re: National Championship Odds

you have a loss at home to an unranked team and another close one at home and act like you should be ranked above Clemson. it is stupid. i think you should be thankful to make the playoffs at all

big difference to a 'close' game on the road, that Clem won. Clemson dominated Lville in the trenches.

the point is, it makes no sense for ppl to say Bama would 'skull drag' and 'pistol whip' Clemson this year. your team isn't dominant and has not faced a star QB

you lost to the team with the best QB you've seen, an ex Clemson player. lol

i don't think Bama is going to win the West this year.

LSU is going to steal it i think.

Bama will have 2 losses

Coker can't take you to the promise land.

Update: Looking at LSU schedule, don't think they will win it. i think they could actually lose out. lol My opinion Arky is much better than them on offense

i've always rooted for MSU for some reason, cuz nobody ever gives them any love, and Dr Clemson wanted Clem modeled after MSU, believe it or not. lol

I think MSU has improved on offense the past few weeks. and Auburn looks al ittle better too.

i think Bama can lose 1 of those.

Ole Miss may end up taking the division and then the confernce. Does a 3 loss Ole miss team that beats Florida have a shot at the playoff?

or would they give the spot to Bama anyway b/c they only had 2 losses.

let's face it, ppl are sick of Bama. need some new blood in the playoffs.

ppl who always say SEC is best conference never seem to notice Bama kind of always wins the conference save a fluke year from Auburn now and then. lol Seems like if SEC is as competitive as claimed, you would have greater variety of teams winnning the SEC title

i believe that scenario can take place and, in fact, is likely to take place. i've already said I can see LSU losing out. they really just started the meat of their schedule this week and nobody knows for sure how good they are. they layed an egg in the bama game so losing another 2 doesn't seem impossible.

I like Ole Miss in their two remaining games,and I think Bama drops 1 of 2.

high ratings doesn't mean people want bama in the playoffs. Ppl will groan if Bama ends up in playoffs despite not winning SEC b/c Ole Miss had 3 total losses. but maybe Ole Miss would jump Bama in the playoff rankings if they beat Florida even with the extra loss.

the good thing about the playoffs is most years it will force a SEC team to beat two good OOC teams to win it all.

i used 2 think SEC bias was probably a bit exxaggerrated but when you see a one loss Bama team in playoffs vs undefeated teams like Oklahoam State and Iowa, hard not to believe it is real

do the weekly playoff rankings include an analysis of the rest of their schedule? A projection? Or it is only the results so far in the season.

Yes Ok State should get in. They'd probably get in before ND if they win out. Just like Baylor most likely would if they went undefeated.

However, just stacking unbeatens is not right in the slightest, as the SOS for someone like OK State to Bama before this weekend was just laughable. Same goes with OSU.

But I guess Houston is a better team than Alabama because they've never lost at home either.

Also there are a total of 6 unbeatens, two of them have guaranteed losses (either Iowa or OSU, and either Baylor of OK State), and one of them is Houston.

So essentially at the end if EVERYTHING goes exactly according to plan and no unexpected losses occur, you have three realistic teams that could make the playoff and be unbeaten. Why in the world should a one loss Bama team with the toughest strength of schedule not be in that group? Who deserves it more?

they lost to Ole Miss at home, and barely beat a 4 loss am at home but they will skull drag Clemson and ND, both teams that have much better QBs and WRs?

Jaime stayed away from meth today. Congrats on the first step.

LSU lost to Alabama bad because you don't a QB and they could stack up against the run

Didn't stack the box. We ran base all night. Dabo has had a great run. He keeps this up, we might even take him off your hands.

Pretty sure he isn't an MSU fan.

Either way, you can question Alabama's schedule based off of whatever you want, but even if you nitpick every single team, it still is way more impressive than any other one loss team in the country.

I say all this hubris is good no to make a deep Dakin' really freaking hilarious, not to mention even if Bama gets by MSU they still have to win the conference in Atlanta, and sure you beat the team that beat us on the road by a TD in your home stadium by 14 but we beat the team that marched into Tuscaloosa dropped bombs on the Tide and then withstood the desperate Bama comeback and a few garbage time points by 28 and that's with 7 after we called off the dogs.

ok, he the one who chose to bash Clemson, he's not familiar with the state obviously

Actually very familiar with the state of SC. Yes Clemson is 45minutes away from Greenville. Not like Greenville is a major destination for anyone in the state. The majority of the traffic through the area is due to I85 & I26 go through it. The majority of the people that live there is because they work at the BMW, Michelin, other plants in the area. But yes I know the state very well as I am heading down for the weekend to my house in Charleston. I also still have my house in Asheville.

The finest establishment in Clemson was Tiger Tails which I believe is no longer there so really gone down hill now.
