    I agree or can at least understand where you are coming from with a lot of this but the committee is obviously winging it and that's a problem.

    My link in my previous post is a pretty good read why putting Bama in is setting a bad precedent as far as conference scheduling and championship games goes.

    Even ESPN has the SEC Bias. According to their "misguided" FPI, here are the odds to win the Championship

    Clemson 23%
    Oklahoma 18%
    Georgia 24%
    Alabama 35%

    Clemson is going to beat Bama by at least 7 points, and there is no way that Georgia can keep up with Oklahoma's offense. All year long, the Sooners have destroyed top defenses, OU will best Georgia by double digits.

    Clemson will play OU for the title. Clemson is the only team that can possibly beat the Sooners. That game might go down in history as one of the greatest Championship Games in history, maybe even rivaling the Texas USC game. Honestly, as an OU fan, I don't know if they can beat Clemson.

    But I do know one thing. There is no way in hell that Georgia is the second choice to win the championship.

    I just saw, according to ESPN, Georgia has a 53 percent chance of beating Oklahoma, and Alabama has a 58 percent chance of beating Clemson.

    Man, I wish I was still living in California. I'd drive the 4 hours to Vegas and put a grand on each of those games, Clemson and Oklahoma.

    The SEC is NOT that good THIS year.
    Clemson beat Auburn, who killed Georgia and Alabama.

    SEC is overhyped per usual, this is why we had to have a playoff in the first place

    Of course ESPN has a bias. They have a big investment with the SEC in the SEC Network.

    Remember the days before the BCS? Remember the days before a 4 team playoff?

    People are always going to complain about the system. It will never be “fair.”
