I understand this board hates Alabama, but we're not the ones you should be angry with...

What you should be angry at is the fact that two teams from the G5 got in this year. Does anyone honestly think Tulane or James Madison are anywhere close to Notre Dame's level? But because of this equity bullshite we're trying to push to avoid hurting peoples' feelings, we have to allow a team barely ranked in the Top 25 an automatic bid even though their best win was to an unranked Old Dominion squad.

Eye Test tells me that Bama is better than Tulane and James Madison.

I don’t think anyone is actually angry.

Bama fans are happy to have a spot & Bama haters expecting another L.

Everything you’ve said is correct. We all know that CFB is a generally retarded clown league, relative to its peers and analogues.

As far as the CFP specifically, yes G5 involvement is a joke. Eliminate them. I hate to agree with Urban, but I agree with Urban — kill the committee and make everything play-in.

Honestly, anyone beyond #4 has almost no shot.

Yeah. Bama getting in was a soft issue compared to about 4 other thing:

ACC title games tie breakers

A/M v. Ole Miss for 6 seed

CFP ranking Miami for weeks as the ACC champion when they had almost no shot of being in the title game.

Because of the above, ranking Notre Dame above Miami assuming they would both go in.

Might be a long shot, but at least Bama has a shot. Betting odds says yeah… the defense across the top 4 alone is a cut above. But you guys did in fact beat UGA this year, so you could potentially fumble frick fluke your way to the semis.

Tulane & James Madison displacing ND & TX though? Forking laughable.

I have no dog in this fight, yet typing out that sentence makes me want to facepalm.

Why does it bother bama fans sooooooooo much that other fans just don't like them?

This place doesn't like LSU and 98% of the LSU fans absolutely DON'T GAF.

Agreed. Stop having automatic qualifiers and getting these crappy teams in. Just put in the 12 best

Better two teams from G5 than the 4th and 5th place teams from the “power” conferences.

It's a dumb system. Adding more spots does not create more contenders. It just puts people who aren't contenders in.

I haven’t seen too many people actually angry. Most fans don’t really care just pointing out the stupidity of the entire process lol

The by laws state that it’s to top 5 ranked conference champs. It’s not JMU and Tulane’s fault that the ACC is arse

Stop talking about ND. They were not screwed. BYU was screwed out of a Top 10, and then UT/Vandy were the teams that were screwed by the dumb AQ shite. After all of those teams, ND had the next best claim.

Miami is who everyone should be pissed off at aside from the G5 AQs. How does a team sitting on their asses jump two teams? Miami should’ve been placed higher earlier and it’s not a big deal, but the last second logic doesn’t add up.

We are angry becuz weather in the playoffs or during games the blatant cheating and bias for Alabama is unbelievable! There honestly should be an investigation for the many years of this crap. And all bama fans do is gloat about it! Your time is at hand!

Was the playoff just created so teams like Boise State last year can’t bitch about being left out?

G5 needs their own bracket. Period.
