I played Notre Dame to miss and also Bama to miss.

I expect both bets to lose, but the prices were good enough to sprinkle it.

I still don’t think the ESPN created and run playoff is going to risk the SEC canceling the ESPN aired SEC championship game by eliminating Bama.


Ah how cute. Bama fans think if they don’t back into another playoff the SEC is cancelling the SEC title game after multiple previous teams have been screwed by it.

But now that Bama couldn’t even have the decency to keep the game respectable, the game should be eliminated if they don’t make the playoffs.

bama has better wins and stronger schedule. there is no justification to put notre dame ahead of them.


And 3 losses including 2 of them by 2+ touchdowns with one being to 5-7 FSU.

ND’s losses are by a combine 4 points to #7 and #12. But hey, Bama can’t be held to the same standards they themselves try to use previously.

Indiana
Georgia
Ohio State
Texas Tech
Oregon
Ole Miss
Texas A&M
Oklahoma
Notre Dame
Miami
Tulane
James Madison


It’s prevents the committee from having to make a decision on the Miami ND situation, which works for them

We all thought going to a 12 game playoff would solve the controversy, and then they throw a committee in the mix.

The BCS format is way better.

Wrong. Some of us predicted exactly what would happen when the first playoff scenarios were thrown out. More places = more teams with cases = more controversy.

The controversy then leads to further expansion which only multiplies the number of teams with cases to be included, which leads to even more controversy.

Won't be surprised if politics prevail and ND and Miami both make it.


“Politics”… Bama has 3 losses, including A LOSS BY 14 POINTS TO A 5-7 ACC TEAM. They ran for negative yards today!

They’re trash. Get out of your heads that this is still Saban’s Bama.

Everybody keeps saying that and I seriously don’t get it. That spot was always reserved for Virginia or James Madison. Alabama is in the same exact spot they were before that game, no?

I literally wrote a blog article about this in 2006 or so. It's insane how people didn't see this coming

Bama got blown out by FSU. They should be left off for that alone

Mega conferences, plus the continued existence of the conference championship games, has also made things ridiculous. I'm stunned a five loss team played in a CCG. In the SEC and B1G, you're pretty well off being a one loss team that doesn't make that game.

Bump.

If you think about it from a business perspective, who gets in is much easier to predict.

If it was truly about “best teams” or whatever. They’d have stat nerds and analysts on the committee, but they have athletic directors who are there because they know how to negotiate with TV executives.
