Quote:It's not that I think UF is a playoff team. It's the logic the committee is using that is confusing. Based off of body of work the one loss teams that would qualify should either be Notre dame or UF. Both teams lost to teams in top 4. Alabama's loss to ole miss was a bad loss at home, a team that was beat handily by the gators. I'm no UF fan by any means but Alabama doesn't deserve to be in top 4 and this committee is showing a lot of bias in that pick.

I tend to disagree. I, personally, believe Alabama should be ahead of UF for two reasons.


One, as was previously stated, UF plays in the SEC East. The SEC East is the worst division in the Power 5. The East is 1-9 against the West (the lone win being UF over Ole Miss). I'm sure UF would be a 2+ loss team in the West and/or they decided to actually play an OOC game that was worth anything.


Two, for the most part, Alabama has looked like a top 4 team. Besides one game with a crazy amount of turnovers, they have looked great on offense, defense and special teams. (I don't think that is why they lost. I had lots of money on Alabama that game yet won a lot. How? Soon as I saw they weren't starting Coker I hedged my bet. That mistake lost them the game. It would have been very hard to bring ur team back from a 17-3 hole. Coker was able to bring the game to 6 points in just over half a game. But that's a whole other story.) Both polls, even though I don't pay much attention to them, have Alabama as the highest ranking 1-loss team. What I find more interesting are the computers ex. Massey, Sagarin, S&P+, FEI. These computers analyze so many factors I can't even begin to explain. Yet, all of these computers have Alabama at either 1, 2, 3, or 4. There's just too much consensus and too many favoring factors to ignore.
