Fact 1: They are getting progressively worse.

Fact 2: They lost 3 games

Fact 3: They lost to FSU

Fact 4: They weren’t competitive in the biggest game of their season.

Common sense: You can’t count wins and ignore losses. When the SEC championship leads to no movement, it cheapens the whole event. The reward isn’t simply playing the game; it’s earning the trophy.

Don’t lose to FSU and you aren’t in this situation.

Don’t “win” the tiebreakers and you aren’t in this situation, either.

Weird that OP is scared of Bama making the playoffs after beating us today.

Alabama defenses faced since Nov:

#8 LSU
#4 Oklahoma
#12 Auburn
#20 Georgia

quote:

Fact 2: They lost 3 games


12 teams, not 4.

Fact 3: They lost to FSU


One of the 3 already mentioned losses.

Fact 4: They weren’t competitive in the biggest game of their season.


But beat the same team earlier in the season in your own house. Remember, you cried because Ty took a piece of your hedges.

It's way more than the SECCG that has been cheapened. There is no reason to play tough schedules at all anymore. The 12 team format is stupid.

The only situation is you gonna be crying when Alabama gets in.

If you can’t penalize a team for losing a conference championship, what's to stop a team from just saying "We forfeit. See you in the playoffs."?

They’re losing in the first round if they do get in anyway so it doesn’t matter.

Got bodied in their 1st game and finished the season in the same fashion.

If Bama does that this year then they’d be in the playoffs without question. Just say “our RBs, LBs, and D line are just a little banged up, but we’ll be good in two weeks.”

If we were being compared to good teams
You’d be right. 3 rd place Acc and conference less Notre dame who went 0-2 vs D1 teams. That’s a different thing

Georgia got better.

Alabama got worse.

Alabama only won the first time because our defense was still young and our WR dropped a wide open TD.

Bama will make the playoffs.
Their SOS + their stretch of 4 straight wins vs ranked opponents carries weight!

If a team isn’t good at the end of the year, then why the hell would you put them in? You aren’t putting in the team from the beginning of the season.
