I don't believe in the most deserving stuff. I want the best 4 and it's obvious Bama is one of the best and most talented teams. I think you know that too but you just have such a hate for Bama because of the 8 year streak
Yeah they lost their only ranked game, but it was to the number one team. They were trailing by 20 at halftime and came back to make it a game. There aren't many teams who could get down by 20 to LSU and come back and make it a game
I think the schedule stuff is out of a teams control. After listening to people say it for so long about Clemson and then seeing Clemson go and beat the best teams in the country, I just don't believe in it. I just believe that Bama gets in because if you just watch them play it is obvious that they are super talented and one of the best teams in the country

I hope this is not what the committee is doing. Obviously "I just believe" isn't going to cut it. Records and who you've beaten have to matter. I say this because it's possible to have a 2 loss SEC team that's "one of the best teams in the country" and they're not getting in over an undefeated Pac 12 champ. It becomes too subjective when the only criteria you have is eye test and vegas odds.

No, I believe under this system, every game matters. It's exactly why Greg Sankey said the CFP committee doesn't want to expand beyond 4 teams. They want games like Bama-LSU to have major playoff implications...to be an elimination game if you will.
There are going to be multiple teams with one loss at the end of the year along with Bama vying for a spot, so yes, schedule and opponent records and most importantly wins all have to be considered.
Clemson has a creampuff schedule. But they've been doing what they should to those creampuffs and no one questions that if they win out they're in.
For my money, I let a one loss conference champ in over a one loss non-conference champ every day. Those championship games have to matter all the time, or never...not selectively in an effort to cherry pick which teams pass the "eye test" which is better known as: totally subjective bias.
