I am relaxed.  Alabama is out.  I am extremely confident about that. So are virtually EVERY CFB on FOX and ESPN. 
never under estimate the power of the Tide

dont agree nobody wants TCU to trash up the joint

If they lose they are gone
Repeatedly being wrong is still....wrong.
This isn't some G5 program trying to get a seat at the table.  TCU has a tougher SOS than the teams around them in the rankings and would have 1 fewer loss than Bama.

1997 pretend 12-team playoff:
.
8 Washington State vs
9 Ohio State................winner vs 1 Michigan
.
5 UCLA vs
12 Syracuse................winner vs 4 Florida State
.
6 Florida vs
11 Penn State..............winner vs 3 Tennessee
.
7 North Carolina vs
10 Kansas State...........winner vs 2 Nebraska
.
Big East champs Syracuse had 3 losses.
6 seed Florida actually beat both its 1st and 2nd round opponents in reality.
1 seed UM beat either team it would face in 2nd round.
UNC-KSU game might be first-to-10 points wins.
3 and 4 seeds' only losses were to Florida.
First team left out of playoff:  12-ranked Georgia

1973 Fictional 12-team playoff.  Why 1973?  It was the ultimate 'blue-blood' season - 7 of them finished the regular season with 0 or 1 loss.
.
9 UCLA @ 8 Texas......................winner vs 1 Alabama
12 Nebraska @ 5 ND...................winner vs 4 USC
11 Texas Tech @ 6 Michigan.........winner vs 3 Ohio St
10 Arizona St @ 7 Penn St..........winner vs 2 Oklahoma
.
conf champs in bold
OSU and UM tied in final regular season game, OSU voted B1G champs

He is entitled to his opinion, you are entitled to state yours and back it up if you wish.

This isn't something completely quantitative, it's judgment, which means opinions can and will vary.

I should note that English is my first language.

Trivia question:  Who was the last national champ to NOT win one of the 4 major bowls (Orange, Sugar, Fiesta, Rose) in their NC season?
