Message boards are message boards. You choosing to waste your time on your favorite team's message board isn't really any different than me doing it on another. I'm going to assume by the red herring that you lack an intellectual, tangible point in response to the actual topic, or else you'd have led with it.

I guess we can finally concede the committee got it right

Its all about the money. There is no way they were not going to cook the outcome so the major media conferences were represented. Had to take a Pac10, Big12, SEC and a Florida team. TCU should have been a candidate, but they don't bring the dollars. They have to take at least 8 teams to a playoff. At least there will be room for non-media market contenders. Otherwise we will see the same mix pretty much year over year.

It actually is quite different.
I thought Ohio State deserved to be one of the four and said that multiple times. I just found your need to defend Ohio State's selection on a UConn message board to be especially pathetic.
Lecturing UConn fans that they are allowing bitterness to ruin their chance to enjoy Ohio State.... what a collossal .
Chill out whaler. Kyleslamb has always been a decent visitor here.

If that kid leads Ohio St. To the title, how the hell does he go back to bench?

The biggest problem with the committee was releasing rankings every week. Ratings wise, they were a hit, but people never got that they re-evaluated the entire body of work each week. TCU didn't do something in the final week to "drop" two spots. When it came down to decision time, Ohio State had a hair better body of work. That's it. If anything their biggest question was having TCU at 3 that prior week. Regardless, 4 to 5 is always going to be splitting hairs. Sucks for TCU this year, but... Be better.

Pretty sure you won't find anyone that will say "Alabama was out of this game" either? Try to read that again - "They were never out of it". Were they?

No way you give teams a bye if and when they go to 8. Having to step up and win just like in the NCAA hoop tourney is what will draw the viewers and why the first true playoff Final 4 went so well. No one ever really knew who was the best team many times in the past because they were anointed. The SEC was always the best conference even though they never play away games up North. The game can't be rigged anymore. Hoorah!
Where is it written that 'taking it to' (Bama) and Bama 'still being in the game' are mutually exclusive?
