Bama lost to a worse Florida St team though
Bama only lost 2 regular season games (not 3) and beat Georgia instead of getting abused by them.
With that said, I personally dont think Bama should have been selected. Would have preferred Vanderbilt even though Vama doubled them up. Hard to argue ND had a more difficult schedule.
Their argument is that if they had played Texas Southern instead of Ohio State, they would have been 10-2, and then they would have clearly made the playoffs. I'm not prepared to concede either point. Iron sharpens iron, and playing OSU almost certainly improved the sips. Had they played The Little Sisters of the Poor instead of Ohio State, they might have lost the Mississippi State and/or Kentucky game. And then there is the issue that their strength of schedule would have clearly taken a hit. But if they were sitting at 10-2 alongside Bama and Vandy, would the sips have been the one to make the playoff? Maybe. But right now, Bama is more of a "blue blood," and Vandy has the better Cinderella story. I think they likely still would not have been the fifth SEC team to get in. But we'll never know for sure.
What we do know for sure is they are embarrassing themselves on a national level right now acting like whiney tiddybabies.
