Stay one extra day on the business trip at your own expense?

Think the trip is too close to change schedule, but also, I can't really afford to, already flying out early to meet up with family before the business. Could become a real mess to try and change itinerary now. Just gonna have to find a good bar in the airport and hope to land in time to catch the end. It's the noon game I have the best shot at seeing the whole game :(

I actually would have put Bama in instead of SMU, because SMU has no quality wins. How did you really play your way into the field with zero top-25 wins and 2 losses? Bama did beat UGA & Mizzou. I would say having 2 more quality Ws would outweigh having 1 more loss. I guess the fact that SMU's second loss was in the ACC title game was a disadvantage since Bama had no title game to lose, but still, it doesn't excuse the lack of quality wins.

I mean, Indiana and PSU also got in with no good wins, and no one's batting an eye. Eventually losses have to matter.

2 more quality wins don't outweigh 1 more loss and getting blown out by an Oklahoma team that was missing it's top 5 receivers and couldn't functionally throw the ball.

You have a point. It does make it seem that 3 losses is kind of the new 2 - it used to be almost impossible to make the playoff with 2 losses in the past, as you'd have to have an overwhelmingly better resume otherwise to get in - now maybe 3 losses is the tipping point for at-large selections.
