But Alabama edged out Ohio State for that number four spot, despite Alabama not winning the SEC West.

Andrew Campisi is from Louisiana, "We hate Nick Saban, from Louisiana, because he left LSU and went to Alabama, our hated rival, but sometimes you just gotta respect greatness and they do it year after year."

The committee congratulated Ohio State on beating Wisconsin for the Big Ten title Saturday, but preferred Alabama's consistent performance on the field from week to week.

Notre Dame fan Bharat Raju said, "I think Ohio State should've definitely made it. The Big Ten is one of the major football conferences and they deserve to have someone and Ohio State clearly proves that they belong there, over Alabama when Georgia is already in."
