Notre Dame has the best resume of everyone except the team that beat them.

 

This we definitely can agree on. Also I think they might be better than most people think. The NC State win was

So are you saying that Bama is getting the benefit of doubt if they are in the top 4 tonight. With your stats; Bama should be hanging around 10-15. I'm saying OSU gets the benefit of the doubt because they continue to be ranked ahead of teams that beat them in head to head games even if they both have the same record.

And Bama keeps getting the benefit of the doubt for being undefeated despite only playing 1 P5 team with a .500 record and only winning by 8. I get Bama can't control their schedule, but neither can Wisconsin and none of us expect Wisconsin in the top 4 much less potentially number 1. So yeah I agree OSU gets the benefit of the doubt. But to act as though putting Bama at #1 isn't relying on past seasons is simply ridiculous. OSU would also be undefeated still having played Bama's schedule so far. I guarantee nobody would be calling for them to be ranked ahead of UGA.

Bama keeps getting the benefit of the doubt? Since the playoffs started, only one team has been included that didn't win their conference and it wasn't Bama....:idunno:

I don't doubt that OSU receives the benefit of the doubt... It's just not to the level Bama gets.

1. Bama

1a. Georgia

3. Notre Dame

4. Toss up, but I'm guessing the committee goes Clemson.

And yet they're the only team to get in the playoff without winning their conference title.

That’s gonna come back to bite your SEC bro’s this year. Either Alabama or Georgia will eliminate each other.

Bama hasn't had the opportunity for the situation to arise.

I don't think that's true. Everyone would be calling for OSU to be number 1.

I fully expect only one of them to make it.

No chance. With Georgia also being undefeated and having the best win of the season so far? No way OSU would get the nod at #1. I believe Bama won't get the #1 spot tonight either, but no one would have OSU in that spot.

You are correct unless several top teams lose 2 games.

I'm having fun with GrantKNY. I don't think it will come to that by the end of the year. Both Bama and UGA have to go to Auburn, one of us won't make it out alive; I just hope Bama does.

Only way I see it happen is if multiple Power 5 conference champs have multiple losses.

I hope you're right
