#2 highlighted below was the biggest reason we were left out.  I guess I am just not seeing any inconsistency  
Note - The following is for Syracuse 2017

1, Syracuse 3 bad losses vs Alabama 2 bad losses -  A loss to a 100-135 team on the road is no longer a bad loss, but a loss to a team outside of the top 75 at home is a bad loss.    Alabama's loss at Ole  Miss and Vanderbilt are not considered bad losses, but their loss at home is considered a bad loss.

[B]2. Syracuse 2 road/neutral wins vs Alabama's 5 - [/B]5 is not great, but 2 was the worst ever for any team seeking an at-large bid.

[B]3[/B]. Syracuse 4 top wins = RPI 10,15,19, 43
Alabama's 4 top wins = RPI 8,10,16,24
 reason

4.   NCSOS 
Syracuse 157
Alabama 28

If I look at that as a committee member I say yes to Alabama.  The bigger issue is the garbage spewed out by the RPI formulations that says the SEC is so dominant this year, and the reliance on NCSOS despite being a garbage indicator.  But they do rely on them, and on all counts I would need to take Bama by slight margins.
