In 2017, Auburn and Wisconsin were both firmly in the playoffs in the rankings going into their respective champ game. They both lost and the committee penalized both of them for losing and allowed another team who sat at home and didn’t play at all to leap from them

I’m sure yall can link me to all the bama fans protesting the injustice. Thanks in advance

That schedule was brutal. In 4 weeks we played Georgia, then Alabama and then Georgia again in the SECCG.

Crazy stuff that year. Auburn getting trounced in the SECCG and Wisconsin only losing the BIG 10 game. I thought Ohio State should have got the last spot myself for having the best wins resume and for being a conference champion which Bama wasnt.

Auburn was the best team in the SEC that year. Such BS. Our losses were against Clemson, fluke LSU loss after being up by 20. Smacked Georgia 41–17 then lose 28-7. Smacked Alabama no playoff.

I loved it.

They would have been in if it was 12 teams.

Hope this helps!

That was a weird game, but the 2nd half was fun. Made me a believer in the Tubberville curse.

Well, we won the whole thing, so clearly they got it right when they invited us.

Getting smacked by GA like that in the final game was a bad look when only 4 teams get in. Bama shouldn't have went over conference champ Ohio State imo looking at the full resumes.

I felt really good when Bama won the title. I really didn’t think about who wasn’t invited. Also 58-27-5.

This isn't 2017, but Saban gifted the barners the win by keeping Tua on the bench.

Sure, a 4-team playoff is exactly the same as a 12-team playoff.

Idiot.
