Alabama lost twice. If Alabama loses once, they get in, probably over Ohio State and TCU. Live by the SEC die by the SEC. SEC teams get the benefit of the doubt, even if they have a loss on their record, but they have to earn that by playing an SEC schedule. But you can't lose twice and still expect to get in. As you say, you earn your chance during the regular season and Alabama didn't do that.

Not sure if you’re agreeing or disagreeing with my post. I literally said that Alabama didn’t prove their worth for the chance to play in the playoff, so it doesn’t matter if I think they’d beat the other playoff teams.

Apologies. Your post made it sound like you didn't think TCU, OSU, and Michigan earned it.

Well OSU may be up for debate more than others. But no, Michigan and TCU have definitely earned it. I think that Alabama would beat them, but bama didn’t earn the opportunity.

I don’t like the “best team” debate. If on field results aren’t going to matter, why even play the games?
