Are you confident here Boz?
Im afraid the state of locker room and the bad matchup with AU is going to be a problem.

I’ve never seen more fear over a 5 win team. If Bama loses it is because of their issues not because the barn is some unstoppable juggernaut to be feared.

I disagree.. I think Bama has the potential to beat everyone in the playoffs but I also think that... Realistically Bama getting into the playoffs is significantly based on name and that is counter productive

And on that subject. Any a-hole fan that says this team shouldn't be in or doesn’t deserve it, or whatever the frick else doesn't understand that 100% of the time, it's better to be in the playoff than not, no matter the outcome.


Hate to reward a coaching staff or players for this crap they've put on the field. Reward people for crap and they'll begin believing delivering crap is ok.

You aren't rewarding them.

This is also ironic because you wish other teams who didn't have to play a tough schedule get rewarded for taking an easier road.

I get we don't have the most dominant team like we use to 4 years ago but we still could make a run and people want to piss on that.

I'm not a fan of the playoff because it makes it where games aren't important. Players begin to think that losing games is ok.

Sending a team to the playoffs with 3 losses, especially with the way we've played is rewarding them. If Bama had lost to VANDY by 1 or tenn by 1 or OU by 1 then that would be a different story. But that's not what happened

JMO but beating the cow college is HUGE this year. Football is like basketball in that it's now one and done for the most part. The barn even at 5-6 can pull even as far as recruiting with a win. The old sign and stack depth is over just like basketball. It's a one year deal now.

Kalen, staff, and team have so much to lose if the barn were to win.

It’s crazy. We are home, the barn is not that great. They had some good breaks against AM. The AM WR dropped a perfect pass in the end zone to keep OT going.

We need Purdue to step up and be a spoiler. Indiana may not handle that loss very well.

Purdue is not just bad. They are one of the worst teams in FBS. They have lost 10 in a row and their only win is over an FCS team. IU could play like complete shite and beat Purdue by double digits.

Based on the rantings if we beat Auburn which should happen,
USCe beating Clemson would move us up to 12.

I’ve been wondering the same thing. I’ve thought about it at least three times recently.

We’re still ahead of South Carolina, for some reason South Carolina has some idea that they’ll jump us (lol)

Ranked wins Alabama vs South Carolina

#7 Georgia, #15 SC, #21 Mizzou

#20 A&M, #21 Mizzou. Add Clemson and they’re probably behind #15

Losses

#8 Tenn, UR Vandy (6-4), UR OU (6-5)

#13 Alabama, #14 Ole Miss, UR LSU (7-4)

Common opponent you have Vandy/OU to LSU. Mizzou was a win for both but 34-0 to 34-30. Two blowouts for Bama to one for South Carolina.

Out of conference is ODU/Wofford/Akron to USF/Wiscy/Mercer. Leans Bama

SOS/SOR are 11/11 (Bama) to 12/14 and then head to head


Tl,Dr; maybe they hop Ole Miss but they’re not hopping us. Resume isn’t better than us

This is a perfect summation:


It’s simple- we are in if we beat Auburn and not in OT, SC beats Clemson, Miami Beats SMU.

Write it down.

And this isn't some slim to none proposition here. All that shite's on the table and could easily happen.
