I guess we can finally concede the committee got it right

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.

They outgained 'Bama by well over 100 yards... at one point having a 438-150 advantage. I'd call that taking it to them and not think twice about that categorization. Heck, I don't think I've seen a single person that watched the game come away thinking Alabama looked like a better team.

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?
