byu are getting screwed worse than anyone else but per the viewership graphics the playoff has room for at most 2 teams not in the Top 18 / 50% category ("brands that matter")
this year smu and boise/unlv most probably take those 2 slots
it's absurd that an 11-2 rig12 champion could be left out, and the brethren are behind the rig12 ccg winner
gump should be behind all of them
Alabama coach Kalen DeBoer joined the College GameDay podcast after the rankings were announced this week, and he shared his reaction.
“You don’t know,” DeBoer said. “It’s a hard decision I understand the committee has to make. I totally get it. Trying to balance everything. There are so many good teams in the country, not just the top but throughout. You don’t know how it’s going to come out. Certainly pleased and understand, I guess selfishly, from our end, where we feel we belong. Feeling that we’re one of those teams that should be in the playoff. A little biased of course, but also, stepping back and have some perspective with our kind of season that we’ve had, the teams we play, the wins we had in particular. I just really feel like we belong there and have that type of team that can go the distance given this type of opportunity.”
