    Of course they can. But as long as the criteria to get in is subjective based off a committee, you’ll have coaches lobbying. Not sure what you want him to say.

    It was indeed pathetic but what he said was not incorrect. They would be favored over Ohio state and TCU.

    I honestly don't have a problem with coaches lobbying for their teams. However, I've never seen another coach given time at the break of a nationally televised conference championship to beg for a spot. Give the top coaches all a chance to beg. I don't care if Tennessee has an injured QB, let him have a national opportunity to beg too.

    Who cares if they're favored. They were favored over Tenn and LSU too.

    You could very well be right but that’s unknowable. And I don’t think that should be the standard because it’s just way, way too subjective. Fact is, they lost two games and their strength of schedule this year was relatively weak. That’s objective criteria. The whole “let us in because we’re Alabama, we play in a tough conference, and have been dominant in past years” shouldn’t cut it. I don’t blame Saban for doing what he did - I’d take advantage of the platform too if I were him. I blame Fox and the hosts who just tossed softball after softball at him.

    13th team, with an extra game to play would not be competitive. Feel good story, until they get rolled.

    Been wondering where the sec kool-aid comes from. Now we know. Guess what ? If 12 team playoffs were this year there would be several teams in with 3 losses before so called conference championships & several would be in after.

    Bottom line is Bama, TCU and OSU failed to take care of their business on the field. Now tgey have to rely on charity to get in.

    Concur. BAMA shouldn't bet in but what do people really expect Saban to say? Seriously, any fans would fry their coach for simply saying "we don't belong".
