The Bama Bias is real

I sat and thought about the resume's of OM, SC, and Bama today trying to be objective and I see ZERO reason that Bama is in the hunt, yet they are the leading name
less than 9 days ago they lost to a 6-6 team by 21 points...So anyways what case do I have
OM should be the #1 team of the 3. They beat UGA by 18 as compared to Bama winning by only 3. They beat SC by 24 on the road as compared to Bama winning by 2 at home.
okay but they have bad losses...not so fast. OM has losses to UK and UF, who have the same combined SEC record as OU/Vandy, and UF finished above both of them.
As for Carolina, 4 top 25 wins, a 6 game winning streak, 4-1 on the road vs 2-3 on the road for Bama. It was a 2 point road loss to Bama which I dont think should count as a wash, but it isn't like trying to overcome the 24 point loss to OM. 2 points 7 weeks ago is enough to use the argument of season trajectory, especially when SC beat the two teams that Bama lost to by a combined 63-16 (they lost to those 2 teams by a combined 26)
so if not for Bama bias, why is OM the least talked about team of the three, while Bama is the most talked about. Why the heck did Bama not fall farther last weekend after being blown out by 6-6 OU.

None of them should be in but one of them will get in because of the numbers required to fill the field. And guess what, it's a popularity contest.
You know, the exact thing that we all knew would happen when you pretend that 12 teams can win it, when most of the prior years you couldn't find 4 who could win it.

You found ZERO reason Alabama should be in the hunt? Well then you’re a dumbass. They played 9 teams that are bowl eligible. Only Auburn and Wisconsin (who #1 Oregon struggled to beat) didn’t qualify for a bowl game. Mercer is in the FCS playoffs. They beat 3 top 25 teams. Including South Carolina and the possible SEC champion. I’m not saying they should make it but you’re lying if you found literally zero reason they should be considered

You wanna know "why"?
Of course, there's the head to head win by Bama over USCe.
And ...
Bama is the King of CFB
That's why.

They’re a villain and 99% of the country hates them. But people will watch to root against them and thus the ratings boost and more money.

The only reason Bama is ranked the head of USC and Ole Miss is because they are Bama that’s it. There’s no other reason for it. It’s fricking ridiculous.

Metrics in sports is that a 2 point loss on the road is a wash especially when it was 2 months ago and Bama has been boatraced in the last 2 weeks.

Ole Miss has a worse loss than both to 4-8 Kentucky, lost to LSU, and 'Bama has head to head vs SC and three wins vs top 25 teams.
It's not confusing to anyone except Ole Miss and SC fans.

Get a fricking grip, neither Bama nor SCAR is getting in.
Yall have your best season in over a decade and are bitching out of control about getting in the playoff

Alabama fans are really sensitive about this topic today despite insisting a week ago they had no business making the CFP.

This is the very definition of being "out of touch".

Do you erase 24 point home losses too or should they count as 2 or 3 losses because you're at home?

I will not deny you guys have played well. Deserve to be in top 12. They should take out the shitty teams they guaranteed an invite.
but The University of Alabama has a long history, and they want 12 - twelve fukin teams in the playoff, so it is what it is.
USCe and Ole Miss could beat any team on a good day.

I don't know a single Bama fan who legit thinks we do have any business being in the CFP.
But if they put us in, why is that the fans' fault?
