Best explanation I’ve heard thus far:
Nick Saban on why Alabama should be in the Playoff: “Well, I think the whole goal is to get the best four teams in. And I think the committee should ask themselves if we played any of these teams trying to get in, would we be the underdogs?”
Maybe odub or pops could weigh in but my Michigan buddy, who is a degenerate gambler like those two (😉), said that he believed Bama would be a 9 to 12 point favorite over TCU and a 4 to 7 point favorite over tOSU.
FTR, he fvcking HATES Bama, Saban and the SEC in general.
