    If that 3 or 4 loss conference champion isn't as good as that 1 loss team that didn't win the conference then it'll work itself out on the field in the playoffs.

    Let's quit deciding champions in the board room and let it be decided on the field as it is in all other organized sports.
    They won't do that because there won't be the fire of news over who #9 was compared to who #5. Plus that would extend the number of games limited people would watch. I said a few years ago that the committee exposed itself as getting in the TV darlings with OSU getting in over TCU and Baylor. Also said if one of those teams were Texas or Oklahoma with the same resume OSU could have won 100-0 and it wouldn't matter.

    And...fucking Bama wins it all despite not even making it to their conference championship, because of course.


    I have to hand it though to their freshman QB with the Matt Stairs-like dagger to the hearts of Georgia fans.

    Ugh, this is happening again this year isn't it? But unlike 2017, the team ahead of Bama in their division is also higher in the national rankings! Bama has no argument to make it in the CFP this year!

    I'm glad GA is still #4 but they have to upset LSU to make it. I have too many doubts though so I will hope for the best but I will expect the worst. However, I'm a SEC fan so as long as an SEC teams wins it all, I'm happy.

    Thank God they lost so they can't backdoor their way in again. But now watch GA upset LSU and the boardroom sneaks LSU in the CFP anyway and LSU goes on to win it all.

    Well LSU beat my bulldogs but I'm kinda surprised they only dropped to #5. Too many key players are out and now I have doubt they can beat Baylor.
