Very interesting. I thought it was telling at the end where they pointed out the as the SEC rep, Stricklin was muted out for half the discussions.

Excellent article...

Just goes to show how difficult this is going to be to find 4 worthy teams. Going to have more than 1 or 2 teams crying foul now.

In the end they picked the right 4 teams and I don't think anyone else has a legitimate argument. Assuming all the favorites win this weekend, which was their paramater, Bama & Notre Dame are obviously in. Florida has played more top teams than anyone else and has only 1 close loss to a top team in a game where they committed 5-6 turnovers. They actually have the best resume of anyone when you consider strength of schedule. Oregon has only 1 close loss to a top team. Georgia would have 2 losses. Stanford has 2 losses. K-State had only 1 loss, but it was a blowout loss to a very mediocre team. Where this would have gotten tricky was if Ohio St. was eligible. Does the 4th spot go to Florida or Oregon? Florida has better wins, but Oregon has the impressive blowouts.
