We'll see. Trust me when I say this. Ole Miss is eliminated, and it doesn't matter what the definition of "is" is.
Face it. As long as Saban stays at Bama, we'll be the highest ranked team with 1 or 2 or ever how many losses (not zero, however. That's fluid). Reputation still means something in the back of everyone's mind. Sorry.

Well then it might as well be stated that you have to go undefeated in some large conferences because one loss is all it takes to ace a team out of their conference championship game.

I will say this, and I thought of it after reading someone's post on page 2. If Michigan State loses one and wins out, beating Ohio State, they'd have a pretty good resume if you count Oregon as a big win. They'd have 3 top 12 wins. Depends on the loss. That maybe...maybe...could be another one loss team who could jump Bama. Maybe.

Alabama isn't getting to the playoff without being in Atlanta. You're gonna need Ole Miss to lose if you plan on being a 1-loss playoff invite.

As long as you understand that Bama isn't as good as everyone tells them they are is all that matters.

Well boy have I got news for you. LSU beats Bama & Auburn beats Ole Miss. It'll be a tortuous combination of hell for you.
Please let this happen. The whole mindset of the media has been a one loss Alabama or an Ole Miss team that wins out.
The Bama talk reminds me of the opposite of what the media was doing right before they played UGA.
Auburn and LSU need to put this shite to rest the next 2 weeks.

Reputation means a lot but wins mean more. If we have an SEC Championship over UF, a win at Bama and a win vs. LSU, Bama will be left out and the Bearsharks will get in. Sorry.

Simply put regarding winning a conference championships or not. Conference championships are simply one of the criteria used to break a tie in a committee member's mind if 2 teams are exactly equal in that person's mind.
If Bob, as a theoretical committee member, thinks a non-conference winner is better/has a better resume than a conference winner, regardless of either teams' number of losses, then he's in full power and instructed to choose the non- conference winner. If he thinks both teams are equal, then winning a conference is simply one of the 3 tie-breakers, the others being head-to-head competition and SOS. Look it up.

Not with 2 losses you won't. Not. A. Chance. In. Hell.
Edit: You have a chance, but only if there are less than 4 Power 5 conference teams with 0 or 1 losses...and that ain't hap'nin. Face it, you getting smoked by Florida and losing to an American Athletic team = eliminated.
Ole Miss will not jump Bama in anybody's poll unless Bama loses. Hell, there are several teams you will not be able to jump if they have 0 or 1 losses. You're outie 5000.

If ole Miss beats UF in SEC champsionship, that basically negates one of their losses.
so they would get in, especially if Memphis is still undefeated.
AL got into title game despite losing their division

No, it doesn't. You still have 2 losses, one of them by 28. That cannot be negated.

When will everyone understand that conference championships hold no value above being another win against a (hopefully) good team? They are NOT A PLAY IN GAME. This is not the NFL.
The committee will choose based on strength of resume, and winning some a league based loosely on geography and divisional alignments from decades ago is not ...anything, really, other than another quality win at the end of the season to either pad the resume of the winning team or as a tie-breaker. The trophy doesn't mean dick, actually.

It should be obvious to any person with an IQ higher than a ficus that this discussion only pertains to a one-loss Bama team and Ole Miss winning out, because that is the only situation that would present a conundrum. If LSU beats Bama or Ole Miss loses another conference game, then no conundrum exists - therefore no discussion.
Where is your confusion?

Who deemed you the the playoff committee wizard? You are basing all of your information off of one year of results and what ESPN analysts are talking about. If those talking heads meant anything they would be involved and not spectating.
The championship game will matter book it. Until that time though it should be silent because at the end of the day we are a bunch of overly invested dumbasses arguing with computer screens because we have nothing else better to do.

Actually, I'm basing my opinion on what certain committee members themselves said in numerous direct-quote articles this past off-season explaining the results and process of year 1 of the CFB Playoff. The internet is your friend.

Things will change. You are trying hard to convince yourself and attempting to out word someone in an argument. Just let it go and agree to disagree.

Hey, GTFO of here with your logic and unbiased reasoning. This Bama fan will not stand for opinions that make sense.

Wasted a lot of time on this seeing as how bamas second loss is coming on the 7th

In all seriousness, I think this conversation is entirely pointless, given that I think a lot more teams will lose and this scenario won't come close to happening. But it has been fun to discuss.
I can promise you, however, that I need no convincing, as I have many, many years of experience having a very clear understanding of anything I choose to discuss. I'm not trying to convince others, either. Reality is not predicated on your belief in it. I just like discussing CFB. Isn't that why we're all here? Cheers, and we'll agree to disagree.

The committee will also remember how badly Alabama embarrassed them in the playoff last season.
They won't want to repeat that mistake.
