Ask yourself, why you melt.

Melting is fear, plain and simple.



Complaining? Fear wrapped in weakness. You hope by complaining someone will change something to your liking and it doesn't happen. DWI.

Sadness? Cry ... you may feel better.

Anger? Fear lashing out, pretending to be tough. It’s still fear.

You’re scared of losing what you thought you had -- but guess what? You never had it.

Your melts are pathetic.

They probably won't make it but If Bama does, deal with it.

Not sure its quite that simple to say its all fear. A disagreement is not all fear based.

For adults true.

Truth be told, around here, it's all about fear.

Saying Bama shouldn't make it with clear logic is not a melt.

As I've said, I prefer playing them over lots of other teams. I don't really care.

But if the resumes were swapped between them and S. Carolina or them and Ole Miss, nothing would change in the rankings.

It's about the brand. I don't care who they pick. Doesn't hurt my team's chances.

In theory, this is true. But when you try to do that it is definitely fear-based melting. For one, you don’t have the ability to string together ‘clear logic.’ You post weird, off-topic, nonsense.

But that’s just it it’s not clear logic. You don’t want Bama in due to hatred of Bama It has nothing to do with logic.

You're two weeks removed from your worst lost in Bama football history. Your folks said it, not me. And suddenly no one is even talking about it. We're in December. How you played in November should have some bearing.

Has nothing to do with hatred. I don't really care. Bring your LANK shiola in this CFP.

Dawgs lose Saturday and their Nov/Dec resume is on absolute life support. But if that's how you want to do it.

Yes, your last game should carry a lot of weight.

What if your last 5 games you go 3-2 and include squeaking by a 7-5 ACC team at home in 8 OTs and a 3 score loss on the road combined with just 1 Top 25 win (at home)? Throw in giving up 21 pts and 200+ rush yards to UMass in the other of the 5 and I dunno Jim, sounds like it should be given some real weight. Road game for sure and probably lucky to be given that. Just not playing good ball down the stretch.

Let’s be clear, I’m not advocating for or against Alabama. I’m just pointing out you’re a moron with this “clear logic” talk, among other things.

But anyway, let’s have a look at the computer rankings for the most impartial, logical approach to this. Oh, you don’t want to do that? We should base this on Koreandawg’s unhinged feelings?

Ok, but that’s not part of the stated criteria.

The field has no bearing on your team’s chances of winning? That gem alone labels you as a moron generally speaking, but when we are specifically talking about the team that went into halftime with a 30-7 lead over yours it’s just impossible to take anything you say seriously. This OP was made for you: it’s all fear.

Do you see now how dumb the things you say on this board are?

I'm not saying you're melting necessarily but just saying you're melting and it shows.

You start off usually well but eventually you dig yourself into a hole.

Should bama get in by that chart, only two teams with top 20 SoS would be in, with Georgia easily being the most battle tested team in the field.

Only 4 in the top 30, 3 of which would have all played each other. All three 1-1 in those games.

Well? How so? This man has been low-key melting at any prospect of Bama getting in which is not guaranteed. He talks about "clear logic" but hasn't attempted to explain his arguments. Only argument he has is a debatable "most deserving" but he would contradict his past posts so he stop just short of it.
