please tell us who should have gotten in over bama, with reasons why. Thanks.
Bama won the SEC last season, they deserved to be in. The years they didn't win it they were still voted in much like Clemson would be if there are 5 undefeated teams. Stay in context WG Dawg. It's not hard.

I asked who should have gotten in in 2017 instead of bama, when they didn't win their division. Still have yet to hear an argument on who should have or why.

no, bama got in that year becuase they had 1 loss (to a team ranked #2 at the time) and the team they were competing against had 2 losses, 1 of which was an utter beatdown to a crappy team. If OSU had beaten purdue, or hell maybe even just lost a close one, they are in. The committee had no choice but to put bama in that year.
I didn't say that was the only or even main reason the committee chose Bama over OSU in 2017, but I think it did influence them, as did Clemson's 31-0 beatdown of OSU the previous year.

Exactly what I said. Look the best programs always get the benefit of the doubt and should. They’ve proven time and again they can and will win. In baseball the LSUs of the world will always get in over another team with equal records because they’ve proven they are worthy. I don’t have a problem with it either.

Actually no, you weren't that specific. 17 wasn't the first or only time bama got a do over. In the context of the OP's question, Clemson isn't getting left out if they're undefeated.

It’s a selection committee
Clemson has 2 of the last 3 titles
The committee won’t leave clemson out

LOL...You wished. Clemson could lose one game and still get in. When you've been to 4 straight playoffs and won 2 (like Baba) you have some cred.
The other P5 schools need to make a game of the semi because Clemson and Bama have been using them as cannon fodder.

Same way bama gets in without winning the conference.
How many years since 2014 has bama gotten into the playoffs without winning the conference?
You seem to preach context a bunch while ignoring the shite out of it yourself.

not with their schedule, assumign the other P5 big boys have 1 or 0 losses as well.

AH and you ignore 11. Why bother to win your division or conference if one team gets to miss the conference championship and still get in ?

What the heck is the matter with you? The man asked a legitimate "off-season" question in the middle of July. No need to be a horse's rear-end.

Doesn't matter. Once we get in, we're gonna wreck shite

Won't matter after 9/7.

Under the original scenario, Notre Dame gets left out d/t lack of conference championship. Then 1 more team would get left out. I suspect it’s Washington d/t lack of history of performance by that conference since BCS started, though that should not matter. Clemson will likely benefit from being ranked 1st or 2nd in polls and will probably benefit from beating the crap out of that schedule.

lol
how did they get in last year without a conference championship? They would have wins over @UGA and @Michigan, which is far more impressive than what osu would have.

Who wants Clemson to not make the playoffs so they don't get their asses kicked again?

End of season..Washington. Oklahoma, Alabama, Ohio State, Notre Dame, and Clemson all end up unbeaten. Who gets in?

It isn't about who you play, how good you are or any other objective measure other than the value your team brings to the TV ratings...Clemson will be in no matter what if they are unbeaten. Dabo and the Tigers have moved up the golden goose ladder in CFB. Not quite to bama levels or USCw in early 2000's, etc...but they aren't far behind. If it's close stick them in...just like it's always been in CFB.

I know, because there isn't one. I'm certainly no bama supporter and don't really even like defending them but it's irritating seeing people be like "it's bama bias! They got in without winning their confernece! IT's not fair!!". There were literally no other valid options, I'm sure the committee would have LOVED to put someone else in but the other 2 teams in contention blew their wad too.
