I like the feeling of being the underdog for once. It's a feeling of not having anything to lose so balls to the wall it is. Not having to play not to lose and having that much pressure to win is kind of refreshing. Saying that, we are going to have to win out to make the playoff anyways so I see it as a middle finger saying "this is what we think of you compared to the top 5" we win out it takes care of itself. But until then I think our guys will take it as a big frick you and play violent. Let the blood bath begin, the sleeping giant will wakeup soon, Roll Tide.

I don't necessarily. Gotta believe this team is better than Oregon.

i think we are in the perfect spot. especially when we play 2 teams that are above us. if we win all of our games from here on out we are in, so no need to worry. hopefully the team can use the mild slight as some fuel to stomp lsu

I think we are ranked appropriately at this time. We win our next 4 regardless of who represents the west and I'll have a big problem with Bama getting left out.

Doesn't matter at all

It works to our favor. This is exactly where I hoped bama would be.

I like it. I'm ready to dominate this 4 game season.

Haven't even given it a thought because it's so inconsequential right now.

I love it. Gives those boys two whole weeks to stew about how they are underrated and not respected. What this group shows is when they are disrespected or even given up on by the fans... they respond.
Hope they respond with four wins in the next five weekends.

I don't like being ranked lower than Oregon. They have a sig win edge at the moment with MSU being ahead of WVU. They lost at home to Arizona to our road loss to a committee top 4 team.
I don't like the prospect of Florida State, Ole Miss, and Oregon winning out while currently being ahead of us. We would still in theory be #4 but I wouldn't be thrilled at the possibility of trying to hold #4 vs this list.
11-1 TCU or Baylor(mainly TCU)
12-1 Ohio State or Michigan State
11-1 Notre Dame
I do feel if we win out we are in but I would like to jump Oregon for insurance.

Here's the thing, and this is really indisputable: The top 6 teams all control their own destiny. FSU at 2 is in if they win out. Between AL, AU, MS, and OM, two of those have to lose a game, so Oregon at #5 is guaranteed to move up a spot if they win out. Alabama plays two teams above them; if they win out, they will pass both of those teams.
TCU and Sparty need help, because it is possible for two different combinations of four teams above them to win out, leaving them no opportunity to pass them. Also, Sparty's only decent opponents left are #16 OSU and possibly #15 Nebraska in the B1GCG. Sparty really has no way to significantly improve their resume.

I understand the motivational angle and Bama needs to win out anyway to be assured a spot.
Even though there will be years a 2 loss team gets into the playoff, probably before it changes.
But I'd much rather Bama was ranked #1 than #6.
There's more room for error with the higher ranking.
Plus the answer to the trivia question will always be FSU, Aub and two Mississippi teams.
