But if you want to get a true analysis, you have to take a sociopathic look at it \u2014 you can\u2019t go with feelings or fall in love with brands.<\/p>\n<p>We also have to be able to separate the teams that are deserving compared to those who may be favored by Vegas on a neutral field. In the case of Ohio State when compared to some that were left out, they lost one time all year to the number two team who went undefeated in Michigan, when you look at TCU they lost one time in an extra game in overtime.<\/p>\n<p>Now compare those two teams with Bama \u2014 who lost twice, including a loss to a now four-loss LSU team \u2014 and their best quality win was against 20th ranked Texas, who TCU beat worse than Bama did.<\/p>\n<p>Now if Bama played TCU on a neutral site I would take Bama, but you can\u2019t make decisions based on hypotheticals when the most important metrics are so one sided.<\/p>\n<p>Some of you will be upset at these picks because your team didn\u2019t make it in. That\u2019s okay.
