Just like none of the playoff teams "earned" their way either, they're chosen by a 12-13 panel of kangaroos who are supposed "experts."

Yes, it's still a very faulty system and, no, the best team will not always be picked to participate in the 4-team playoff. However, last year Alabama, and Ohio State the year before had to face a broader challenge on the post season field at least.

Clearly Bama was, by far, the best of the four last year. That's much more credible than saying the Crimson Tide was, by far, the best of the two when they played Notre Dame.

The implication was that Notre Dame was the second best team in the nation. That's just lunacy. If the Irish had beaten two or three teams in a playoff and then had gotten humiliated by Bama, they might have had a claim.

But then think what that would have said about Bama. They would have gone down in history as one of the greatest teams of all time, inarguably so.
