Alabama didn't deserve to play LSU

Honestly I see it both ways

Before the playoffs were setup, everybody somewhat viewed the regular system as a playoff.

LSU beating Bama at Bama, and then having to play an extra game in the SEC championship while Bama sat home due to losing does not make much logical sense at all. That is a hard sell to me


Point 2

Bama was clearly one of the two best teams, so them being chosen as the second team makes sense.

I go back and forth with this. But ultimately, I do think it is a ridiculous concept that a team lost at home, and was rewarded by not having to play an extra game that the team that beat them had to play.
