I'm pulling for Washington the most. I'd just be happy seeing Bama not win, but this might be the best team Saban has had
The playoff system while obviously better than the BCS is still flawed. I still think the games will be good but this year makes as good a case as any that they need to expand. Until then there will still be teams that get 'left out' and honestly we'll be missing some possible amazing matchups. That's the saddest part of it for me.
It just blows my mind that you think two losses don't matter. One of those losses was by 39 points. When was the last team that played for the National Championship have a 39 point loss on their resume?
Probably not the last one to go on to win 9 in a row afterward including the Big 10 Championship? At the same time I can understand someone focusing on the 2 losses versus just one but some teams definitely improve and sometimes drastically as the season goes on. To me it's almost like pro baseball and football where imo they at least deserve a wild card. Ohio State lost to 7-6 and very unranked Virginia Tech the year they won it all with a freshman qb no less and no one probably saw them coming back and winning the national championship. It's not so cut and dried imo.
Losses have to mean something. If they didn't, Oklahoma should have gotten more consideration for a playoff spot.
