re: What matters more to be in the playoff, Best win or Worse loss?

Maybe the committee learned their lesson last year. Last year, they put in The Ohio State University over the Big 10 champ because they "passed the eye test". We all know what happened. This year, do they leave Bama out because they are scared of the same thing hapening again?

Also, there is serious SEC and Bama fatigue. Would they be scared of an all SEC final game? Possibly. Bama is obviously talented, but I just don't see it happening.
