Do you think Bama will be in the top 4 when the selections are revealed today? Not, if we deserve to be in or your opinion of what teams should be in.

I think Bama will be 5. I don't think they will pull the trigger and Bama is on the outside looking in. Hope I'm wrong.

I think it's either TX and Bama at 3 and 4 or FSU and Bama at 3 and 4. I just think beating the number 1 team (a team that has won 29 straight games) in a conf championship matters A LOT - more than winning out in a weaker conf and more than a head to head that happened early in the season when teams were still gelling.

No chance. It sucks but it is what it is.

You’re probably right. They should just drop the 4 best teams line and tell the truth 4 best records gets in. No matter how weak the team that beat the most cupcakes is. It’s a disgrace.

No. But no matter what, the season has still been a tremendous success and there is much reason to celebrate. If I'm right and they don't get in, my hope to cap it off would be getting to play Louisville in the Orange Bowl. I'd like to see Bama give them an all-time spanking as punishment for that FCS tier performance they put in last night.

I think it could go either way to be perfectly honest. However, if Alabama is left out, I can't wait to see the Committee chairman trying to justify dropping Georgia from #1 to #6 or #7 after a three point loss in the SEC Championship Game, while only moving the team that beat them up three spots to #5.

Nope Vegas knows.

Really don’t give a damn though. Beating that Dawg arse and denying the three peat was sweet enough. Especially living in Atlanta.

I don’t think we get in. No melt unless they drop UGA to 4. I wanted us to kill the three peat.

Alabama football is a bigger national brand than fsu.
Which means we'll bring more fans/revenue to any playoff city.

I honestly have no idea at this point. One minute I think we get in, the next I think they do the easy thing and put FSU in.

If it's best 4 teams, yes.

If it's undefeated conference champs and head to head matters, no.

I don’t think Bama gets in and this will just further push/justify people’s need for a larger playoff.

What year was it that Alabama got in to the final four so controversially?

The thing that strikes me as funny is we rolled the competition that year, winning the championship, and some people still thought Alabama should not have been included.

Insane thinking from many Bama detractors that year.

I think odds are against us, but not letting that dampen the successes of this season.

My gut says no. Committee will establish that the goal isn't really to put the 4 best teams in but they’ll be okay with that because of the playoff expansion coming next season.

No, but this is a rare year that I would be at peace with that.

I do not, unfortunately. It’s been my position for a month that we needed FSU or Texas to lose and it never happened.
