Shouldn't you win your conference to be included? Or at least your half of your conference?

They set the precedence last year when they placed OSU over Penn State. This year is just another reason for expanding to 6 or 8 teams.

Shouldn't you not have two losses with one being a blown out lost to a five loss team.  I think Alabama is the better team but I would have understood if they took Ohio St.

I can hear the wailing and gnashing of teeth all the way from Columbus....and I love it.  This is the bed they helped make, now they gotta lay in it.  LOL!

Best 4 teams got in.

Bama’s loss is better than Ohio State’s two  losses.

Ohio State also sucked it up last year, when they were done a huge favor by the committee.

Plus we get Clemson Bama 3, the rubber match.

Notice a geographic aspect

This is a good thing. Why? Because the pAC-12 and B1G are starting to understand that this committee is unfair and the only way to get a fair shake is to expand to 8 which will finally get the G5 at least a tiny bit of access chance.

I am also happy UCF won yesterday. I really hope they sue the NCAA now. They have a case.

It will never include the G5’s...ever.if anything, they’ll make it only open to conference champions of their 5 Leagues, with the worst one left out. 

The committee got it right. These 4 are the best 4 teams. And Bama got  a week off to heal, unlike the other three. I fully expect them to win it all.
