I think if you’re the 4 teams, you don’t want to play Alabama in round 1 and you don’t want to play Georgia in Atlanta. No easy outs this year

No It's just not happening
No way the SEC has 2 teams in .
If Clemson, Oklahoma, Georgia and Alabama, you left out a big ass part of the country which is viewership, which is ratings , which is money .
Why do you think Ohio State got in last year ? They're a much bigger market than Penn State was .
This is about money , not the "Best" 4 ..Never was about the Best 4 .
Who wins if Bama vs. Ohio State happened is ultimately what you would think the committee reflects on , that gives everyone a Best 4 result wouldn't it ? But it's not
Ohio State is getting in whether right or wrong

No , I wished it was , not due to being a Bammer but for sake of we scrapped an entire system , BCS , saying it was wrong . We have better methods to establish the Top 4 .
So whenever you put humans in the equation, oh shiate, look out . That's just how it is .
This is and always will be about money , honestly if we got to 8, #9 then has a complaint , we have 3 losses too , etc .
While I think Bama would beat Ohio State
I think they should let Ohio State in , last yr they fukked up breaking precedence that Conference Champs means something. If that didn't happen, this discussion probably isn't even happening .
Let OSU in , theyll play Clemson , could be yet a 3rd 30 pt loss by the big 10 in the playoffs for 3 straight games ? Maybe it helps out in the end ?
38-0 , 31-0 the past 2
Let that sunk in for a minute , Big 10 deserves it while they can't even fukkin score the last two ? What a crock of BS
Imagine the SEC the past 2 losing by 69 combined points , dear God , everyone would be screaming don't let them in and RIGHTFULLY SO .
Neither Ohio State or Bama is winning it
This year has Clemson vs. Oklahoma written all over it .

Tough to accept, and I don't care for either team...but a 2 loss Ohio State getting in before a 1 loss Bama seems outrageous to me. Especially since both OSU losses were blowouts.

I'm all for getting this right being the end result .
So I'm ok with Ohio State getting in . I'm not ok with they're Big 10 champs , means shit .
You don't lose by 69 and not score being the almighty most powerful conference .
Give it a rest , someone from the big 10 just finally showed the fukk up again , regain the argument of the Big 10 has pull and can hang with any other conference .
The last 2 years shows that argument isn't exactly true .

Hypocrisy will be proven if Ohio State gets in after last year's "explanation"
I wouldn't put anything past these corrupt assholes. 5 conferences with 4 spots is a joke anyways

There is NO reasoning behind putting Ohio State in except for "conference champs". They have 2 losses and both were blowouts and 1 to a mediocre Iowa team at best. Jesus.

Unless they use numbers to analyze these teams, there will always be bias. I don't know what the formula is, but if it's left to a committee, they will choose the best teams that help draw the most advertising money.

Is strength of sched part of equation? Is there even an equation? Alabama has a shady ass sched. Does Bama ever go out on the road for a tough non-conf matchup?

2 games is a pretty nice sample size, huh.

Should be down to Bama, OSU, and USC. Truthfully, USC has a better resume than both of Bama and USC.

You think non-sec selection members in the committee are voting 2 sec teams? When you have people deciding things, money and allegiance sway decisions and they have enough ammunition to say no to Alabama just like they did with tcu 3 years ago.

I do expect bama to be 4th. The Iowa loss is tough to get over. Can they put bama 3rd Georgia 4th? Would be pretty hard

Bama is like the Yankees TCU isn't even the most popular team in their state. If you put tcus name on bamas jerseys, then Ohio St probably would be 4th

I would rather see USC in than BAma or OSU. OSU beats up on little guys, and Bama's best win was over Miss St. USC has far better wins than bama and better losses than OSU.

Yea , when you say here's our best . Whether one , two , ten or twenty . 99.9% expect an actual game .
So those two don't count , the most recent ?
Being as they were actually Top 4 material ?
