If Bama had one loss and a 2 loss got in you think Saban is not gonna explode.Is Bama better than TCU? I would say yes but they lost twice,close but losses. You have take care of business.
The criteria was set that teams needed to be undefeated to make the playoff and if not four then look at the one loss teams.No one was getting in with two losses.
At least when they go to 12 some of the “marginal” teams will be in,like Bama with two losses.
