No matter how you determine the national champion, the first one on the outside looking in has historically whinned about being left out. This playoff was originally set up to have the top four conference champions in a playoff setting. If Kirby wants to be in it, win the SEC championship. The players aren't being paid, we don't need to add more games to satisfy the whiners.
It makes me wonder what the purpose of the playoff is if it's admittedly not about matching up the four best teams?Like Zack Geld of CBS Sports Radio said last night that even though Georgia is likely one of the four best teams in the Nation, they still had their chance at the playoffs and they blew it.
Bama didn’t win the conference last year and they still ended up in the playoff. You can’t tell me there’s not a bias towards BamaNo matter how you determine the national champion, the first one on the outside looking in has historically whinned about being left out.

I disagree with this. There will always be an argument over the last team in to a playoff field voted on by a committee, just like there is in the NCAA basketball tournament... but the college football playoff has solved the problem of getting the "odd man out" in. We won't have a scenario again like Auburn in 2004, who went undefeated in the SEC but was denied a shot at playing for the National Championship. You can make a case for Georgia being in the playoff but if they are left out, they haven't been screwed. They had their shot at Alabama and lost.why not go back to the old system? The college football playoffs have solved few of the problems the proponents claimed.
Now it’s like the government argument. It doesn’t work right so we need more of it.
Didn't say anything about any bias, simply stated that the original qualifing step to the playoffs was that you had to be a power 5 conference champion. Thats why the big 12 had to put a title game in place back when it originated. I agree that there is a bias towards Bama and is pushed by the SEC office and their representative on the selection board IMO.Bama didn’t win the conference last year and they still ended up in the playoff.

And why not call a timeout when he saw that Alabama had dropped into punt safe and change out of it? Alabama had every gunner covered plus a safety in the middle on 4th and 11. It wasn't a situation where Alabama realized Justin Fields was in the game and sniffed it out at the last second. Alabama was playing for the fake all the way. That never had a chance.The worrisome part he is yet to admit fault. He still believes his fake punt call was smart.
