Not confused in the least. College Football is a business. Puting Bama in there was a bu$ine$$ decision.
No, it really wasn't. The much stronger argument is that putting a team from the Big10 in is a better business decision. If the choice was between UCF, which went undefeated, and Bama ... then yeah business decision to put in Bama. But that's not the case here.
There is no financial difference between OSU & Bama. They are both perennial playoff BIG time programs. Saban & Urban are the 2 best coaches in college football ... no one can argue that.
They both draw.

Why the committee's decision to leave out the Big Ten champ was right

I think Bama is a bigger draw than Ohio State.
Didn't Geogia get blown out by a two loss Auburn team a few weeks ago? But they still made the playoff because of body of work and winning conference championship. Just saying OSU should be judged same way.
They designed the committee to keep the sec from having two teams in the championship an low an behold ga an bama are in the playoffs an I don’t think Clemson or Oklahoma will beat either one so more than likely ga an bama will be in the national championship I mean the sec is the top conference in college playoffs

Georgia got blown out by a two loss Auburn team by 23 points, but are in the the playoffs.
Georgia has 1 loss & won the SEC Championship. Auburn was ranked #7 at the time. That's their only loss! Georgia has earned that spot.
Who won the Big10 Championship last year?

Again, your inexperience understanding college football is on display.
Keep ducking the question? Long term memory loss? Ahh, you just started watching college football last month? Yep, that's understandable.

Conference championships should mean something.( Not just for the SEC)Whether it's Penn State last year or Ohio State this year. Winning a Power 5 conference championship should trump teams that can't even make it to the game. That's why it should be a 8 team playoff. Too much SEC bias even when their conference as a whole had a down year with quality teams.
This particular year the SEC, as a whole, was way down. Florida, Tennessee, Mississippi, A&M, Vanderbilt, Arkansas, MSU, Kentucky, Missouri, and South Carolina weren't good football teams this year. The best team, arguably, Georgia, got blown out by a two loss Auburn team.
Alabama didn't even play the best team in the SEC this year.
Alright, it's still Autumn so LaVar Ball pulls his kid out of UCLA saying we was treated better in China. Why couldn't Mr. t have left him there!

The fact that Georgia, College Playoff bound, got beat by a stout Auburn team actually proves the opposite. It proves just how deep the SEC is, not it's weakness.
Paul Finebaum yesterday ....
“If Wisconsin would have found a way to win, it would have been criminal to put them in,” Finebaum said. “Listen, call me whatever you want, but Wisconsin would be lucky to be the fourth-best team in the SEC. They certainly wouldn’t be in the top 3.”
Where is this evidence of how strong the BIG10 is?
2015 College Football Playoff Big10 team: Bama 38 MSU ZERO
2016 College Football Playoff Big10 team: Clemson 31 OSU ZERO
Since 2000 Football champs by conference:
SEC: 9
ACC: 2
BIG12: 2
BIG10: 2
PAC12: 2
BIG EAST: 1
On the National scale if you look at college football geographically, like I do, you could roll the SEC, ACC & BIG EAST championships together. The southeast has won a National Championship in 12 out of the last 17 yrs.
Face it, it's a different game now. The days of NE, MI & ND running roughshod all over everybody are over. TX & FL are 2 of the most talented recruiting grounds. Ya think those kids wanna go play in the freezing weather ... nope! Nationally televised games have changed the landscape forever. It's not SEC bias .... it's fact!

College Football is the most difficult post season to get into. WE like it like that! Pro football allows more teams into the playoffs in a larger format. Good for them. If that's what you want, go watch pro football. Expanding the playoff ... making it easier to get in ... will not make it more compelling. It'll water it down. 5 Power Conferences & 4 spots to the playoff mean that only THE BEST teams will get in. The top 1% of 1% .... no participation trophies here!!!!!!!
Allowing in the top 5 of each conference & 3 at large bids is the easy, lazy, uncompetitive way to look at this. Which are the 4 best teams? If your particular team or conference isn't good enough .... get better!
Also, playing more games is a safety issue. How many flippin games do you want these guys to subject their bodies to? Do more games mean more quality games? I don't think so. Keep it at 4 teams & drop all of the ridiculous bowl games. The playoff & like 4-6 quality bowl games would be nice ...
