Yes, for broadcast audience reasons, not playing skill.
A TCU win would give the team a big 5 conference championship. Bama couldn't even make it into the conference championship for a shot at second best.
Bama's like Georgia. They choked when it was all on the line. Unlike Georgia, Bama doesn't get a second shot (for all the good that will do the Dawgs.)
You can’t just look at losses. You need to look at wins too.
TCU would have beaten Oklahoma St. (19) and Oklahoma (3).
Alabama’s only good wins are LSU (17) and Miss St. (23) and Fresno St (25)
Bama should have lost the Miss St game...MS handed that win to Bama.
As much as I love my Buckeyes I don’t believe they are good enough to get in. They need an 8 team playoff....pure and simple.
What’s the matter, Alabama’s 24-7 win over Florida St.(3) not good enough for you?
No, it's not.
The first game of the year nobody knows who is good and who is not good. Florida St. being ranked 3rd for their first game of the year was just a guess. Turns out it was a very bad guess. They ended up losing to unranked - Louisville and Boston College (along with ranked - Alabama, Clemson, NC State and Miami). They had no wins over any top 25 teams. FSU was never the 3rd best team in the country.
Ha! Good one.
