Alabama is going to win another title

I think FSU got hosed more than anyone. I don't think they'd beat any of the teams in question but being unbeaten, winning your power 5 conference title, and being left out is BS IMO.

That being said, I almost wonder if the selection committee was worried about repeating the TCU debacle. TCU deserved to be there, they earned it, but that NC game against UGA was horrendous.

The thing that bothers me is that I don't believe UGA was all that great this year and I'm not surprised bama beat them. There again, UGA cliently squeaked through the season unbeaten, much like FSU did. But the pollsters act as though Alabama just beat the KC Chiefs in Arrowhead.

Everyone on TV talks about how Alabama appears to be one of the four best right now. They looked like turds the first 6 games (I say turds by their standards), but they pulled it together and were much better the second half of the season. Great, but I thought the whole resume was looked at, not just who's peaking at the end of the year?

Nonetheless, I'm pulling for the Huskies. Watching them against Oregon.. twice, I like em. Bama, even though I think they got preferential treatment, I hope they blow the doors off Michigan. I couldn't care less about Texas.

Alabama vs Washington for the NC has a bit of a nice ring to it in my book.
 
I keep seeing this take on social media and it’s just wrong.

Cardale Jones played lights out in the B1G title game and OSU won 57-0 over a pretty darn good Wisconsin team. FSU looked like dodo against (5-7) UF, and UL. It’s not even close to the same scenario as the 2014 Buckeyes.

The point stands: you cannot before have predicted in a 1 game playoff the results…so you go with the most qualified team in a voting based system.

Come on, the same BS was levered against ND in 1993. Some said: yeah but FSU would beat them if they played again, better quality loss, etc…trumping the most important factor, winning, head to head at that.

Welcome to why soft corruption happens. We as people not only accept it, but cheerlead it. That’s why I’m not so invested in college football.

They will push a preferred narrative when they want.

I believe Alabama probably is right now the best team in the country and likely to win another NC.

But they simply should not have gotten into the playoffs.

If you truly believe they should...well, then FSU deserved their NC over ND in 1993!

Come on, see through the childish doublespeak that forecasting the future is more important than actual wins on the field.
Great analogy

Alabama will beat Texas in rematch. Michigan got really screwed drawing Alabama
Michigan drawing Alabama was not by happenstance it was intentional to give bama the easiest path.
The committee was not an honest broker in this endeavor.
If they were Washington would be number 1.
Ever since the platform was formed college football has lost a step
Next season will be 12 teams and fore the rest of college football there will be nothing
With each step the bowl games lose their allure
Bowl games use to be the best part of the year too bad those days are gone
For those who have never experienced it.
It would be just hard to explain, because to just put it in words leave out the emotion involved which was the glory of it
