[BamaDude]

Okay, I have to admit I'm bummed that Alabama didn't win the game last night; but if they had to lose, at least it was to a coach (Dabo Sweeney) and a program (Clemson) that I respect.

You cannot be Selected to play in a Playoff, that is called a Tournament. Teams Mathematically earn their way into a playoff. Just because the media calls it that does not make it so.

A Perfect Example is if the NFL this year was the NCAA, The Denver Broncos would have made the "Playoffs" over the Miami Dolphins.

Zeke's rushing yards in both the semi and championship games could stand for awhile

Except this is called the college football playoffs and they are selected by a committee. If you want to call up droider and use his contacts to change the name to "College Football Tournament" then by all means but until such time, selected to play in a playoff in this context is correct.
