If Bama wins, which would you prefer?

I feel like a bye helps us with DeBoer at the helm.

We are an XO type of team. More time equals more success.

Under Saban I think the bye would have made us play worse.

I think we need the Bye week.

However if we get a bye week and play the winner of 5-12 it’s probably Oregon. Not bad.

If we are 5 we play Tulane, North Texas, James Madison at home? Not to panicked about that.

Probably true. I think a bye week would be a much needed recovery after 2 physical games with AU and UGA. However, I think Bama at home in a playoff against a G5 opponent could be a momentum builder.

Yep. But its the ACCs fault.

The playoff committee never guessed the ACC would be so arse that 2 G5 schools would be ranked higher.

We absolutely want a bye and some time to heal right now.

If we get the receivers, Cuevas and Brailsford healthy and some time for Ty to recover everything is in front of us.

Tough sledding if we have to jump into another game so quickly going into a quarterfinal war with UGA (again).

I agree. I’m not saying these guys don’t have good teams but let’s get real. Baring an absolute miracle we beat them by 28 points.

Also the ACC is to blame.

I want the seed where we get a home game and get to play OU again.

Bye

I think people think of wrong by calling it a bye week. The playoff calendar is so dumb and spread out that effectively everyone has multiple bye weeks in terms of rest.

My point is I just want the easiest opponents possible. I don’t think the bye itself is much if any benefit, and last year the teams with the bye looked flat and went 0-4.

The bye will definently help the teams that have injured players.
