Didn’t Bama beat Clemson by the same exact score in the 2017-18 playoff semi?

It took a miracle in the last seconds for Jawja to beat this Cincy team last year.

By the book, yes. At the end of reg season, they were the only undefeated standing.

By any practical reason, probably not. People can cry P5 bias all the want, but any G5 looks good when they rise above dogshit-level and their schedule is nothing but cupcakes.

Who would you put above them? Norte Dame?

Had Okie State won, I’d say they should’ve been there.

Of course not. I wish Bama had been a little more interested, so they could have scored so many points that no other Group of Five team would ever be mentioned as a playoff contender.

Bama basically lined up and ran the ball up the middle, and played defense. And won by 3 TD's.

Remember Washington and Michigan State? Didn’t Bama destroy those teams worse?

Cincinnati played a softer schedule and were more rested than Bama and still lost by 3 tds.

G5's and Independents aka Notre SHAME have proven they do not belong in the playoff and their "Resumes" aren't worth a shite.

It's such a waste of a spot and honestly a slap in the face to teams that are in a power 5 that play tough schedules (that they get to hand pick like ND) and come out with 1 or 2 close losses, most of the time on the road.

In the future, the committee should tell these teams to join a power 5 and win their conference or STFU. Nobody wants you in a power 5? Well we don't want you in the playoff. Best of luck to you.

They played really hard. The difference for these G5 schools is they will lose a lot of their super seniors and will return to their norm over the next 2 years.
