All he said was "BAMA lost and has a CHANCE to play in any of the 5 BCS games."

He then went on to explain how it COULD happen. He clearly says it is terribly unlikely. He was just making the point that it is interesting that it is POSSIBLE.
That makes a lot more sense than the gibberish in the OP.

Next Year with the 4 Team playoff starting, the Gumps/Auburn game (finish and all) would be meaningless...Both teams would be the 4 team
mix anyway.

No kidding! Why do people keep wanting to give Bama do-overs? They lost. That's it.

Another reason to hate the new playoff system.

And I'd gladly say that if the kick had been good. I thought both the mulligans for the BCSC were stupid, especially since they were both rematches of tightly contested big rivalry games (F$U-UF in '97, Bama-LSU in '11).

Blame the bowl committees if this happens, not Alabama

Yeah if this happens it's because Sugar Bowl committee politicked into hosting a rematch.

It would sell seats and TV. It would be hyped up to no end.

It would be an epic matchup with a 50-50 split of fans in the stands.

With the Gumps, once again, sitting at home while AU plays the extra game the Gumps were not good enough to qualify for, despite having the easier schedule.

Auburn losing the SECCG eliminates them from the Final Four....

Sounds great, doesn't it?

I disagree. It would be like following up Breaking Bad with a sitcom starring Skyler and Walt's early married life.

Nothing that could happen is going to surpass what already happened, it's impossible.

The SEC championship game will end up fricking the conference from here on out with the playoff.

Auburn best not play the walk ons because they would be running into a very angry and highly motivated Alabama team.

How could that possibly happen? I know i heard that Alabama is still mathematically in the picture, but would the bowl committee really want to see that game again?

They wanted to see Bama-LSU after 9-6. Why not? The Bama-AU game was infinitely more entertaining.

Y'all were not motivated Saturday?

Sounds like poor coaching to me.

Delany argued to make it a requirement that all teams in the playoff win their conference.

But there are potential conference tie's in the big12. That's the biggest reason why a conference can get two I to the playoff.

It would be the end of the 2013 Barner dickride. That's something you'd need to consider.
