Are you suggesting Wisconsin was a better football team or would have defeated Alabama in tackle football in 2017?
No, I'm suggesting that Giant Leaf's argument regarding playing in or not playing in conference championships is dumb. It's just incredibly ironic that an Alabama fan would say Notre Dame didn't deserve to be in the playoffs because they didn't play in a conference championship game. Then, like clockwork, he moves the goalposts to try to justify Alabama in the years they didn't play in one. But no, I am not suggesting Wisconsin was better than Alabama last year.

Gotcha.
The conference issue doesn't bother me with Notre Dame. It's how they tend to struggle with lesser competition and fail the eye test.
No one thought Notre Dame had a chance against Clemson, but under the current format it would have been incredibly tough to leave Notre Dame out of the playoff.
If we go to a six or an eight team playoff the arguments will nearly disappear, but so will what's left of bowl season.
Regardless of what people want, we're headed that way.
