I'm not saying it would be kryptonite to Alabama but I'm using it as an example to the superior pro game. If you want to win a Super Bowl, you better be able to win anywhere.

This playoff is no different than the BCS. It is a beauty contest to get in. It is a ridiculous farce to have two teams from the same conference regardless of how "good" the team that couldn't win its own division seems to be.
It is the same bullshit.I feel like I am watching the destruction of our democracy while my neighbors and friends cheer it on

The ridiculous farce narrative would be emboldened had those two teams from the same conference not advanced to the championship game.
I am sure that we are now headed for an 8-team playoff. Guaranteed spots for the 5 conference winners, one from the G5, one wildcard, and Bama (of course)."The problem with quotes on the Internet is that it is sometimes hard to verify their authenticity." -Abraham Lincoln

It is no different than the SEC's run during the BCS. If it is pre-ordained that you are going to get a team (and sometimes two) in the championship game (and it was) there is a pretty good chance that you are going to win some championships.
It was a bullshit rigged system and still is.I feel like I am watching the destruction of our democracy while my neighbors and friends cheer it on

It was a bullshit rigged system and still is.
We have had the polls, the bowl coalition, the bowl alliance, the BCS, and now the CFP. Each system had controversies. And when we go to 8 teams (which is now inevitable) we will have the same thing."The problem with quotes on the Internet is that it is sometimes hard to verify their authenticity." -Abraham Lincoln

Out of Saban's last 10 years at Bama, we have only lost 3 games once.
But sure, with an 8-team playoff, you will have 2-loss teams in. We have not had a two-loss team in the playoff yet, but we were pretty close this year."The problem with quotes on the Internet is that it is sometimes hard to verify their authenticity." -Abraham Lincoln

We would have had a 2-loss team if they were from the SEC. Duh. No other conference can out in a 2-loss team. Period.
Instead, the team that railed the two teams in the title game lost a third and was this forced to get railed by UCF.Dan Patrick: What was your reaction to [Urban Meyer being hired]?
