Not even close. He spoke for his team.
Bama had nothing of note to mention, so even Saban jumped on Iowa's dick.

I never thought the BCS was a bad thing. I think keep the BCS rankings and let those 4 fight it out.

March Madness is the biggest joke in all of sports. Seriously, total joke.

Except Alabama resume wasn't terrible or even bad. They were the #1 or #2 team for 11 weeks scheduled a top 3 team OOC and won 11 games. Their 1 loss was to the hottest teams on the road in a rivalry game. That loss was not enough to eliminate them.
Certainly wasn't good enough, holy shite their best wins were Mississippi State(which UGA and Auburn both ASSRAPED) and LSU which lost to Troy AT HOME, the only high-caliber matchup they faced the whole season they got MAULED by 2 scores and aren't even state champs. the 2017 Alabama resume is simply meh or whatevs, nothing remarkable. Certainly nothing that argues "ONE OF THE 4 BEST TEAMS IN THE NATION."

Gumps dick riding Iowa is my favorite thing to come out of this season.
Dick riding a team from Iowa won us the 2011 championship. If we have to eat a little corn to win a championship again we'll do so.

Winning your conference should get you in.
Makes conference championship games 1000x more exciting when a shitty team is gunning for a spot in the playoffs
Makes the regular season more exciting, makes the conference championships more exciting.
Everyone things about this year, but I cant Think of a year when it wouldn’t work out.

Ten days or so ago he went off on a rant when A&M was pursuing Jimbo (who do they think they are?), and for him Tennessee was clearly the better job and there was no way Jimbo Fisher was going to A&M. Then the Schiano fiasco happened followed by... what? 4 other rejections including just-fired Kevin Sumlin? And then the Jimbo hire became a real thing. To his credit, he admitted he was mistaken when called on it by Texags' Olin Buchanan on Twitter.
He's a clown, but can at least admit when he was wrong.

He is an idiot. Same thing happened last year, in OSU's favor we all know. 1 loss OSU who didn't even play in its conference championship got into the playoff over 2 loss big 10 champ penn state. Why? Same reasons Alabama got in this year. That said, I hope we fair better against Clemson than OSU
DID lol
DID lol

Counting 6-6 Florida St as a top 3 OOC team

Closest team to Bama's #47 SOS in the top-10 would be Wisconsin at #57. Play-off teams average SOS (minus Bama): #15

Obviously the playoff committee doesn't agree with you.
Of course not. They did less than a week ago.
Tell me what week was it that had the playoff poll rank Ohio State in the top 4?
Because your argument is silly without that fact...

It's the same thing with college basketball: whatever is the criteria for teams being eligible to play for championships, the ADs and head coaches will massage and manage schedules in order to best position their teams to be part of the discussion. It's this nature that's the reason why we have a playoff these days anyways.
So when it's an 8-team playoff, it'll only be a matter of time before each season the arguments are that 9-10-12 teams belong in it. It'll become a 64-team college FB play-off that concludes on the Saturday before Super Bowl Sunday......

So why don't the rest of your teams field a team worth a flip? It isn't Bama's fault that FSU decided to completely, mysteriously tank this year. It wasn't Bama's fault that 7SU decided to go hire a doofus and become a borderline top 25 team. It's not Bama's fault that Ole Miss, utk, and Arkansas all suck now.
