This probably didn't need its own thread but I didn't know where to put it. As far as I'm concerned, at this point in the season with 9 (10 including Houston) still undefeated teams left, you AUTOMATICALLY give up your claim to the top 4 if you have a loss. The top 9 here all have a claim to the top 4 and can all be pretty much interchangeable at this point. They've all earned it with unblemished records.
Alabama and Notre Dame in the top 5 is completely ridiculous at this point. The committee seems to have completely ignored the single most important criteria (wins and losses) for those 2 teams. I know that it'll probably work itself out but I find the inclusion of those two teams in the top 5 mind-boggling.
