Not, do they deserve to be in the CFP, but do you think the Committee will put them in?

I say no. I think they take the easy way out and put a 2 loss team in for the first year. I also think they remember the backlash from last year and don’t want a repeat of that.

Saying that, I will continue to argue with the LSU and Auburn fans that are losing their minds over the prospect of it happening. It’s too much fun.

I do. I think a lot of people are underestimating how easy it is for big name teams to get into this playoff.

I don’t see how we don’t get in.

Yes we are in AP and Coaches made it easy for the committee. Clemson/SMU loser is out.

Headed to the south bend or state college assuming Oregon wins the big 10.

Memories are short. People loooooooove to bitch, and the media trades in clicks, likes, downvotes and controversy.

I actually just made the most compelling argument of all for Alabama to make the field. Yes, Alabama gets in.

1000% right

All the people that hate Bama and always argue against Bama don’t realize they contribute to it. Because they all enjoy the possibility of Bama losing

All of Bama’s losses this year are popular games. A lot of Bama’s losses under Saban were heavily watched games. People tune if it’s highly rated match up Bama can lose or if Bama is about to or actively losing a game

No one cares if USC or Ole Miss loses. People don’t like Miami either but them losing doesn’t draw all that much happiness compared to Bama

The same somewhat applies to other big name schools like UGA or OSU just not to the same extent. People forget or ignore these playoffs were expanded for more views ie more money. Not for “fairness”

One thing getting lost in all this speculation is the CFP committee is making these decisions based on TV ratings as well as play on the field.

That's one of the reasons they moved to 12 teams. It makes it easier for them to justify putting in an Alabama/Ohio State/Michigan/Texas who certainly wouldn't have deserved to get in in years past.

Another thing ABC/ESPN wants are players to help market the playoffs. We may feel a certain way about Jalen Milroe, but let's be honest. He is extremely popular with the media.

Remember this:

LSU and Auburn fans are losing it, huh ? Well, Alabama beat both of them head to head. They had their chance to knock us out and didn’t do it. They have no room to say anything at this point.

They basically did it for us. We appreciate it. But we beat them. Let’s move on.

Do you think we play well if we get in or win any games?
