Such dumb logic yea let’s use optics and narratives on who to decide who the best teams are why even play the games
They want it to be a beauty pageant.
I can't say that Bama isn't one of the top 4 teams, but I can't tell you what they've done to earn their way in.
When USC lost on Friday, everybody said they were eliminated. There's no argument. No begging and pleading. No fancy narrative. They are just eliminated. And they still have a better resume than this Bama team everybody keep whining about. Same with TCU. Even Tennessee has more skins on the wall.
They might be one of the best teams on paper, but the game is played on the field. A close win over unranked Ole Miss just isn't enough.
Edit: Even Tulane has a w over K State. That's a better win than Bamas best win
