Yep - 2017 BAMA
Best team in the country but not even the best team in their Division..... :thought
that was a fluke and one of the reasons i am a massive proponent of removing the divisions within conferences. turn it into a round robin style system that pits the two best teams via rankings/record. period.
while i see your point, and it is hard to argue against it, bama had one loss. it wasn't like they had lost to a bad team either. someone had to go that year and Bama made sense.
True - but the argument also involves the premise that BAMA sitting there with one loss did not play for the opportunity to have a second loss (SEC CG) like some others did. Add to it their loss was their last game of regular season.
BAMA could just sit out the CCG every year with this mind set and given they are a shoe in for the playoffs with 1 or 0 regular season losses.
