Still time to delete.

That dropped pass on third down (sure TD) was the game changing play. 17 point to Bama swing since then

Ok qb not elite. Simpson really heating up. Was not fan of Simpson coming into this game, he is playing well. Ok weak at safety. Crazy game.

[Dish]

I think my awful take singlehandedly rejuvenated Bama.

[Captain Quette]

Dish, all good. Thought those chumps from s bend should've been in before bama.

No they shouldn't have. Alabama had wins at Georgia, Tennessee, and Missouri and over Vanderbilt. Notre Dame had wins over...USC and Pitt? The only case for ND is total losses, and Alabama only had more because they had to play in a conference title game.

[Captain Quette]

A decent call, but that was earlier in the year. They were awful and really not even competitive v GA in last game. Had minus 3 rushing. Not nd fan but they crushed teams down stretch.

They crushed Stanford, Syracuse, Pitt, Navy, and Boston College.

But they didn't lose to 5 win fsu.

The committee has always cared way more about who you beat than who you lose to.
The committee also focuses on three metrics: FIP, SOR and SOS. Bama was the only team in the country in the top 10 in all three.

[MU82]

Alabama beat several real good teams. ND lost to the only two real good teams they played. Easy call.

[jesmu84]

I always thought it was ND/Miami/BYU as last 3

[Shaka Shart]

Notre dame gave up 27 and 41 to these putrid displays of offense

[CreightonWarrior]

So glad we were blessed with a rematch of ole miss blowing out Tulane.

Saban may have had a point about auto-bids for G5 schools.

I like the idea of giving the little guys a chance. Unfortunately, they have no freakin' chance, so it just makes for horrible TV.

I'm no expert,  but I remember the FCS threatened moving its season to spring (damagingto FBS schedules and budget), and recently heard a P4 coach defend the Group of 5 bid(s) because the G5 could walk away from the P4 if they had no seat at the table. Maybe the P4 is walking a tight rope trying to keep this structure in place?
