That was a really good game. LSU should be the consensus #1 team after tonight.

Hey dbair, that looked just like a Big 12 game. Where was that SEC defense today?

To be perfectly honest, I don't understand the Tua hype.

And when Alabama wins out they will go to the playoffs. Because Alabama!
They are already talking this up. Despite the fact that they don't own a single win over a Top 25 team and likely won't be the SEC champs.

The CFP committee has said for years that conference championships are extremely important in determining who gets in. We'll see if they'll allow the PAC 12 or Big 12 champ in over 1-loss Bama.

Resume doesn't really matter. They say it does but it doesn't. All they care about is the eyeball test.

And prestige.

No matter how good a team and their resume is, they don't want a team in the playoffs who doesn't have a good national following. Mainly because ticket sales & TV ratings play into the decision making.....even though they'll never admit it.

Baylor & TCU got shafted by this bias in 2014 when they placed Ohio State in over both of them during the final ranking. The committee used the excuse of Ohio State having that "13th data point" & conference championship as justification. However to this day, I maintain that if that were Oklahoma and Texas rather than Baylor and TCU, Ohio State wouldn't have jumped both schools.

This is why it wouldn't surprise me one bit if the committee finds an excuse to shoehorn Bama into the playoffs over Baylor or Utah, if either of those teams happen to win their conference titles.

Agree. Bama has a place in the hearts of all pollsters because of their history and nothing could be more adverse to the CFP. That group should be based solely on what happened in the current season only. Past accomplishments be damned.
