Gotta say I've appreciated how ESPN handles these CFP selection shows. They don't string you along any more than they have to.

IDK, really shouldn't take this long to put together graphics when you know 3 teams. Make like 5 different pre-set graphics and you are probably good to go. Maybe they are lying about that part?

It should be USC at 4 since they won their conference and their two losses weren’t blowouts against 7-5 teams. They’ve got ups on Bama and OSU

I mean, sure, but considering this is a three hour show at least they're getting them in within the first half hour. Same has gone for the weekly show throughout the year.

I like the argument that if you’re gonna let Alabama in because they only have one loss, you should let Wisconsin in instead.
There's no great option here; everything is bad

An Alabama team that hasn't looked great and got pushed around by Auburn
An Ohio State that lost by 31 to Iowa, and also got manhandled by Oklahoma
A Wisconsin team that lost by a touchdown to that Ohio State team
A USC team that got blown out by Notre Dame and lost to Wazzu, with no real significant wins against anyone but Stanford

I have a big problem with the Ohio State thing because I don't assume they would lose the playoff games, the Iowa loss can't happen to a team that wins a College Football National Title that season.

Alabama played a soft as gently caress schedule and lost against its only competition.

So did Wisconsin.

Hot take but if you don't even qualify for your conference title, you shouldn't be considered for the national championship.

I don’t think they’re very good this year but now Bama is going to win it all because that’s what happens when they get second chances.

Let this be a lesson, if you're a blue blood program you shouldn't schedule anyone with a pulse. Why Michigan started the Notre Dame series back up with a 9 game conference schedule instead of just pounding on an FCS team is beyond me
