Unworthy 4 seed Alabama, after beating #1 Clemson, is an early 4-point favorite over UGA.  

This goes to show that resume is PART of the selection process.  Quality of the team (coaches, roster talent, etc) is also a part of the decision.  This shouldn't be news.

So if Alabama loses 3 times they still get in? If Alabama played UCFs schedule it still gets in?

Resume should be priority 1, 2, 3.

Credit to Bama for taking advantage of their opportunity, one that wasn't given to 2015 for example. I mean if coaches, roster talent means something

Alabama is the team that gets mulligans.  Not sure that even Georgia, Auburn, or LSU would get the same benefit of the doubt.
This might be but the fact Bama presently puts more players in the NFL every year gives them the benefit of the doubt IMO

I know all of that....why are you posting?  I can share my opinion without being......I don't even know what you're doing.  All I said was that both defenses stunk.  I don't enjoy that type of football.  OH NO!  OAM opined!!!  Blast him!!!
It's like you're new to message boards or something. Yes, you're merely opining that the very sanctity and purity not the game of football is violated and tarnished every time two teams reach a combined score of 50 points. I'm opining that's kinda stupid. Differences of opinion, but that's what message boards are for.

I'll watch the FCS championship on Saturday, but my CF season is over.   From the BCS to the playoff, a certain conference gets the second chances others do not...
I've read all the excuses...  when a team loses, quality of wins, strength of conference, eye test...  whatever is needed to ensure someone gets in over others.   I'm not suggesting Bama is a bad team, but that resume at Wisconsin doesn't get them into the playoff.  And that is my problem.   Different rules for different teams.
Maybe this will force a 8 team playoff.... but this really is no different than the BCS beauty contest.
so I will vote by not watching.   Hopefully things change with extremely low ratings.

It isn't a conference thing. It's a helmet team thing.  There are still a lot of people who think Ohio St shouldn't have got in in 2014 or 2016. Teams like Ohio St and Bama get the benefit of the doubt.

I don't necessarily have a problem with Alabama being in the final 4 - the first 3 picks were cut-and-dry, but someone had to be left out.  OSU got beat by B12 champ OU - at home, and completely wet their pants @ UI.  Wisconsin couldn't get it done in the B1G CCG, but may have been able to sneak in had their schedule been tougher.  USC wasn't really all that close to a playoff berth to begin with, and it showed in the Cotton Bowl.
That said, Alabama's defeat @ Auburn does stick out like a sore thumb, but that's probably a game they'd like to have back.  AU is a good-but-not-great team.  They're terrific at home, but positively awful away from home.  Had the Iron Bowl been played in Tuscaloosa, the Tide would have rolled by 4 scores.
Georgia's a worthy foe and they may well push Bama, but in the end I think Nicky S. shows Kirby how it's done (and I also believe that Kirby will bring the hardware back to Athens one day, probably won't be this year).

Bama still didn't deserve to be in.

7-0 B1G!

Michigan will screw it up but 7-1 is still really good!

Hurst is playing and Peters is starting QB. If they lose to a mediocre Scar team that just fired its OC, will be a bit of an embarrassment IMO.
I think Peters has a nice game and Michigan wins. He needs to if he wants to hold onto that QB job going into 2018 bc Patterson is coming in hot to take that job.
Told ya.

Alabama definitely didn't deserve to be in.  All the things we want to see - great wins, conference championships, they didn't have.  But they got in because they are Alabama.  Which is great for them, not so much college football.  Not much point to playing out the season when half of it doesn't matter.

As an aside, is it safe to say that the upcoming title game will be one of the lowest-rated ever?

Unless u have a dog in the fight, my prediction is that non-SEC fans will likely be unhappy that an SEC team is guaranteed to be the national champion and won't really care about this one

I'll probably have it on in the background but definitely won't be watching every single play with the utmost of attention

I guess I'll be rooting for Georgia just for variety's sake .... also, that Bulldog mascot is a cute little guy (or girl?)
I don't think it will be THAT low rated.  When the BCS put Bama/LSU in I did not watch.  I just didn't care because I thought it was ridiculous.  
This time Bama and UGA earned their way in.  I want to see who wins.

UW's schedule was tougher than Alabama's, and UW won its division and played a very good team as a result.

People complaining about UW's schedule and not mentioning Bama's schedule are just being blinded by the helmet.

NOW

All that said, Bama is a better team than Wisconsin now that it is more healthy. If UW had all of the players it lost this year I think they could give Bama a game. Right now, nope. Bama would stymie them with that front 7, just like Ohio State did.
