How does Texas jump from 7 to 3 based on beating a trash Ok St team? There's no logic. Simply beating Alabama shouldn't trump everything else. It's insanity.
Bama had a reason to jump from 8 to 4. Just beat no. 1 UGA.
The committee basically said "screw it". Let's just put the best 4 in forreal this time. FSU QB is hurt and we don't want to leave out Texas because they beat Bama.
I'm not even saying the committee is wrong I just don't get why everyone thinks Bama is the team that should have been left out. The only reason anyone would think that just hates Bama. Admit it. That's your "reasoning". Alabama is one of the teams that earned it on the field.

It's insanity.
If a team goes to the playoffs, the share is in the neighborhood of 70 million.
The Orange Bowl share is 14 million.
Leaving an undefeated P5 team out amounts to a screw job of "historic" proportions. Every knowledgeable college football fan across the entire nation knows it.

In a way, I’m glad this happened to further prove a larger playoff is necessary. This year, I believe there are 6 top tier teams who can win a Natty, then there is everyone else.

I also think people “assume” Bama should have been left out because:
- lost by 10 at home
- barely beat 6-6 South Florida
- Struggled against 1-7 conference record Arkansas
- needed a 4th & 31 “luck” play to beat mediocre Auburn
Having said that, I believe Bama is by far the most improved team in CFB.

Well, by your logic, shouldn't Texas jump even HIGHER since they beat a bama team that beat uga??

Because they beat Bama at Bama.
We all know had UGA won the SEC, FSU would have unquestionably been #4 and in the Playoff. But the committee wanted an SEC team in so in order to justify moving Bama up, they had to also move up Texas.
That’s why the committee and the ESPN talking heads are such frauds. They’ll act like Texas is clearly better than FSU but had a different game not involving either team gone the opposite way, they would be saying something different.
Committees suck.
