What is Auburn gonna do if beating Bama doesn't ruin our season?
Valid question
, but I prefer to not find out the answer to this in 2026, just to be safe. In 2027 and beyond where we know we’re locked in, one could actually argue that the 2024 inexplicable OSU loss to Michigan actually helped them win the Nattie. Not sure we can say the same about 2017, but does Saban go to Tua at halftime if that Iron Bowl loss doesn’t happen? Maybe not, as he gave Jalen the full rope in the IB and saw how that worked out.
I don’t really want to test the AU winning theory really at all, and at some point little brother has to be just good enough that an IB win will actually sneak them in to #24

Bro if we slide to 5 just after some championship games happen if we don’t go to the SECCG that’s the best spot in the entire playoff. Home game against a low ranked team.
No thanks to the home game. I want the automatic qualifier and full 4 weeks off.

Yep, especially with this staff who is very good with a preparation time advantage.
Fewer games, none with prep disadvantage is the best chance for this staff. We’ll get plenty of home games in the 24-team era.

You say that but only rocky top could because head to head. Texas on the other hand doesn't have that and the committee obviously doesn't give rocky top full points for beating an injury ravished Alabama at home.
The same way they don't give Auburn much credit for beat UGA and a week after that onslaught game against us.
The committee pretty much is boldly telling everyone they think UGA and Alabama are the two best teams in the country when healthy

Omg thats crazy

Yurachek said we had the committees #1 SOS AND #1 SOR…don’t wanna test it but I think we are safe even if we lose to Vandy or Aubunr

Indiana is gonna get beat this weekend.

Let’s hope not. Don’t think we want USC or Oregon to have a path to playoffs, and Indiana is going to get in with 2 losses anyway. Indiana winning out essentially shuts Oregon out of the B10 championship

DeBoer owns Lanning. That's why he got hired at BAMA. Didn't you know?

It’s not the 2010s anymore. It definitely could happen but probably won’t happen.
We’re one bad hit or non contact injury away from looking like we don’t know what sport we’re playing again like in Knoxville. There’s no Nico Johnson behind Donta Hightower, no Mac Jones behind Tua Tagovailoa, no Alex Leatherwood behind Jonah Williams, etc.

Teams that got a bye in the 12 team playoff are 1-7 so far.

I kind of thought we might drop to like 7 and they’d put ND and Tenn above us. It’s not going to matter though because Tennessee has a loss to A&M coming this weekend and maybe another one to LSU.

Not defending Indiana, but it’s dumb they drop five spots and didn’t even play. Makes no sense. One or two ok, but not five. Following that logic, we could expect Bama to drop a handful of spots the next few weeks due to the schedule.
They played one team with a pulse and lost that game. They've had close low scoring, one score games (including the loss) in their last 5 games and there there's this... 8 of their 9 opponents (including all 6 of their Power 4 opponents: Michigan, Minnesota, Nebraska, Northwestern, OSU, Rutgers) lost last weekend.
Long story short, their resume is awful and if they weren't the defending national champions, I'm not sure they'd be in the top 15.

I could see LSU beating them but Aggie? Nah the only conference win they have is Arkansas. Aggie ain't beating Tennessee.

I shouldn't respond to this stupid post but you are definitely coming off like an alter. Taking a shot at KDB for Lanning?
Ha
Who are you really a fan of?

Yeah and last year no away team ever beat a home team in the CFP.
No away team has ever rallied from 17-points down to win in the CFP.

While this technically isn’t wrong, think I’d still rather play Texas Tech than Oregon this year. Debatable if we’d rather rematch with UT or play a 3-loss UTx than a B10 champ 3-loss Oregon team.
We obviously just need to take care of business the next 3 weeks, and that’s not a given. DeBoer is known for more letdown games than others (although all have them). Even when at Washington he’d have letdown games, they would just win close due to the Pac12 bottom teams being terrible.
