So Alabama gets to skip a game but not Notre Dame? Or do the requirements change based on your own subjective opinion? If only they had like a group of people that would weigh the resumes of all the teams. Maybe like a committee or something...

Q: How big is the gap between Alabama and Ohio State?

Hocutt: “Reflecting on the discussions over the last two days, obviously there's three spots that separate them right there, but it's close separation from team No. 5, Alabama; 6, Georgia; 7, Miami; 8, Ohio State. Those teams are close. Very little separation in the committee's eyes between teams 5 through 8.”

The only thing that changed between Ohio State and Alabama is Ohio State beat the committee's undefeated #4 team while Alabama watched on TV from home.

after 12 games, auburn was ranked ahead of bama

Then, auburn was forced to play a 13th game for beating alabama. Then, we dropped auburn after that extra game

How in the hell can one make logic of that?
