Yay or nay?

The odds say yes when you look at recent history. The last time Alabama finished the regular season ranked outside the Top 3 is when they finished 9-3 and #16 in 2010. Since that time:

2011: Finished the regular season #2
2012: Finished the regular season #2
2013: Finished the regular season #3
2014: Finished the regular season #1
2015: Finished the regular season #2

Pretty good run.

Give him a break. He's been on a bender celebrating that #1 NBA pick.

They will never finish outside the top three again. Ever. Not in our lifetime anyway.

Yes. As long as we don't implode at Quarterback. This defense will be 2011-good and might just be the best pass rushing team in America. This defense really isn't fair.

What an incredible run! I would bet against them this year. With four teams in the playoff they'd have to be in it to finish top three. And I'd put their odds of being in the playoffs at 40%.

I think this year they have about a 50% chance of winning the west. If they win it, I'd give them a 70% chance of winning the seccg. Multiplying those gives a 35% of winning the SEC. I think they need to win the SEC, but maybe bump their odds to 40% on the outside chance they don't win the SEC but make the playoffs anyway.

So 50% or 60%?
Your math is garbage.

Top 3



it's Bama. They don't finish in top 3, it's always #1 for Bama. Even when it isn't.

Sid, you are special!

A 90% chance of winning the SEC. That's an automatic playoff ticket. Add to that another 5%, because you say they have a 50% chance of making it even if they don't win the championship.

So your post contains three different odds of Bama making the pkayoffs, 60%, 50%, and 95% (implied). Your IQ can't be above 75.
