2017 was probably the best CFP we've gotten, so I'll go there.

These make me not want to choose 2016.

I'd think a lot of people would like 2016, if for no other reason than we all got a "down goes Bama" moment. 
Like Ivan Drago getting a cut over his eye.  Bama's not a machine!  


Of course they go on to with the NC the next year, so...

That of course depends on one's perspective.
