**WARNING: Off Season Thread**

Let's assume it's Bama, Oregon and Notre Dame.

Or any other 2 big schools outside of the SEC (FSU,OSU, etc..)

With the strength of schedule being on the weaker side for Bama, could we possibly see an SEC team be left out due to the whole eyeball test thing? And not to mention the love fest for ND?

Not flaming. I had this discussion with a Bama fan at work and he honestly thinks it's possible even with the SECCG.

Just thought I'd post, then show him the thoughts of the rant.

Kthx.

Undefeated I highly doubt Alabama will get left out because that means they would have defeated atleast 3 SEC temas ranked in the top 10. Now a one loss Alabama team next year will have no chance.

Bama will likely have just won their third national championship in four years, and they'll probably be the preseason number one team by an overwhelming margin.

Dude you are absolutely obsessed with Bama.


That being said, we dont know how good or how bad 2013's teams will be so this thread is pointless.

0% chance.

Bama knows they just need to play no one and they will get to play in the natty.

If you beat Johnny Football, your SOS will be the best in the country. Too bad that ain't happening.

No. That means we beat a good LSU team, a JFF-led team, and the best team in the SEC east. That will be enough.

Does this also assume that Alabama starts the season ranked number one?

We would have played and beaten LSU, Texas A&M, and probably Florida. V-Tech COULD win the ACC (doubt it) and no way Auburn, UT, and UK get worse next season. If we were left out it'd be a travesty, but the media voters wouldn't keep us out no matter what.

Possible but why not wait and see if the schedule really is weak once teams play next year?

A weak SEC schedule is still tougher than a Pac-12/B1G/ACC schedule

No. Bama probably won't be left out in the cold if they go undefeated.

With Bama going undefeated in 2013 it would mean they got past the powerhouse LSU that had the likes of UAB, Kent State and Furman on it. Essentially, beating a powerhouse like this that has such a difficult schedule would show the voters exactly how dominate Alabama is.

Plus, the voters are easily swayed by the dollar and smile of well endowed hooker - sponsored by the REC.

Essentially, LSU should join the Big12, it's the only way they'll ever get to another CG.

Is that troll enough for you?

Alabama got in over a BCS conference champion (same record) in 2011...after being 2nd out of 6 in their own fricking division.

No way they get left out in this scenario.

If Alabama is undefeated, they are in, regardless of the schedule. Alabama will probably be preseason #1 next year and if they go unbeaten the ranking won't change, especially with winning the SEC. It may come off as arrogant, but a team in "dynasty" mode only has to win and doesn't get penalized (No pun intended ) for shite as far as scheduling is concerned.
