They are already prepping for us to not play LSU round 1.

Lol what did they do to jump UF, Michigan, and Wisconsin? The ranking is fine but I don’t see why a home win over 6-5 Texas was the tipping point

I'm telling yall, we aren't getting in unless Georgia, Utah and Oklahoma all lose.
On Tuesday, Georgia will be 4, we will be 5, Utah will be 6 and OU 7th.
Tua's injury will be their excuse to keep us out even if we beat Auburn.

This is how I felt from the start, and it is how I still feel. The good thing is that Utah has a pretty decent chance of losing, as does UGA. Oklahoma I'm not so sure about.

They all have good chances of losing actually.

Utah- Oregon
Oklahoma-Baylor
UGA-LSU

We still might get in if 1 and 2 don’t lose but Def won’t if UGA wins.

OK loses to Okie State. Then beats Baylor. Utah gets beat by Oregon. LSU beats GA. That’s our 100% path and I honestly think it happens. Oklahoma has struggled all year. They can definitely lose to State and have proven they can beat Baylor. And I think Herbert and the Ducks figure it out against Utah.

So beating a 6-5 Texas at home by only 14 warrants moving up 5 spots?

If we beat a 6-5 team by 14 at home people would be having a come apart about us.
It just feels like some people are pushing this narrative out there that our season should already be over.

IMO, we need a “good” win against Auburn.

I see what they are trying to set up.. Utah jumps us with a win.. and we play Oklahoma in a bowl game. Jalen vs his old coach... they see TV ratings.. even though half our team might not play and no Tua

Reece Davis is strangely passionate about Alabama not getting in.

I wish someone would just flat ask him what makes Utah better than Alabama.

looks to me like this committee is setting up a situation where bama has no chance. dont recall the other committees manipulating the rankings this much.

If we had squeaked out wins against TCU & Iowa State following a loss to Kansas State, the pundit class would be on us like ants. It’s like it’s baked in for other teams to struggle but not us.

Since we will be sitting out Championship Saturday, we need to prove Saturday that we are a Top 4 team. Of course if we won by 7 or 3 (same margins as UGA & LSU over AU) people probably won’t think that’s enough. There’s definitely some maneuvering in the rankings this week that could screw us.

If we don’t jump UGA after beating the Barn this week.. that will be very telling that we are just a place holder. UGA lost to South Carolina who we man handled.. if we beat the barn and don’t jump.. we aren’t going unless they have no choice and everyine loses out.

He basically said Bama got the vote for #4 and didn’t give it to us.. we are screwed this year.. but did it to ourselves
