Gonna leave a quick take on this...
1. The ONLY reason it is on TV is to stir up interest and discussion. I am really starting to think having the chair explain the selections is a bad idea...just give a written statement.
2. Any fan/media member/coach can find enough justification for their "bubble" team to be in or for a different team to be out.
--There simply is no comparing a Miami who has played one top 25 team (and lost) but beat up most of the rest of the ACC (with some help from the scripeys) to Bama who has played UGA/UT/Mizzou/SCe/LSU yet has ugly losses to OU and Vandy. Both have warts, both have good points...it is up to the individual (hence the committee) to determine which they value more.
3. Just like last year, the UGA fan in me absolutely hates the fact that Bama is backing their way into this thing...AGAIN...but I think it is the right call. The ONLY team in my humble opinion that has a legit gripe is Ole Miss...their wins are better and losses not as ugly but Bama has MORE good wins.
4. Now that all this crap is behind us, let's go whoop Texas's arse again and get some rest until New Years! Make Texas go win some tough games on the road for a change.
