This is such BS. If they would have put in Bama everyone would have been crying that they are partial to the SEC and saying tcu deserves to be in.
What does political correctness have to do with it?

The talent gap from the top teams is obvious. In reality, Michigan beats TCU 9 out of 10 times. They just happened to lose the 1 out of 10. Michigan I think would’ve been a much better game. Though I still think Georgia would beat them by 10 or more points.
Spreading the opportunities around / Bama-SEC fatigue. TCU like Cinncy last year a sentimental pick. if TCU played Bama schedule they would have 4 loses and the team that beat TCU got taken to the woodshed by Bama. I much rather watch a real football game for a national championship contest and Bama vs ga would have been a worthy watch
You do realize that Ohio St. was the 4 seed, right? So if Bama got in, they would have been # 4 and TCU would still have played Michigan. You also realize that TCU was ranked ahead of Bama in the polls, right?
If you knew what you were talking about, you would be dangerous.
that’s my point, don’t be politically correct just put the best teams in. And Bama vs ga would have been a helluva game. Young now fully recovered and Bama just dismantled the team that beat TCU. the committee knows it and saw the game but proved gutless and went with sentimental favorite—TCU. And the fans got screwed and had to watch this vomit
Doing it on the field is what it is all about. Being the better team on paper gets you nothing.
Bama should have beaten LSU and Tennessee. They didn't.
Of course I realize that, so what? you don’t think Bama is one of the 4 best teams is that what you’re trying to tell me? They should have been in over OSU and TCU
You are entitled to your opinion. The people who make the decisions don't agree with you. Bama lost two games this year. I have zero sympathy for them.
I thought the committe’s job was picking the 4 best teams now? So Bama at end of season wasn’t one of the 4 best in your mind? did you watch the tenn game? maybe the poorest officiated game I’ve ever seen—17 penalties for 130 yds for Bama vs 6 for tenn. So 2 sec road games that both went to the last play of the game. Meanwhile OSU gets blown out at home. Obviously that’s what the committee is looking at—2 loses—- I get it. But they didn’t pick the 4 best teams and that is their mandate
No. Bama was not one of the best four teams. Tell me Bama's best win. Mississippi St? Ole Miss? Arkansas?
It’s not about having sympathy, no one on this board is a Bama fan. Fact remains , ( and yes it’s my opinion) , Bama was one of the 4 best teams. There has been a lot of complaints about sec bias and many are tired of Bama dominance but the committee got it dead wrong. Bama is a Vegas favorite vs Michigan, OSU and TCU
If they were picking the 4 best teams, why would Bama get in over LSU or UT- they lost to both?
I hope we never get to the point where odds makers pick teams that go to the playoffs. Teams should be rewarded for performance on the field.
4 best teams at end of season is when selections are made. its the 4 best teams at that point and I believe Bama was one of them. I don’t think at end of season lsu or ut were better then Bama. I get your point though. I would add this though , bama’s loses were not nearly as bad as lsu’s or ut’s and they beat Bama at home and last play of the game.
Still waiting---what was Bama's best win? Mississippi St? Ole Miss? Arkansas?
But
YOU CAN'T TAKE THE 4 BEST TEAMS BASED ON THIS SHIT SHOW OF A REGULAR SEASON.
TEAMS TERRIFIED OF TOUGH CROSS OVER OUT OF CONFERENCE GAMES ...
THE SEC WON'T PLAY ABOVE THE MASON DIXON LINE POST HALLOWEEN....
IT'S A BEAUTY PAGEANT AND NOTHING MORE. PUNCH AND JUDY SHOW. A POPULARITY CONTEST.
i agree with both points. but I also don’t think a w/L record always tells the whole story. Case in point was tenn/ Ala. , I think Ala probably wins 9 of 10 times it was an atrocious performance by the refs. and are your loses at home? on the road? who played/ who didn’t? My point is at end of season Bama was healthy and playing good ball and I think they were as good as anyone.
Over the course of a season, by outperforming opposiron defenses and offenses on a per play level and overall game control, they were either a top 2 or top 3 team. Georgia‘s the best team, but you Bama would give every team a fight.
K state / Texas K state beat TCU and got waxed by Bama. OSU / Michigan what were their great wins? I think bama’s sos was top 5 in country
Again you can’t take 4 best teams super literally. They play the games. They look at resume. They pick based on that stuff. You lose you get penalized. Simple. Win your games
Then how many weeks of the season really matter? How many losses tolerated before a team reaches its best during the last weeks of the season? Can a team lose 3 in a row because of injury, then wins 9 in a row if injured player returns and considered one of the best teams?
Should ND be given victories because they would beat Marshall and Stanford more often than losing in a projection of 10 games?
No 2-loss team belongs in the playoff, regardless of opinions.
The debate over who should have gotten in is secondary. We could argue all day, which I won't.
But what is interesting is the gap between Georgia and TCU...elite vs less than that. I also consider Ohio State and Alabama elite.
As others noted, TCU got a Michigan team that choked. But got exposed against the Dawgs.
More importantly to me, this speaks to how far Notre Dame is from elite.

