With OSU defeating Wisconsin, should bama get in the playoffs?

My vote is no but I'm biased...

No. I'm biased too. I think a team should at least win its division.

Ohio State giving up 55 points to Iowa and losing by 31 points, was like seeing Grampaw naked in the shower. Can't get that out of your head EVER.

ROLL TIDE

I just liked seeing his interviews yesterday and last night, hearing Saban having to grovel and lobby repeatedly on why his team should have a chance to play based on their "body of work" was great.

I wish Wisconsin would have won to bring some new teams in to play. Literally since 2013 we have played the same teams in the post-season.

2013 Season beat OSU in Orange Bowl
2014 Season beat Oklahoma in Russell Athletic Bowl
2015 Season beat Oklahoma in CFP Semifinal round
2015 Season lost to Alabama in CFP Championship
2016 Season beat OSU in CFP Semifinal round
2016 Season beat Alabama in CFP Championship
2017 Season vs. Alabama in CFP Semifinal round

Also I don't understand how a team who didn't win their division or conference, basically 3rd place SEC team, gets in the CFP. I understand OSU had a bad loss to Iowa but at least they won the Big 10 Championship by beating number 4 undefeated Wisconsin and they were ranked 8th in the CFP when they did it. Bama doesn't even play but gets moved up to the coveted #4 spot?

Anyways look forward to Jan1st and another round of playoffs.

PS. Would be funny to see Georgia and Alabama win. Would be like another SEC Championship game that was just played in Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta.

^This.

And now they got an extra week's rest while the other teams were getting beat up actually earning their spots legitimately.

4 is not enough.

Just to put something silly out there: three top teams and then have a play in game with two extra teams to determine the 4th seed.

The committee set the precedent last year with ohio, so if you got offended with Bama being included, karma bit that team in the backside.

The mandate of the committee is “ the 4 best teams “. Mission accomplished.

It's the same conversation we had last year when Penn State won the Big 10 and beat Ohio State heads up and only had one loss but Ohio State got it. Except bama didn't beat Georgia this year(they didn't play).

They need 8-16 teams in the play off.

The NFL has about 35% of its teams in the playoffs. College only let's less than 5% of D1 teams in. Not sensible.
