So you're actually singling out an individual play where A&M didn't execute, or two plays, and probably more than that, and citing those as evidence of A&M's superiority? Wow. I didn't know you could do that. I wonder if the committee will be that thorough? Do you think maybe they'll resort to such lengths, like if they want Bama to qualify again this year, but it's hard to justify on the more superficial merits, like who won an actual game or not, so they get out the game tape and study for missed blocks and tackles and whatnot, and then be like, there you go, proof Bama's better than Indiana or whoever. They deserve to be in. Plus they would be favored, on a neutral field of course. Or maybe it's getting shut out in the 2nd half, that's gotta be a point in their favor. At least by this sort of logic. If they had just scored more, of course they would have won. Ipso facto. They didn't, but that shouldn't be held against them.
Anyway, all we gotta do is win out and we're in. Unless we're somehow deemed to be a team that would lose on a neutral field, based on closer scrutiny of the game tape. In any case, there truly is something deeply perverse about sports being decided by anything other than the results on the field and the score on the scoreboard. Otherwise you get this sort of thing. Pretty unwholesome stuff.
