Bama is going to wind up winning this damn thing, too. 

Take it to the bank!

IOhio State didn't get in for the same reason Penn State didn't last year. They lost a game by 30+.

If they had lost to Iowa by 1 or 2 points on a last second FG, they are in.

Won't matter because Oklahoma is winning it all. Baker Mayfield is playing some of the best QB we've ever seen. His efficieny numbers and QBR is through the damn roof.
I agree.  If Ohio St loses a close game they get in, IMO.

The OU offense against the UGA defense will be interesting.

As I said earlier, I think UGA has to keep OU off the field as much as possible.

If the Big Ten is serious about the CFP, the path is clear...

1.) Move back to 8 conference games
2.) No more road OOC games
3.) Bring back FCS opponents.

For all the talk, the committee clearly still looks at just how many losses you have.  Alabama doesn't have anything resembling a good win.  Hell, MSU has better wins than Bama does.

Herbie said that the committee made a statement. They sure did; the statement was don't schedule anyone in the non conference if you are in the SEC because being in the SEC is the tie breaker. 

Now, I'm happy tOSU is not going to face Clemson, but the look of this thing is bad.

Alabama scheduled a name program this year.  

The scheduling was not the issue.  

Wow, the opening line is Alabama -1 and Sooners favored by 2.5.

Kind of disappointing. Not much to complain about, but I do think if you let a nonchamp in, they should have a Hell of an argument, like OSU did last year. Alabama getting in because of their helmets, not anything they did on the field.

Agree with this. 
Only thing I’d argue against ou is long layoffs seem to effect offenses more than d. Not saying it will, but could. 
Uga and ou meeting for first time in the rose bowl. That’s awesome.

Bama also scheduled Mercer (so did Auburn!) and they only played 8 conference games.

Ohio State beat two teams in the final top 10 in UW and PSU. MSU will be ranked and Michigan is a very good road win too.

Bama does not have wins of the caliber. They just don't. Their best win is over an LSU team that lost to Troy.

ELA is right.

The playing field is not level right now. It is tilted toward the SEC because the SEC schedules FCS teams and is the only conference playing 8 conference games.

I have no problem with Ohio State not being in, as a standalone issue.  They had their opportunity and failed to capitalize.  

I do feel bad though that the big ten is not included when I feel like it is a really strong group of defenses especially.

That, plus, I think the committee is wildly inconsistent, looking back at OSU 2015.

So, three teams from three states in the Deep South, and Oklahoma, not really a media center.

This worry about who may watch is clearly not a factor.
I disagree. Bama is a helmet school with a national following. Same goes for Oklahoma.

I think OSU is paying for the B1G goose eggs the past two years too.

And the fault of losing terribly to a bad team.

Wait.  And Alabama, not Georgia, got the Sugar Bowl?
