If Bama loses to Kentucky in a close, surprising way but runs the table the rest of the way and wins the SEC, do you think a one loss Bama gets in over another one loss team like Stanford or Oregon?

(Scenario assumes only one undefeated team this year. Thanks for opinions)

No way. If Alabama is upset by Kentucky they will not make up enough ground by seasons end. Would be a terrible loss, similar to Okie State losing to ISU in 2011. Even if they won the SEC they probably wouldn't be ranked higher than 4th in the final poll.

Don't be mad that lsu has more sec titles since 2001 than ten has in 3 decades.

My thoughts exactly. Safe to say we've established Kentucky as the ISU of our conference and, therefore, losing to them ( or ISU) means you don't deserve a shot at title.

If Bama loses to KY we might still make it as an at-large bid or win the SEC tourney.


Oh, you meant in football...

Pretty sure a one loss Bama will get in regardless of the loss.

But what if Bama lost to Kentucky and Arkansas? Would we still make the national title game? And would anyone view a national title with losses to Kentucky and Arkansas as legitimate?

Bad question and hell no. We got in past years because teams lost to bad teams. If we lose to a bad team we're not getting in just because Saban is our coach and we're Alabama.

As long as your team has the title of sec champ? Sure. You and I know it's laughable to have a national champ that wasn't even the champ of its own division, let alone conf.

It was laughable that year. I still remember giggling like a little school girl as the final seconds ticked off the clock. Yes, yes I did. I remember it vividly.

Possible. They would still have wins over LSU and UGA to finish the year. Might be enough.

No. It's laughable to lose 21-0 in the only shutout in BCSNCG history and only cross the 50 ONCE, yet still try to claim you were the better team.

No... Its the fact that LSU fans are pissed that Oklahoma State had a better argument than Alabama and Oklahoma State got left out.

LSU also beat Alabama that year in Tuscaloosa.

So yes. They have a legit gripe.
