CFP is A-OK

... and, yes, I know, Alabama blah-blah-blah and Nick Saban blah-blah-blah and the Crimson Tide would beat TCU, that fraudulent high school team, by 50 or 100 or a gazillion points.

Blah-blah-blah. Blah.

Truth is, the College Football Playoff people did the honorable thing here, choosing not to screw TCU even though the Horned Frogs gave them an out. They went 12-0, winning every week as folks kept saying they were gonna lose this time, and then lost in overtime in the Big 12 title game to Kansas State, itself a top-ten team.

So it was right there for the CFP, which was (the Blob senses) looking for any excuse to cast the Frogs into outer darkness.  And then the Frogs gave them that excuse.

Two-loss 'Bama eagerly waited in the wings. 

And they'll stay there, because the final verdict is this: Georgia, Michigan, TCU, Ohio State.

Of the four, Georgia clearly seems the overwhelming favorite, because everyone else looks a step slow by comparison. They rumbled through their schedule like a Sherman tank, mashing everyone they played by at least 10 points except for Missouri. The Tigers were the Bulldogs' only close call, a 26-22 verdict in which Georgia trailed 16-6 at the half and 19-12 after three quarters.

Then they revved up the tank and rolled over Mizzou 14-3 in the fourth quarter to avoid the upset.

Now they get Ohio State, last seen getting trucked by No. 2 Michigan in Columbus. And Michigan gets TCU, whom almost everyone in America thinks is a massive fraud who'll be embarrassed by the Wolverines 52-7 or some such thing.

The Blob's brazen take: We'll see.

As will Alabama, which shouldna oughta lost two games if it wanted in on the party -- including a loss in overtime to LSU, which went on to get splattered 50-30 by Georgia in the SEC title game.

Imagine what Georgia would have done to the Tide had the CFP blackjacked TCU to slide Nick Saban's crew into the 4-hole.

Speaking of, you know, embarrassments.
