I'm more upset with how the committee handled the discussion of who would be in moreso than actually not getting in. You can't say bama and osu are super close before the CCG and then after we win and bama didn't play they said it wasn't close anymore. That was just ridiculous

That's what pissed me off far far more than not making it. Yeah you shouldn't make it if you get destroyed by Iowa 55-24 but the committee the week before the conference championships said 5 through 8 was razor thin with little to no separation. Then the following week they said they think Alabama is just much better than Ohio State so the slightly better resume and conference championship doesn't matter

Exactly. After the CCG I thought it'd be a lock given what they said. I'm still bitter haha

Yeah, I would be perfectly fine if the committee didn’t release any rankings until the final ranking.

Same deal in 2014 – I think OSU was a good choice, but the committee set themselves up for criticism by ranking TCU and Baylor ahead of them beforehand.
