The University of Alabama has the College Football Playoff Committee with a decision to make.
Alabama took down the No. 1 team in the nation for a Southeastern Conference Championship.

Georgia is the two-time CFP National Championship that had not lost in 29 games before facing the Crimson Tide.
Alabama defeated three teams in the CFP Top 25 rankings upon playing them, but its victory over the Bulldogs is the best on its resume. The committee makes its selection on Sunday for the top four teams, and the college football world is predicting if the Tide should get it. Some of the best personalities in sports media are debating on Twitter about whether Alabama is one of the best four teams in the country. We will see the committee’s response soon, but the best statements from the CFB world are below.
Texas is better than Alabama.
Texas already beat Alabama.
It doesn’t matter who Alabama beat, because TEXAS BEAT ALABAMA.
We don’t have to wonder nor guess. Just because your SEC friends don’t like the truth, doesn’t make it less true. pic.twitter.com/2BG9rKI8fw

Who do I think are the best four teams? Michigan, Alabama, Georgia and Texas. Who do I think will make the CFP? Michigan, Washington, Texas and Alabama – in that order. Who you got?

There is a zero % chance the SEC is left out, nor should they be.

And here’s the issue. If you believe an undefeated Power 5 champ can’t be left out, then you don’t want to pick the four best teams. It really shouldn’t matter what has happened in the past. This committee is charged with picking the best four teams TODAY!!!

Retweet to remind the #CFBPlayoff committee:
TEXAS BEAT ALABAMA.
TEXAS BEAT ALABAMA.
TEXAS BEAT ALABAMA.
TEXAS BEAT ALABAMA.
TEXAS BEAT ALABAMA.
TEXAS BEAT ALABAMA.
TEXAS BEAT ALABAMA.
TEXAS BEAT ALABAMA.
TEXAS BEAT ALABAMA.
TEXAS BEAT ALABAMA.
TEXAS BEAT ALABAMA.