If they were that good they would have beaten LSU or Tennessee.
OP - "I wanted Bama in and the committee hurt my feelings."
We’re a lot closer than TCU. If you look at the 247 talent composite rankings, ND has nearly more 4 stars than anyone.
The playoff games we had were nowhere near as bad as the game tonight was, and we played the national championship in both. ND is just lacking an elite QB. Put Bryce Young on the 2018 team and we might win the whole thing. 2015 was a potential title team as well if not for BVG.
Georgia or Bama are going to win next year as well, the amount of talent they are hoarding is ludicrous.
True, won/loss records don't always tell the story, but in most sports they are the SOLE CRITERION for making the playoffs. In fact, I can't think of any PRO SPORT where they aren't, and college football is now TRENDING more and more TOWARDS that same sort of PRO FORMAT, now that it's athletes are UNEQUIVOCAL SEMI-PROS.
Sometimes, a lesser and/or wild card team will make it through a MULTI-LAYER playoff run and EVEN WIN IT ALL in which case your point will have been PROVEN in the event in that particular instance. But it doesn't always happen.
So, you have to start SOMEWHERE QUANTITATIVELY MEASUREABLE as the days of CFB CRYSTAL BALL PROGNOSTICATING are passing. And it's a GOOD THING. Who wants to deal with trying to wade through the VAGARIES of a SUBJECTIVE PRONOUNCEMENT by the POWERS ON HIGH that a two-loss team belongs in the playoffs.
From an OPTICS perspective alone, it's too controversial an ARGUMENT -- unless controversy is what you're SEEKING.
One can argue SUBJECTIVELY all day that a 7-9 NFL team belongs in the playoffs more than one that has gotten in at 9-7, but it doesn't MEAN SQUAT. Soon, the same will be true for CFB. Losses will simply be losses, and the more you have, the worse off you will be. In fact, it's already like that. And that's why Bama with its two losses didn't get in.
A more OBJECTIVE MEASURE was needed.
BS from OP.. TCU deserved to be there.. Blowouts happen it's part of the game..
You can't put in 2 loss Bama in there otherwise rest of the conference might as well just give up football if it's going to be just a SEC intersectional every year.

Yeah, NCAA -- why don't we just let Bama play Georgia 13 times a year and cut out college football. Georgia in recruiting since 2018 1-2-1-4-3 (25 five stars, even Bama only had 19)... Don't know how non semi-pro programs like ND will ever compete. Amazing what Dabo did at Clemson (he did have the best QB of the last ten years -- before Caleb -- in Trevor.)
I felt bad in the fourth quarter one Georgia had its back ups and the third stringers, many of them true freshman, destroying the TCU offensive and defensive lines. Beck looks really good, too.
Styles make fights...
TCU deserved to be there.
They caught a team thst got white hot...
TCU caught Michigan at a moment...
That score was not indicative of anything other than if they played 10 times Georgia wins most.
But..
On the flip side if OSU and UGA rematched OSU might win 6 or 7 of 10 against
UGA
Styles make fights
Jittery...
Very Real thing.
Georgia had it's moment's like that until it broke through last year
Georgia, it was old hat.
TCU looked nervous as hell.
Georgia... just another game.
But yes
..TCU deserved to be one of the 4 involved
