My issue is that we know certain teams have won with the schedule they were dealt. We also know Bama has not

If they wanted to put Bama in there in 3 weeks, I get it, but to have them ahead of TCU/Baylor/MSU is insane

Michigan State has a road win that is better than any win Bama has. Call it fluke if you want but they have the W

It just doesn't matter. Bama is a good team, prob favored over any team in college football in a neutral site game.

Yes, tOSU has played a murderers row of a schedule. Truly undervalued by the committee.

You see the committee wanted to make sure the SEC and specifically Bama can get into the playoffs even if Ole Miss were to somehow win out and prevent Bama from SEC Champ game.

With Bama already in the top 4, it pretty much assures them that Bama can win out, not make the SEC champ game, and still have a ligitimate reason to be included in playoff. We all know they WON'T drop Bama out if they win out no matter what else happens since they are already in top 4. Now everybody understands how LSU felt in 2011. I for one am not surprised at all and understand moving forward its just the way things are.

Schedule they were dealt? You realize you get to schedule your own OOC games, right? Who have TCU and Baylor chosen to schedule? THAT is the committee's issue with those two teams.

Call it a fluke if you want? Whether I want to call it that or not is irrelevant. I HAVE to call it that b/c that's precisely what it was. The committee seemingly took that into account too.
