You leave Bama out. Not only did Bama not win their conference, they didn't win their division. If you're not the best team in your own conference, then you shouldn't take up one of the 4 spots in the CFP. (I know the gumps will downvote this like hell, but it's true)

Do you realize how stupid (and redundant) this "logic" is? Let's just remove ourselves from the present for a moment and go back to 1971 when Nebraska, Oklahoma and Colorado finished #1,2 and 3 in the country(all members of the BIG-8). Nebraska analiated an undefeated Alabama team in the Orange bowl, and went undefeated for the MNC. Now under your premise, Oklahoma nor Colorado would have never been in the playoffs even though they destroyed all the other teams that they played(except each other) that year.
The fundamental goal, as clearly stated, for the playoff committee is to select theBEST FOUR TEAMS in the country to play. Now if you don't honestly believe that Alabama is one of the best 4, then that's your problem (a mental one, at that

Ah, but here's the problem with your logic. Auburn was ranked #7 in the CFP rankings and UCF was at #12. Yet, UCF still beat Auburn. So, even if the CFP was expanded to 8 teams, UCF would still have been left out. So the rankings by the committee are purely subjective and not definitive for just who the best is.

Let me ask you this - should the CFP just include only P5 teams?
