but obviously not ever act on it)
