re: Ranking the 1-Loss Playoff Teams by Quality Wins

I agree with that.

I guess my point is that Alabama always seems to get that extra bump, and its always explained away as "eye test". They always get that extra benefit of the doubt and that second look. Other teams are thrown to the side without any contemplation despite having the same type of resume.

My own personal opinion is that Quality Wins and Conference Championships should be most meaningful. The Playoff Committee also espouses these as major factors, only they have no problem ignoring them and reverting back to "eye test" if it fits their narrative which is why I have a problem with the rankings being decided by a committee.

I don't mind a loss especially if its to a Top 4 or 5 team if the team in question has other major wins that make up for it. But if you can't beat a single Top 15 team, you shouldn't even be in the discussion.
