Yes I'm wrong. I thought it was two for some reason. I'll take the ignorance hit on that.

Doesn't change my argument that you didn't win your division. You lost the Iron bowl and most didn't think you guys would be in.

TBH, I thought we were done after the IB. But after tOSU dicked around with Wisconsin in the B1GCG, I felt that we had a 50/50 shot to get in.

And we proved the committee got it right this time, unlike when they put (a non-division/non-conference winner) tOSU in the playoffs last year.

Of course we sweated it out, but the precedent for a non-conference, non-divisional champion making the playoffs was already set the year before.

Yes, our loss happened later in the season than Ohio State's in 2016, but to the committee that didn't matter.

Again, pretty much everyone involved, sans Danny Kanell, agrees the committee made the right decision.

You're all over the place in this thread.
You say Bama shouldn't have gotten in the CFP, you say they didn't deserve to be there yet you refused to name a more worthy and deserving team that should have gotten that #4 spot.

You go on to say Alabama is the best team in the country, "but they shouldn't have got in".... Then you list your reasons why they shouldn't have got in and frick it up by saying they had 2 losses. And you now change the narrative to "most Bama fans were sweating it out and didn't think Bama would get in."

You need to take several ignorance hits on this dude.
