Not arguing 4/5
The bye is real.
Auburn would be in the playoffs if you didn’t play in the Championship game!
Just saying

Better to refuse to play in it. Just forfeit. It is obviously useless in the playoff picture.

The best 4 teams are not in the playoff. Auburn is clearly one of the best 4 teams but based on schedule differences between them and other schools they shouldn't be in (happens, sometimes you get brutal schedules sometimes you get a cakewalk). The committee needs to ditch the "We are looking for best 4 teams" phrase because their is no way people see anything but a big brand with 1 loss over a lesser brand with 2, 3 losses. Example being what happened with Ohio State and Alabama getting benefit of the doubt at the expense of Penn State, Auburn and to a higher degree a team like TCU/Baylor.

I'll use AU as an example since I'm a fan. But to me the commitee basically told me (if I'm AD) to schedule Boston College instead of Clemson and get that W instead of risking an L. It's promoting exactly what the commitee didn't want.

The name ALABAMA carries clout. Can't help it that your program of choice is the "poors".

Maybe some day, in your lifetime, you'll experience what its like for your program to have clout. Then again, maybe you won't. But until you do, you'll never understand and it could never be explained. You just have to be a part of it.

I advocate for a five team playoff.

Henceforth the 4 team BCS Playoff will be moving to a five team format. The fifth slot will be Alabama's permanent playoff spot. The other four teams can battle it out to find out who gets the privilege and honor of playing God's gift to football The Alabama Crimson Tide.

The new system will be called the Alabama Invitational. Best of luck to all the teams.

Addendum:

In the event that God's gift to football happens to lose the championship game. There will be a second followup game. Because everyone knows, no one beats The Alabama Crimson Tide. They only beat themselves.

We are not worthy.

Bye =
You don’t play an additional top 10 team.
You don’t risk losing and being eliminated.
You don’t risk injuries.

Worked out well for your newest favorite team, Ohio State, last year didn't it?

No, it didn't.
STFU
9-6
21-0

Lose conference - check.
Lose division - check.
Playoff spot anyway - check.

Awesomeness

It’s not about melting or anything like that.

I don’t want to discuss 4-8 team playoffs, personally I think the BCS worked.
This final four is “working” and I wouldn’t want it to expand.
I just think any reasonable person should see the obvious advantage to a bye...
It’s a huge advantage that not many of the talking heads are mentioning.
That’s all...
I’m not crying....promise! :)

I’m an OSU hater...
My point is not who should be #4
It’s about #4 getting the only bye.
Can you comprehend?
