The committee, abandoned on the field results and abandoned its job of evaluating such in favor of playing swami or pundit. They abandoned objectivity as to who earned the spot in the playoff and instead substituted their own subjective and biased criteria of who they think would play better. For the record, I think Alabama will play better but that doesn't mean they earned their way in. And if anything regarding FSU, winning with their second string, and then third string QB should have enhanced FSU's chances, not decreased them. And to do this all on the claim that the "best" team should go instead of the most deserving is a false dichotomy used as an excuse. The whole season is supposed to matter. But it doesn't. They wanted Alabama. They rationalized it. And College football is the worse for it. Although I suppose we should thank the committee. For proving yet again what a biased and corrupt process it is and always has been. College basketball is the same when it comes to the selection process. But at least in that sport there are enough participants in the tournament that we know neither the last team into the tournament, or the teams that got jobbed were going to win it anyway. Until CFB has required scheduling (like the NFL) and objective criteria and tie breakers for getting into the playoffs (like the NFL) or has enough participants in a genuine playoff to know that neither the last teams in or the team that got jobbed were going to win, CFB's national title will always lack credibility.
In none of the 4 major professional sports in the U.S. is the team right now any criteria whatsoever to get into the playoffs. All the criteria are published, known before the season starts, and applied. As for schedule, that so called weak conference went 6-4 vs the SEC. The ACC is also 10-9 vs the other power 5 conferences, the SEC 7-9. Speaking of schedules, Georgia? Should be upset? That's funny. Georgia has no legit argument whatsoever. Their schedule was a complete joke and everyone knew it going in. Let's have a look at Georgia's road schedule shall we? @Auburn,
@tennessee, @ Ga Tech, @Vanderbilt. HAHAHA. Complete joke. Let's look at Georgia's OOC shall we? Ball St., UT Martin, UAB, @ Ga Tech. HAHAHAHA. Joke. In conference they got to skip LSU (Whom Florida St. demolished and one of those tough opponents Alabama fans keep talking about) and they got to skip Alabama until the title game which they lost. Georgia's best win is Missouri, who themselves curiously got to skip Alabama and Ole Miss but whom LSU beat. Aww and therein is the SEC's dirty little secret. That so-called gauntlet isn't really a gauntlet when many of the better teams never have to play each other. Further, the SEC schedules such that said games aren't back to back. The SEC conveniently let Alabama schedule OOC powerhouse Chattanooga the week before their rivalry game. Tennessee and LSU back to back is decent. Oh wait. They got a week off between those two games. And conveniently, they got South Florida in between Texas and Ole Miss. But back to Georgia. They have no legit argument. None. Everyone knew that Georgia had to run that schedule including the SEC title game. Even Georgia knew it. And none of us that knew it turned out wrong. Sure Auburn wasn't as good as we thought and Missouri was better. But in total, that schedule was still nothing to write home about. And they didn't run it.
In baseball tie goes to the runner. In the CFB selection process, tie goes to the SEC, unless it's Bama. With Bama it's well the runner was within 5 feet of first when the first baseman caught the ball and stepped on the bag so let's give em the hit anyway. It's easy to win a lot of national titles when you're getting in all the time with preferential treatment. And it's easier to not play tight and win during the season when you know you've got a cushion to drop 1 than when you don't.

Being lazy and not looking it up, is that real?
