Even if Bama loses, they can STILL make the playoffs

If they beat:
#1 Miss St
#3 Auburn

Those would be very impressive victories causing Bama to jump up dramatically in the ranking. In winning, they would displace two of the teams that are currently "IN".

When Ole Miss lost in Tiger Stadium they only dropped zero to two spots. Even with a loss, Bama would be #10.

Finally, the powers that be always want to put Bama in. I think they only have to win 2 of their next 3 to get in.

Are these "powers that be" which always want to help Alabama also represented on the committee this year? That would be a nice surprise.

The "breaking news" sarcasm would be if I said "Bama wins-out they're in".

What I'm saying is, they only have to win two of the three because it's the toughest schedule anyone has remaining.

There are multiple non-SEC games over the next 2 weeks that will go a long way in determining whether or not 2 SEC teams get in.

If Bama loses to LSU, they will end up with 4 losses. No way they beat Auburn and MSU if they can't beat Ole piss and LSU.

If they win Saturday, lose to MSU, then beat Aubrun they will still have a great chance of making it in.

If they lose Saturday and win against #1 and #3 they are in.

If Bama can't beat LSU they don't deserve to be in.

When Bama fans and TnM agree, you should probably rethink your point.

Suck a dick nMiami. This is a board where we discuss thoughts about college football.

I hope it happens.

LSU has two loses and can play itself into a #6 ranking. If Bama has wins over top-3 teams, I think they make it in.

Not sure why people have to be pricks about it. Can you talk like a man?

No. That's a product of the committee not wanting to put too many SEC teams in the top 4. Knock out two of the teams and you would get the final spot.

Why do people so often conflate "didn't beat" with "can't beat"? Did anyone watching the Ole Miss/Alabama game walk away thinking Alabama couldn't beat Ole Miss? No.

Well usually when you play a divisional conference game you only get one shot. So technically since you lost to Ole Miss, you "can't" beat them because you already played them and lost. But then again, you're an Alabama fan so of course you're used to being given a do-over.
