(Roll Tide!
)
To be honest, I didn't expect this outcome, but am certainly glad for it (and think it the right call). Set BAMA aside (assume they had a couple more losses), who DESERVED the #4 spot? Not Ohio. Wisconsin deserved it more! Who had the better "eye test"? Imo, USC.
I think that BAMA outperformed this year... I thought it would be a down year (and it was!). If we can get healthy though, we have as good a chance of taking home the championship as the others. The teams seem more evenly matched to me this year than in previous years... but now that I have said that we will have two blowouts.
