Bama just soundly beat the #1 team in the country. They have proved they are 1 of the 2 best in the country. For those that think only conference champs should get into the playoff, this is why that thinking doesn’t work and never can work with only 4 teams. It simply doesn’t insure that the best team is included. Ohio St. (blown out by Iowa) would be in and Alabama would be out. End of story !!!
