Ohio State plays in a weak confrence and always gets their ass kicked in the playoffs.
Yep

Like I have been saying all day, when it comes down to it, the committee will ignore all of their supposed criteria and "do what they know in their hearts is right".
Yep, once again, AL will be one of the 4 teams in the playoffs.
OSU, LSU, AL & one more YTBD.......................

I'm not quite sure how this will help me sleep, but believe me, if it would I would be very grateful. It might be interesting to point out that I have been an Ole Miss fan ever since I first was first old enough to understand football (1950s). I have based their performance, either successful or (lately) not so successful on what they themselves do, not on what other teams do.
As to today's game, all that it did was to reward the team that lost (Alabama) with an extra week to rest, heal, and prepare before the play-offs, while penalizing the team that won (LSU) by forcing them to play an extra (unnecessary) game before getting ready for the play-offs.

Not only a less than minimally educated person, but stupid and out of touch as well.
The pre-season rankings are bullschit and basically pave the way for more bullschit.
Without rankings, how would you determine a champ?
Do (some) conferences pick who is ranked to win the conference or do they play in some organized schedule? Said another way, how are you a not a conference champ, yet you are a national one? Makes no sense, unless of course you have a vested interest in the ranking system, which a lot of people do. Traditions haven't changed, primarily being the sporting information entities that declared national champions in the past and continue the same convoluted system with rankings.
The majority of people enjoy the hype and the hoopla of the rankings almost more than the actual games and at times ignore the actual games played.

I dont think rankings hurt anything, but I do agree (if I understand what you are saying) that conference champs only should be in the playoffs. But then you need some sort of rankings to determine which conference champs would make the playoffs. I readily agree that it's not a perfect system and unless you go to a bracket system with all 130 teams (you lose, your out) playoff system, it never will be perfect.

My take.......Bama has the best team, LSU has the best QB. I like Tua, but I'd take Joe Burrow over him any day of the week.
Bama has been on top of the heap so long, that they have a good portion of the best players wanting to play for them. They have the most 5 star players of any team in the country. Lying Nick Saban is a good coach and recruiter. However, like you said, I think Burrows is the better QB.

Yes, it's entirely possible that GA could beat LSU, & if Clemson wins out, they would likely put AL in & leave LSU on the outside looking in.
AL really doesn't have to do anything but win their remaining games & they'll be in; whoever loses the SEC championship game will surely be out.
