The committee screwed us!

True.
And this year proves that last year's exception screwing FSU was for the benefit of a blue blood and not a philosophy change of ''choosing teams with the best chance to win''.
If Alabama were left out, how long do you think it would have taken for Sankey to issue a statement on the flawed process?
Something tells me he already had the tweet typed out, and was just waiting to hit the send button.
To quote from SDS column,
''If we flipped the situations, if Alabama was surging with South Carolina’s résumé, if South Carolina was recently beaten and had a head-to-head win over Alabama, the Crimson Tide would still be getting this spot.''
''If we flipped the situations, if Alabama was surging with South Carolina’s résumé, if South Carolina was recently beaten and had a head-to-head win over Alabama, the Crimson Tide would still be getting this spot.''
The committee has demonstrated, if Bama is on the cusp, they will figure out a way to get them in, prioritizing whatever metric they need to.
That is why the whole committee thing is totally subjective. They can put in whichever teams will bring the most viewers and justify it. Bama gets in because they are "one of the best 12 teams" and they can keep Carolina out because of head to head and having 3 losses.
My reply wasn't intended to be a referendum on the popularity of your opinion, nor an attempt to validate or invalidate it; it was exactly what it was - pointing out that the system allows for a team with an undetermined number of losses to get in through an AQ spot, regardless of opinions held by outsiders. In other words, it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks, they're doing it their way and everyone else can go pound sand if they don't like it.
That's all.
Mods - read through this guys posts and ban him. He's a POS troll. Nothing more.
It's hard to blame these taters for coming over here. I mean, I'm sure they want to know what it feels like to be a winner, but since they can't they at least want to see what it looks like.

He's been a troll here since Feb. 3rd, 2022. Every single one of his posts is nothing but trailer trash trolling. He's had his fun. Time to take out the garbage.It's hard to blame these taters for coming over here.

Sounds like she's proud to be a leg humper.
Oh well, might be her greatest achievement in life.
And tell that little girl I'm not her son - of that I'm sure.
She needs to get on back to the pound before someone puts her down.
Never should have gone away from them. As a fan I thoroughly enjoyed the BCS and never wanted it to go away. For whatever people thought the BCS wasn’t, at a minimum it’s better than a completely subjective group of people who seemingly change criteria, not just year to year but week to week.
You’re better off not caring at this point. Trying to invoke logic or consistency to the process is a fools errand. They chose who they chose.
No, time to create a real playoff where teams get in it by winning on the field in head to head competition. 8 12 team conferences that are geographically homogenous with 8 conference champions (each conference can decide how it wants to name its champion) playing in a three round playoff to determine a true national champion. No need for polls, committees, computers or any other subjective decisions.
The top level of college football is the only level of football where the champion isn't determined by a playoff where participants have to win on the field to get in said playoff.
Lots of valid points in this article.

SOS doesn't matter
Bama is not held to same standards
The committee had a goal and manipulated the ''data points'' to reach the desired outcome.
Column: The CFP committee could not care less about what South Carolina did this season
South Carolina didn't move up much in the latest CFP rankings. And there are plenty of problems with that.
Bama is not held to same standards
The committee had a goal and manipulated the ''data points'' to reach the desired outcome.
Been here longer than that. Way before the switch to On3. You must be a new fan. Just joined in October?
We have to leave no doubt. We got jobbed at LSU and really should be 10 and 2. Next year we need to leave no doubt. I know we talked for weeks about that winning out would get us there. When strength of schedule wasn't going to play a factor you knew our fate was sealed. Hope we can piece together a solid defense because as good as Sellers is going to be we could have a year like Rattlers final season with us. If we could
I belive that SEC bylaws require each member's football team to schedule a minimum of one non-conferece game vs a P4 member and/or ND. Another reason why UPC will remain on the schedule.
Exactly. If the Sun Belt champion (seeded #16) can beat the SEC champion on the road in a first round game, they deserve to move on,.
Y'all need to get off the "CFP committee screwed us" horse because it's dead.
I didn’t expect to get in. We lost two games against LSU and Al that we should have won. We basically handed them the Ws. Old’ Miss absolutely destroyed us. And we barely skirted by Clemson. Overall that was only a decent record.
I’ve been trying to move on but it’s so hard because the committee is telling us no matter what Bama will be getting in. My issue is if Bama is ahead of Miami then SC should be too. Our resumes are very similar but Bama got the H2H on us. The same reason they have Bama over Miami should be the same exact reason SC should be over Miami. It’s disgusting how the CFP treats Bama.
I would wait in proclaiming that it was Bama "no matter what" until we have the same record, the h2h and a better marquee win, and THEN don't get in over them.
Then I'll agree with you.
I didn't either, but not for those reasons.
I don't give 2 flips about USC getting into the CFP since it's been obvious for years that the invite list for the Invitational tournament is selected in advance, so it takes a lot to crash that party; but to characterize USC's achievements in that fashion, with just a few hand-picked results, is a disservice to them and what they've achieved this year. Their overall body of work (and especially the last 6 weeks) is far superior to some of the teams we are told are a lock for the tournament (plus one that may backdoor their way in with another reserved DEI slot).
Conclusion: their is no consistent, objective criteria applied to each candidate, because that won't yield the desired result. If you know you aren't on that list, why would you expect to hear your name called at "selection" time? The "process" is about as genuine as a Soviet or CCP election.
So, no; no expectations here.
I would agree with you if the committee didn’t tell us a conference championship(FSU 13-0) that had the best record last season wasn’t qualified for the playoffs because their last two wins wasn’t impressive enough. If we’re actually measuring teams by their play in late November then Bama shouldn’t be in over us.
I can see that, but is that what the committee really said, or did they blame the injury, and say FSU wasn't really the same team without the qb?
