Or six...

That ain't us. It's some clown politician who is getting absolutely roasted by Ohio State fans.

Tomlin QBs - Big Ben, a succession of guys named Mason Rudolph, what's left of Russell Wilson. McCarthy QBs - Brett Favre, Aaron Rodgers, Dak Prescott. Reid QBs - Donovan McNabb, Michael Vick, Alex Smith, Patrick Mahomes Dungy QBs - Trent Dilfer, Peyton Manning.

Exactly. The same people longing for the days of the BCS were probably advocating for a playoff back in the BCS days. The BCS wasn't good. There were just as many, if not more, arguments about who got screwed back then as there are today.

Brad Johnson was better than people give him credit for. From 1999 thru 2003 he was a good QB. Gruden also had the luxury of knowing exactly what the Raiders were going to do for the entire game in the Super Bowl because Bill Callahan was an idiot.

I respect the hell out of both of you, but you guys are in the weeds on this one. You left out a major component in the Reid and Dungy moved on and won comparison. What did Dungy and Reid have that Tomlin doesn't? Two of the best QBs to ever play the position. Do either of you think that Tomlin is still sitting at one Super Bowl win if he has Manning or Mahomes at QB? This Steelers team has what's left of Russell Wilson, a WR who's as into fighting as he is catching passes, a good defense, and not much else. Again, all due respect, but neither Reid or Dungy are getting this Steelers team to 10-3. In my lifetime, the Steelers have had three head coaches and they've won six Super Bowls. I'm giving the organization the benefit of the doubt on this one. Tomlin gets to stay until he decides it's time to leave.

I am thrilled to be wrong about this.

SEC+ESPN Contract+TV Ratings = off, SMU. Enjoy the Pop Tarts Bowl. It's bull, they all know it and we all know it, but they'll still find a way to make sure Alabama gets in somehow.

The Pac 12 wasn't exactly a crucible.

I'm not telling you anything honestly or otherwise. I'm just telling you what I think the committee will do. Alabama shouldn't be in, but I don't get to make that call.

First year watching the College Football Playoff Committee?

You were a lot funnier when you were alive, Norm.

I hope you're right, but we've been here before - take last year for example. If the committee can find a barely plausible reason, I think it will screw any team necessary to make sure their beloved Tide gets in. I'll believe Alabama isn't in the playoff when the first round of games start and Alabama isn't on the field in any of them.

Translation: Alabama is in no matter what. off if you don't like it.
