The eye test. The committee

That’s absolutely not true. The only thing that hurts us is BYU beating TT. Thats it.

Let me help you. The below is with losses in SEC CG

82% all state



90% ESPN



This predictor got us being left out right last year. Sure anything can happen and winning against UGA is the easiest way but if TT beats BYU. We are in. Miami isn’t jumping two conference champ runner up. It’s not happening. Virginia will be 11, G5 at 12. Bama stays at 10. Book mark this.

Need BYU to lose, but we also may need Duke to lose. If Duke wins, are they really going to leave out the ACC completely? I’d hope so, but definitely don’t want to test it. They could put Miami in and just take the heat of leaving us out in that case, because either way it’s going to get really loud.

They could but that's because I believe they'll bump ND out. 9-10: Miami or Bama 11: ND

They’d have to bump ND behind Miami this Tues then, and that’s not going to happen. No way they switch and put Miami above ND the last week when neither of them played

How is there a 23% chance of us finishing 5-8 and hosting?

How could the ACC champion be left out but the ACC #3 gets in as an at-large team?

This whole format is retarded.

It has to do with the pools now if I am not mistaken. Just winning your conference does not guarantee you a slot of other teams are higher ranked. There are a number of qualifiers in this which makes it confusing

I agree but our O will need to play lights out and our D will need to play better than they did second half vs AU. We gave up some big plays that lead to AU TD's

Not sure what you’re looking at, but updated CFP chances as of today has Bama at 68%. That’s ESPN’s number as of this moment. Given that it’s 100% with a win, I’d say with a loss there are actually pretty low. I don’t think we’d hold off Miami and obviously a BYU win would kill it too.

You need to follow the instructions of how the predictor works. See my other post.

The only eye test we aren’t passing is Yurachek’s sorry arse because he has an axe to grind. I don’t know what Bama did to him to make him so butthurt but he’s struggling to come up with excuses to exclude Alabama like lack of a run game. Last time I checked, a certain rush yards per game number was not a prerequisite for the playoffs. Alabama is 108 in the country in rushing offense. Oklahoma is 99th. Is 100th some magical cutoff? I don’t hear him bitching about Oklahoma. This is nothing more than a personal vendetta by a rival AD who should recuse himself from the room when Alabama is being discussed.
Alabama has struggled of late on offense. But we have also played some of the toughest defenses in the nation. But as winners do, we have found a way to win against the 10th hardest schedule in the nation. The defense is playing lights out. There’s no reason we don’t pass an eyeball test for anyone with decent football knowledge.

I understand that but it’s what we have right now.
