We lost to a literal playoff team. FSU didn't beat or even play anyone all year as good as Texas.
I did feel bad for FSU because I felt Texas should have been the team left out. You can't build an entire format and playoff based on one non conf head to head matchup. Texas' resume doesn't stack up outside of that one Bama win. They lost to OU. The only team worth a damn in their conf.
Bama earned their way in. Be mad at someone else. Be mad at Michigan. They had a 2 game schedule.

True, but Texas jumping everyone is just as much of a headscratcher.
If we ran this process at varying points in time throughout the season, neither Alabama nor Texas would merit inclusion. I can't imagine any of those voters interested in Bama after the Iron Bowl. I can't imagine any of those voters interested in Texas after they were saved from a near loss against Houston by incompetent refs and then barely squeaked by TCU and K-State.
It all boiled down to a bunch of 70 year old dudes sitting around a conference room and reviewing the last few weeks of tape and then citing vague, qualitative and often conflicting rules to justify their random choices.
No one should think it is smart or correct or right or insightful or clever or whatever.
Thank Goodness the whole thing is being shut down next year.

So Texas should've been the team left out? How in the frick do you figure that? He have pretty close strength of scheduling. We both won conference championship, and what else is in the criteria, what is it. I can't put my finger on it. Oh yea it's head to head. We beat you. So please state your case as to why bama deserves to go before Texas does.
