Yeah, maybe.  TCU? 
TCU who just lost to crummy 3-loss Kansas State, from the weak and pathetic B12?



(see how easy that's going to be for the committee to justify?)

I also feel like Ohio State played very conservatively against Notre Dame,
Not really knowing how good they were and feeling like they had a pretty strong defense. Plus I think it threw them off a little bit because they had built a good chunk of their game plan around Jackson Smith-Njigba, who only had 4 touches before leaving the game.
if ND played OSU today, OSU would beat them by 3 scores. At least.

LSU making it a respectable game, but it's probably too little too late.

I can't name 9 teams I think are better than Bama.
no one said there were 9 teams better. 

But BAMA is in the same range as Tennessee, Penn State, and Washington. Top 10. Not the elite top 4 imo.

why not just kick the FG and take the points and make it a TD + TD/2pt game?

I never sh*t on Bama though. Only sh*t on LSU.

Bama is a solid top 10 team this year, but they aren't your typical Bama team. Not even close. They just don't have the DUDES they used to on the lines of scrimmage or the elite players at WR. Bryce Young is the best player in all of CFB and he just makes it work and gets them Ws.
They are more like top five.

you'd put jewelry box money on TCU against Bama?

LSU is not the #6 team in the country. They are the #14 team in the country.

And after today they'll be lucky to be like #22-25.
You're......special.

would you or vegas take TCU straight up over OSU?
I wouldn't
No, but again, that shouldn’t be the standard.  If TCU would have won today most of us (and Vegas) would still favor Bama, but no one would be clamoring for a 10-2 Bama to get in over a 13-0 TCU.  We shouldn’t be clamoring for a 10-2 Bama to get in over a 12-1 TCU either.

I don't know. To me, undefeated means something as do P5 conference titles. 

If TCU had won today they would be both undefeated AND a P5 Champion. Since they didn't, they are neither. 

When you aren't undefeated, all those close wins are a MUCH bigger issue to me.
