Who else likes being ranked lower?

I don't necessarily. Gotta believe this team is better than Oregon.

There's no doubt our guys are the best team in the country. WHEN THEY WANT TO BE. Saying that. A panel of people don't reserve the right to pass judgement. I was never a supporter of this committee. Coaches poll should determine the playoff teams. 8 team playoff based on coaches poll rankings.

Here's where it doesn't matter that oregon is ahead of us. We have to win out to get in anyways so saban is right, they don't mean shite. We win out, we more than likely win the west. Just because these teams are ahead of us doesn't mean they're better. Don't let it get to you, make them vote us 1 or 2 and then let saban publically say, frick you, we didn't care what you thought all along. Talk is cheap, play the games.

I think we are ranked appropriately at this time. We win our next 4 regardless of who represents the west and I'll have a big problem with Bama getting left out.

It works to our favor. This is exactly where I hoped bama would be.

If this team plays up to their potential, they're better than everyone... I'm ecstatic to be ranked where we are... I'm even happier that the playoff committee seems to have gotten it right... I was shocked to see three SEC teams in the top 4 but they got it right...

Haven't even given it a thought because it's so inconsequential right now.

I love it. Gives those boys two whole weeks to stew about how they are underrated and not respected. What this group shows is when they are disrespected or even given up on by the fans... they respond.

Hope they respond with four wins in the next five weekends.

I don't like being ranked lower than Oregon. They have a sig win edge at the moment with MSU being ahead of WVU. They lost at home to Arizona to our road loss to a committee top 4 team.



I don't like the prospect of Florida State, Ole Miss, and Oregon winning out while currently being ahead of us. We would still in theory be #4 but I wouldn't be thrilled at the possibility of trying to hold #4 vs this list.

11-1 TCU or Baylor(mainly TCU)

12-1 Ohio State or Michigan State

11-1 Notre Dame


I do feel if we win out we are in but I would like to jump Oregon for insurance.

Here's the thing, and this is really indisputable

Not really. The committee hasn't ranked these teams where they stay put if they win and only drop when they lose. I expect to see teams make big jumps and falls week to regardless even if they win. That's why I could see TCU jumping up to #4 if they were to win at West Virginia this weekend.

That makes absolutely zero sense unless the teams above them lose. Why would they jump to 4? First of all, Alabama already beat West Virginia. Second, WVA is only #20. Beating #20 won't, for example, cause the committee to bump them ahead of Oregon, FSU, or the winner of the AU-OM game. Nor would beating a team that Alabama already beat cause the committee to bump them ahead of Alabama.

But the biggest reason why I am right is the fact that you are only looking at one game this weekend, and I said what would happen if teams would win out. You have TCU jumping to #4 for beating #20? Then if Bama beats #1 and #3, they'll just jump right past them. TCU does not have wins of the same caliber left on its schedule...fact.
