Bama's only good wins are Vanderbilt and Georgia, and Georgia just blew their doors off.
Right.

They're 1-1 vs Georgia.

Here's a fun idea...in their seeded order, just let teams 5-8 pick who they want to play.
Then North Texas gets to be in the playoff!

The unspoken answer is the Big XII sucks. 
Perhaps but Bama lost to 5-7 FSU by 2 TDs & at home to the Sooners and by 3 TDs in the CCG.Just how many provisions do they get ?

Alright, put some money down on Tulane to win.

They're not ranked behind 3-loss Texas, USC, Arizona, Michigan, and even Virginia for no reason.  They're champions of an inferior conference and played one big-boy team and got boat-raced.

Get 'em in the playoff!!!!
OK, then petition Florida to move to the AAC.

Does anyone actually think Tulane is better than Notre Dame?

I assume not.

But if you are arguing against Tulane, you are arguing against the regular season.

I'd rather the games have some stakes at the end.  And I'd also rather see the #5 and #6 seeds get rewarded this way.  I don't want to see the #5 team have to play a better team who underachieved.  I'm glad the CCGs were fun, and that Oregon and Ole Miss get a home game like this.

This is cute.  I don't like Alabama.  I like teams with good resumes.  I don't like giving the sisters of the poor a seat at a table they will never sit at the head of.  It's less ethical than excluding them.  They don't even get to imagine what could be.  They get a seat, immediately squashed, case-closed.

I think it's awesome Autzen is hosting a playoff game.  I'm not stoked that it'll be an early-Septemberish blowout kind of game.

And again, if they insist on letting G5 teams in, STOP RANKING ALL THE TEAMS!!!  Don't acknowledge the 24th-ranked team is in the 12-team playoff. 

Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain!!!

Texas lost to Georgia and tOSU on the road and they both(Bama) lost to FSU so that's a wash. So good to see the Horns get a seat at the Big Boy table

No, we are rewarding Oregon, while making the end of the season more entertaining

And again, if teams would prefer the easy playoff path, I assume the AAC would accept any SEC applicant on the spot

FSU missed a bowl by losing to Florida.
Texas missed the CFP by losing to Florida.

This.

I fear the balance between competition and entertainment is lost forever.
