Why did 11 - 1 Alabama get picked over 12 - 1 Wisconsin?

[Lance Armstrong]

Cant' find 4 deserving teams, so let's go ahead and add even more undeserving teams.

I agree 100%

 

[GoldRusher]

Not quite to the level of Baylor. BYU is generally a respectable team. It didn't help their cause that along with BYU being terrible, they avoided the top teams from the east. Wisconsins schedule was offensive this year.

Yep, I was in the middle of taking a shot at Baylor and got interrupted. Corrected.

Will Alabama be fully healthy come bowl season, or is it not known yet?

7 of the 8 starters that missed games this year are expected to play. The 1 missing of that group is Shaun Dion Hamilton which is a huge loss. Also doesn't count Hootie Jones, a DB who was injured against Auburn.

So 2 starters out, but lots of others will be back and hopefully healthy.

I'm not sure the Gophers are a true P5 team

Lol, maybe not, but they're better than Illinois and Nebraska.

Outside of one safety who went down in the Iron Bowl, we should 100%.

12-1 is not deserving of a shot.... ok

On their SoS, it was not.

A Bama fan should not bring up SOS.

A Bama fan should not bring up SOS.

His team was #4, he clearly isn't trying to defend bama by saying "we cant even find 4 deserving teams"

 

[4down20]

A Bama fan should not bring up SOS.

Why? It was better than Wisconsin's and that's while pretending the FSU team Alabama played was the same FSU team that went 6-6.

Polls are wrong.
Playoffs are fixed.
Post season awards are crap.
Networks are bias.
Everyone but Washington cheats.

-OP-

Over and over and over.

wow nobody can give a legit answer as to why bama was chosen over wisky, it's because ESPN told all of us that Bama is good and wisky was overrated.

Easy - Because most 'experts believe that Alabama is better.

That about sums up the thoughts of Hoop posters.

Add that all commenters suck to the list though.

 

[outofyourmind]

All Wisconsin needed to do is beat Ohio State to get in.
Instead, they looked like TCU

The French Beauty Pageant playoff judge thinks that Nick Saban looks better in an evening gown.

Or whatever reason the 13 old farts on the selection committee thought up.

Cut OP some slack, Winter came to Alaska early and he is clearly getting an early dose of Cabin Fever.

At this rate, I can't wait for some of the mid-February paranoid delusions.
