Serious point. If Bama wins the first game, they deserve to be there, right? That would show that they were more deserving than the team they beat. And no, Bama losing doesn't mean they should NOT have been there, necessarily, cause whomever would've been in their spot may have lost, too. At the end of the day, the world may never know.
At the end of the day, the rapture could happen and Bama and Saban would be the only team left here !!
just like i’m sure you’ve protested every year so far since we’ve never had 8. sorry. this ain’t little league where everyone gets a participation trophy. you want in? don’t lose. works both ways, slick. Bama’s results don’t prove anything, because like you said the other team may have had exact same results.
In the selection of Bama over Ohio State a big part of the eye test was "Would Alabama have lost by 31 against Iowa." The committee didn't think so and I can''t see that possibly happening.
