@volfanbill is right. Bama isn’t deserving, but who you gonna put in instead? Miami’s a joke, Ole Miss blew it just like Bama did, and South Carolina lost the H2H. The fact is 12 teams are too many. Should be 8 with no byes/automatic qualifiers.

Gave you the like for 8 teams. Completely agree.

2 losses to teams that would not be in a bowl game had you beaten them.

1-3 SEC road record

Lost first week being the number 1 team in the country to a team whose stadium doesn’t even hold 30k people

Lost to a team that uses “Anchor Down” as their rallying cry

Lost to a team with zero 5 star recruits while you have an endless supply of them

Lost to a team as a 25 point favorite

YOU GAVE UP 40 POINTS AND LOST TO VANDERBILT!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

68 teams make the basketball tournament and people still argue about who got in and who didn't.

Personally, I love this 12 team format for football. It's a small enough number to still make the regular season meaningful, but it has people all over the country still interested in December.

The BCS was an improvement, but you had two excited fanbases and everyone else going to a bowl equivalent of a participant trophy.

Bama got what Bama earned. Completely no-showing the Oklahoma game simply could not be excused.

That said, I hope Bama cancels all upcoming series with OSU, Notre Dame, etc. Strength of schedule clearly doesn't matter in the CFP rankings and can only do harm.

Was Alabama's out-of-conference schedule really that tough this year?

Western Kentucky (8-5)
South Florida (6-6)
Wisconsin (5-7)
Mercer (11-2) .... vs an FCS schedule

Alabama's only out-of-conference Power 4 opponent, Wisconsin, had a down year. In the future, Alabama should keep Ohio State and Notre Dame on their schedules, and take care of business against the SEC's bottom feeders.

So a two loss Miami who’s played nobody? Army who got annihilated the one time they played somebody? Yea. That’s obviously the right idea. 🙄🙄🙄

Gump's loss to Vandy (while they were the #1 team in the land!!) and their curb stomp from Oklahoma invalidates their wins

That’s not how it works. And you’re just avoiding the actual question

You are only looking at "quality" wins, and at that, via hindsight. At the time, NC State was a quality win, but in hindsight, notsomuch. Oklahoma was never a "quality" loss for Gump. Vanderbilt was, but not as the #1 team in the country. Nah. Gump gets too many passes.

I'm not arguing that Bama should be in over any of them. But the message is clear: you can play a high school schedule and you'll get in.

Need the better wins to even give you a chance when you play so bad in conference

Absolutely agree with this. The problem is that they were still in the conversation. The human bias is still alive and well. This **** is only marginally better than years past. CTRL ALT DELETE and try again NCAA.

Before Clemson actually legally stole their spot, name the actual schools that are deserving over Ba**
