[QUOTE="Scioto, post: 4528744, member: 12310"] I’d say I was covering my bases. Some disappointment at the snub, but also acceptance of the reality. My issues are with the flawed system/Committee and it’s inconsistency that always seems to operate in Alabama’s favor or at least never, heaven forbid, against them. So it is written, so it be done. In 2014, TCU and Baylor are told “sorry guys, but we really need that 13th data point and Baylor you had no quality wins. You have to schedule better teams.” In 2015, Ohio State is told “sorry guys, like we said last year we need a 13th data point and you don’t have quality wins even though our eye test says you are one of the four best teams” (15 NFL draft picks). In 2016, Ohio State is told “no need for that 13th data point. You scheduled well and have a bunch of quality wins. You’re in.” In 2017, we are told, “forget 2015 and scheduling tough opponents and quality wins. Forget a 13th data point. You are Alabama and pass our eyeball test.” Also, last week we are told “there is very little separation between teams ranked 5-8.” Alabama doesn’t play. Ohio State does and wins. And then today Alabama is “unequivocally better.” Call me a stickler for consistency. [/QUOTE]
