Alabama is a lock for the playoff next year too

Based on this year, can just play a pure shit schedule, lose to the only good team and still get in.

I'm not mad Ohio State didn't get in, I am mad that Alabama did and the SEC has 2 teams. It is pure trash, there are a bunch of reasons why.

The SEC is pretty bad right now, not good enough for 2 teams.
Auburn SHOULD be ahead of Alabama, they just fucking beat them had a better season and they are left out because they had to play in the SEC championship, how the fuck is that fair.

It would be like if in 2011 if LSU lost to Georgia they put Alabama in the championship instead of LSU.

auburns out because they lost to lsu. at some point your losses have to matter. if auburn didnt lose to lsu they would be ahead alabama, and likely osu. and its not like alabama got in for their name only. vegas has them as 3.5 point favorites if they played osu. i bet it will be the same line vs clemson. the voters clearly dont think the big 10 is that good this year and the sec isnt bad as you say. georgia, alabama, and auburn could be the best 3 teams in the country.

Admittedly, our schedule is similar. Swap GT for Louisville. Our toughest games are also @ LSU and vs Auburn. However, SC and Florida are better than anyone else on Bama's schedule that is not a common opponent. Columbia SC is not fun to travel to early in the season.
