I’ll be wrong, but no way no how should Alabama be in.

Get that embarrassed against anybody then that team should have no right to think they should play for the championship.

Ridiculous. You can’t penalize them for playing in their title game. Look at Notre Dame’s schedule, they have 2 good wins, and only played 4 good teams.

Alabamas case to be in is they beat georgia

Does Georgia beating the hell out of them at the end of the season change the value of them beating Georgia earlier?

No. I would also argue they didn’t “beat the hell out of them”. You can’t penalize them for playing in a title game when ND and Miami didn’t. Hell, Miami didn’t even make theirs. A 7-5 team did.

Do you disagree that bama’s best win is Georgia?
Do you disagree that bama was 21 points worse than Georgia last night?

What’s so hard about the bracket selection? Notre Dame should be out. It’s not that difficult. Notre Dame played 4 good teams and lost to 2. Ridiculous they’re even debating it.

This. Should be Miami in over ND.....no contest. And I'd put in Alabama due to the Georgia win. But really......I'd probably put in BYU over Alabama. Not sure why they've been completely absent from the debate. Obviously the thrashing in Championship doesn't help......but the Big 12 was a perfectly decent conference this year and their only loss was Texas Tech.

No. Yes. If you want to play the closer score thing matters then Bama punts at their own 10 and it’s 21-7. But why does it even matter when ND plays a cupcake schedule with 8 cupcake wins and Miami finishes below a 7-5 team? What’s ND’s best win? What’s their 2nd, 3rd, and 4th best wins? What are Miami’s best wins?
 






Alabama and Miami are in. That's what I would have done too.

Miami getting to play a Texas A&M team of questionable quality too.
 





Yes, I don't care who else is in or where they are slotted, I love that nd is not in it!
 





I really don't like how the committee was very clearly hedging their bets for this outcome with Alabama leapfrogging ND for barely beating Auburn while ND destroyed Stanford. All to make sure an ACC team can still get in and that they can prevent Alabama fans from whining. I was fine with Bama staying in the playoff but them being at 9 after getting embarrassed given the circumstances is ridiculous.

I hate sticking up for an SEC team.....but I don't think it's fair to count the Championship loss towards this. Especially when the alternative is a Notre Dame team whose best win is USC.

The championship loss itself isn't bad to me. But I look at it as how they lost, and it adding to two other losses, one of those being to a poor Florida State group.

If this had been just their second loss of the season, I get it. But a third loss, and it being a blowout, is a black spot on the resume in my view.
 



Super fair for Oklahoma that they have to beat Bama again despite beating them just a few short weeks ago. On the road no less that time

This is just part of why 12 without more autobids and mega conferences is just silly

Lol
Here you are disagreeing with the results of a game

Notre dame doesn’t have one.
Miamis best win is Notre dame

I don’t really care who gets in.
But pretending bama has a good resume is ridiculous

I don't disagree. But the Championship is an extra game. One that Notre Dame didn't have to play. I find it hard to hold that against Alabama. To add to that.....it sounds as though they had quite a few guys out due to injury. So they will probably return a couple of guys for the playoff.

In the end....for me it comes down to the wins. Notre Dame lost to both of the playoff caliber teams they played. Alabama beat Georgia during the season.
