Although, Alabama getting in over TCU almost certainly would push things into two super conferences.

It's already trending that way. No need to exacerbate it by completely throwing out every reasoning in the book for why a team makes the playoff.

1. Does Alabama have any resume argument over TCU? Not in the least
2. Do I think they are a better team, meaning on a neutral field who would win? Yes

This was always going to be a clash in this system when they said they want the best 4 teams, not necessarilly the best 4 resumes. And this isn't the first time there has been that argument (example OSU v PSU in 2016).

Anyone saying they know what will happen is lying. They know what they think should happen. Both have their argument based on past precedent, which is part of the problem, or in fact IS the problem.

Also, going along with that, there is the ratings argument.  Alabama/UGA is going to draw more than TCU/UGA
