Florida lost on the road at FSU, not at home.
Florida won its conference as well.
Alabama should have been there because everyone else lost, but UF had a much better claim to a tittle game IMO
All of this. How Oklahoma State losing translates to Alabama being the 2nd best team in the nation is beyond me. If they were truly top 2 all season, they should of been ranked in the top 2 all season.
But they were always #1/#2 all year obviously. But it shouldn't of taken an OSU lost to prove that. That's why the whole eyeball test is dumb as shite.

I'm really trying to understand this but I don't get this at all. Are you saying that how many losses a team has should not affect the rankings? So in 2007, LSU should have gone to the national title game with 2 losses even if WVU does not lose to Pitt?
OSU is a shoo in for the title game if they are undefeated. But when they lost to a really shitty ISU team, that opened up the contest again because you had 4 one loss teams wanting that spot (Bama, Stanford, Oregon, and OSU). The voters felt that Bama was the best of those 4.

I don't know, depends on the eyeball. OSU lost because their D wasn't average nor mediocre...it was horrible, that's the only way an ISU had a chance to begin with. Were they really a top 5 caliber team to begin with? I'm more and more starting to like the mini-playoff format they are working out.
