They want them to stay in the mix as long as possible.

Mobile QB's tgat can throw the ball accurately, give them fits. You're not gonna line up and run it down their throats.
Also I don't think Bama is gonna be able to line up and run it down MSU's throat. Spartans will give them all they want.

Not at all, most knew it would happen. After seeing bama coddled over the last several + years, things like that become expected when involving Alabama....

I believe that they really did rank teams #1-4 based on their body of work.
It does stink that because MSU had a better SOS and has +1 win than Oklahoma AND by virtue of winning the BIG Championship game they jumped up to #3 and we get stuck playing Oklahoma. But, that's luck of the draw.
Don't forget, Clemson was by FAR the sloppiest playoff team over the last 4 weeks of the season, and we didn't budge from #1 because of our body of work. We didn't exactly look like #10 much less #1 against SC, Syracuse, etc... If there was a conspiracy we'd have been bumped to #2. Bama is #2 because the committee still thinks the SEC is great, but you could easily argue that MSU deserved it. Either way, it wouldn't change who plays who in round #1.
I'm not worried. If we play a clean game we'll beat Oklahoma. From there I hope we get a chance to play Alabama. "SEC fan" needs to be taught a lesson.

Nick is the queen of excuses and the SEC fans eat that chit up.

I agree with ranking of Oklahoma and MSU but if they actually ranked them 1-4 based on performance it should have been Bama at #3. That leads me to believe it had more to do with match-ups than actual rankings.

I expected and found it quite satisfying.

It plays right into our hands. While OU is working on what we've done all year we'll be putting in some twist which they won't see coming. I'd much rather have the two or three weeks to prepare for OU than have to face them after playing Bama which will only take two days for which to prepare.
I mean, how many different ways can they hand the ball to Henry? Frankly, if they wanted Bama in the final they should have given them a bye.

As much as I would like to be able to play and beat Bama, I think in the grand scheme of things they need to lose to MSU so the SEC will be seen as the 3rd or 4th best conference once again. That's the only way to not have 10 SEC teams in the preseason poll next year.

If Mich St starting QB plays they will beat Bama by 2 TDs.
