I think we could lose to Auburn and beat Georgia and get in


Literally the most obvious statement in the world.

Yes a 12-1 SEC champion is in. There wouldn't be a close contender. Just because this is a team board do we really have to litter it with facts converted to opinions?

I think if Bama goes undefeated we'll be the #1 seed. HOT TAKE!

I agree but my response was to the poster above me who said otherwise

1. Alex Kirshner is awful at his job. Granted it's social media but read his tweets and this dude is a fricking writer?


I'd argue the majority of SB Nation's CFB staff falls under this category.

The whole all encompassing shtick they have about Alabama just isn't even funny or clever anymore. Like, do they think it is? I guess there is an audience as places like the Rant make clear, but I just don't get it. I'm all in for clever humor or hate of us, but it's the same tired nonsense for half a decade.

And the Deadspinish "we're intellectual" thing is pretty off putting as well. Your articles are broken down with bullet points, big bold font and 700 parentheses. GTFOH with that shite.

You could be right that they would have Murray jump him, but it would be completely unwarranted. I watched Kyler Murray against Army, Texas, Texas Tech, and Oklahoma State. Color me unimpressed. He'll be the second best quarterback on the field against West Virginia, and he would be in the same position against any of the playoff contenders sans Notre Dame.

Did you read my post at all???
1.I said Tua MAY have lost the Heisman.
2. I posted it before Saban said he would play. A lot of people speculated he would sit this week before Saban put those thoughts to bed.
3. I said that Saban has never risked a championship or players health for an individual trophy. That is 100% fact. Lucky for us it seems Tua is fine. I trust Saban fully on this.
4. Kyler Murray has now surpassed Tua on most stats after last week. Bama fatigue is real. Some in the media were already beating the Murray drum before the results of last Saturday.
5. If Tua sat out(which he won't) and Murray beat WVU twice in 2 weeks(tough but possible) Murray would surpass Tua as the Heisman favorite.
6. Reading comprehension. Try it.


I read it.

1. Again, ridiculous statement, go look at vegas odds.
2. Speculated by people who aren't paying attention and just make up their own version of things. His knee looked fine in the game, some people are just Chicken Littles. Because it's impossible that Saban has been telling the truth the entire time even though his progress has matched up with it all.
3. Sure, but again see #2.
4. Playing in the Big12 and many many more snaps than Tua. I'm guessing by "some" you mostly mean FoxSports. I don't know honestly, I don't watch the "experts", but it doesn't matter.
5. See #2
6. Pretty sure I 100% read you correctly.
