Yeah, if you have some time read these in-depth pieces on how the playoff committee is going to work. The committee had a bunch of journalists select the 4 teams from the 2008 season (UF beat #1 Bama in the SECCG) and left Bama out.

They put so much emphasis on conference championships. Also, I was baffled how a 1 loss Texas team which did not win their BIG 12 South division got in but Bama got left out.

They did. Co-champions with 1 loss Texas Tech and Oklahoma. They lost to Texas Tech on the Crabtree catch and beat Oklahoma. Oklahoma got to go to the title game because their loss to Texas came early in the season so they had "enough time to climb back in the polls" and barely be ahead of Texas and Texas Tech in the BCS.
