Maybe, but the narrative is likely set - the cartel must protect Bama at all costs.
They don’t want to listen to Saban bitch and moan about the Cte. giving Oklahoma home field advantage in Dallas.
What the hell are you talking about? Alabama may or may not be the best team, it is clearly a top 4 team. Even using the old BCS computer model Alabama is there. If there are teams that probably don’t belong, they are Clemson and Oklahoma. How Oklahoma got elevated in the rankings after being beaten by TCU’s team (If you watched the game TCU made Oklahoma its bitch the entire second half with a third string quarterback and would have certainly won in overtime), but handed a victory by TCU’s coach, is a mystery. Clemson had a weak schedule and might not have even gotten by NC without a bad offsides call on the on-side kick. Ohio is a better team than either Clemson or Oklahoma, and a few others probably are, too, including Stanford.
