I suppose I am naively thinking the committee has no such motivations.  None of them are vying to stay on the committee or try to favor something to remain or get paid more.

We'll see in a few short hours, I believe.

I'd be pleasantly surprised by the committee, if they can resist the temptation to include Alabama.
I’ve actually been pleasantly surprised I haven’t heard a lot of campaigning for Bama to get in (other than Saban). Joel Klatt was pretty dismissive of Bama’s chances last night.  Heather Dinich wrote an article this morning comparing resumes and concluded TCU will probably get the nod.

Like you said, we’ll see in a couple of hours.

What would be the motivation by the committee members to include Alabama?  Saban's "speech"?

I doubt they care, at all, about Alabama.

But Joel Klatt is Fox's ANTI-SEC mouthpiece, and therefore anti-Alabama.  I'm not saying I disagree with him, I actually like his commentary and his alternative views, but he clearly has a Fox-led agenda to campaign AGAINST any additional SEC teams' inclusion in the CFP.

Who has been pushing for Bama aside from Saban in the media?

Paul Finebaum rips Nick Saban for lobbying for CFP spot: 'His arguments ... are as inconsistent as his football team' (saturdaydownsouth.com)

Finebaum has Georgia, Michigan, TCU and Ohio State making up his Playoff field, as do many analysts and fans around the country.

Will that indeed be the field? We’ll have to see on Sunday at noon Eastern time when the final top 25 CFP rankings are released on ESPN.

I wouldn't have too much of a problem if the committee put Bama on top of tOSU last week.But neither team played so that would be flip flopping and IMO they can't remove TCU as they won conference.So the Buckeyes would be the only one being jumped and that would be a PR debacle.

if I saw someone that looked like that with that look on their face in public I'd run in the other direction. this dude is looooney tunes.
According to a joint report from NFL insiders Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero, multiple NFL teams have been conducting background work on Harbaugh for potential jobs. And while Harbaugh said he intends to remain at Michigan after NFL flirtations last season, one source believes the right job could entice Harbaugh.

From the report:

One NFL source plugged into the situation said they believe Harbaugh would consider a return to the NFL, and a source with another team that could be running a head-coaching search said they believe Harbaugh would discuss an opening if asked and weigh the right situation.

Big deal ESPN had 4 SEC teams in the top 4 midway thru the '14 season and 3 of the 4 fell off the radar except for the Tide.Almost like political bickering.

I think it's pretty clear it'll be 3 TCU and 4 OSU, possibly reversed.

This year I don't think BAMA would bring much. TCU would bring the "eyes of Texas"
