I think you owe the committee. An apology. In writing would be great thank you
When teams meet twice in the same year they almost always go 1-1 against each other (unless one team is substantially better than the other). History has shown this to be true over and over. It would have been against the norm if Alabama hadn’t won the rematch.

The committee still made the wrong choice.

Maybe Notre Dame will join a conference next time.

The committee wanted sec schools, just curious would have Oklahoma made it in if they were in the big 12? It should have been Notre Dame and BYU instead of bama and Oklahoma

Bama just won the first playoff road game. Pretty cool. BYU should not have been in the playoff by any measure. I do feel like ND should have been in over Bama. No idea if they would have won on the road. As another stated, it’s hard to beat a team twice, especially if you’re equal talent

Bama coach looked at the Bama message boards at half time and saw all those "fire the coach" comments. Looks like he took it to heart in the second half. ;)

Seeing Miami players getting tripped up in open field looked all too familiar

I like defense but this is offensive and special teams ineptitude far more than world class defense. Another terrible game, so far.
These are not great defenses either. Arkansas scored 42 on A&M amd fumbled at the 3 yard line with about a minute to go.

I expected 24 + from Miami.

Miami kills a great scoring opportunity with another goofy trick play, and the kicker craps the bed again. Not sure anyone deserves to advance from this game.

Doesn't always mean anything.

Arkansas and ND both gave up 40+ to A&M.

Units develop as the season goes on, see Ohio States offense last year.
