These two polls effectively eliminated Alabama from the BSC game. They are in 4th place in both the AP and USA, but only a couple of points ahead of Missouri. This is bad news for Alabama fans. If Missouri beats Auburn in the SEC title game they will jump ahead of Alabama in all three polls. Of course if Auburn wins it’s over for the Crimson Tide even if Ohio State loses. So after being national champs two years running and being ranked #1 the entire year, it’s over for them except a bowl game, all because of a play you might see one time in 1000 football games. Can’t wait till next year when the playoffs start. I don’t like the politics played in college football.
I do think there should be a playoff in college. However, it will just change the politics from who should be #1 and #2 to who should be #4 and #5 for a spot in the playoff. You’ll never get the politics out of it entirely. Until there is a hard and fast playoff system like the NFL has, politics will continue.
And since the nuances of college football will never allow that, the debate will continue.
If it’s FSU-Ohio State in the title game, I won’t even bother to watch....the perfect ending to the suckiest college football year, ever.
