That's not a winnable argument because it is opinion

There are plenty of people who agree that Alabama shouldn't be in but there are also plenty of people who would argue about Texas/Vandebilt/BYU have arguments too re: ND.

Again, if Miami had always been ahead of ND, this all would be moot. It is the deliberate effort to essentially "lie" about where ND stood in all the rankings prior to the final one and the deliberate lame ass effort to bump up Alabama and treat BYU differently after a similar loss to make up for the fact they wanted an ACC team in the playoff.
