It wouldn’t be the playoff without the Big Ten being shut out.



I will say it's kind of lame they didn't actually do one for the *games* that were played... just the selection. I guess Auburn going full turtle didn't help provide as quality of content.

Gotta love this:

Don’t reference Ohio State last season, which got in as the Big Ten representative despite losing the head-to-head matchup and division title to Penn State. It’s not comparable.

All things considered, Alabama should be in, period.

But conference championship games should be eliminated.

People really seem to struggle with the concept that one of the four best teams might have lost a game that cost them a chance at a conference championship. I mean, if we'd lost to Iowa instead of Auburn, we'd have played Georgia in the SECCG.

We have 5 power conferences, only 4 of those championship winners with the best overall record + SOR + SOS, get in.

That will make it essentially a 16 team playoff system and conf championships mean something.

Low probability when picking the best 4 winners that you will have a surprise 9-3 team who knocked off an 11-1. Its mathematically possible you have 2 of those situations, but really not likely.

Based on those rules: We get the playoff, we get conference winner and the best ones at that.

So, no Bama wouldn't be in. It is a bit unfair they played one less game than everyone in the CFP.

But it is what it is.
