re: There's not much difference between 12-1 and 13-0

We lost to a literal playoff team. FSU didn't beat or even play anyone all year as good as Texas.

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.
