Scenario: Chaos ensues in the Pac-12. Florida State gets ambushed. It’s 11-1 TCU versus 11-1 Alabama for the fourth playoff spot. Alabama might deserve the bid, but the TSS editors agree: If the Crimson Tide get the nod, they need to get the nod because they’ve earned more on the field, not because the wear the Alabama brand name and carry the SEC label. Reputation-based, television-friendly selections that diminish a less prominent team’s body of work would send a chilling message through the non-SEC precincts of the college football community.

No photoshops or “college football meme” tweets will ever come of this. No, sir. Not at all. Ever. Nothing to see here.
