my friend, there is a factor that you are disregarding in your argument. hindsight bias. do you think the committee has a magic orb that can see the future? no, so you can’t use what happened in the playoffs to say that the committee was wrong to pick alabama. because they wouldn’t have known. you can say that they didn’t deserve to make it, but to say that the committee was wrong based on information they couldn’t have yet is just straight up foolish.
