The committee got everything right except putting the Crimson Tide in over Notre Dame. Noooooo, not after losing to a 5-7 Florida St. team, not after barely surviving against 5-7 Auburn, and not after getting their ass handed to them by Georgia for the SEC title! The Irish barely lost two games to quality opponents to start the year, but have smashed every team since, and would smash Alabama right now on a neutral field. And I'm not even a Notre Dame fan. End of rant.

I agree with you that Bama shouldn't be in. But my only thing with ND is they didn't do themselves any favours with scheduling. They had 2 games this year (and granted it was only by 4 points) but they lost them. The rest of the schedule was awful.
And you would think they would learn from this but check out next years schedule.
- Wisconsin
- Rice
- Michigan State
- Purdue
- North Carolina
- Navy
- Miami
- Boston College
- SMU
- Stanford
- Syracuse
- USC
If they lose even 1 of these games, they will be out again.

Yeah, I can't feel TOO sorry for the Irish when they refuse to join a conference.

Notre dame. Texas or vandy over bama. IMO. Hope bama lays another egg. Won’t be easy at Oklahoma… their defense similar to Georgia
Bama got lucky playing Oklahoma. I'm not that because I expect them to win. But Oklahoma's offense is as brutal as Bama's so that will keep them in the game.

@AJ86 Yeah. I guess they were lucky winning six nattys also
Not sure your angle here. Are you imply that success in the past decades should play a role in teams making the playoffs? If that is the case, Nebraska should be in it as well.
