I'm arguing because I'm correct. You'll either admit it or stop arguing with me. There is no third option.

MState was #16 when Alabama played them.


#18, right?

Interesting thing is, if you take either of the losses away, Ohio State would probably have gone to the playoffs.


Even a closer loss to Iowa might have been good enough.

Option #2, then. I'm OK with that.

No Smart was able to adjust because AU didn’t have their top 3 backs for the most part. They trucked Bama and UGA with a somewhat healthy Johnson. Y’all got fricking lucky to face a depleted AU team without Pettway and Johnson being MAYBE 50%.

They were full strength when they lost to a team that lost to Troy.

Wisconsin’s schedule was so bad and they looked so unimpressive all year that OSU was punished for only beating them by a few points. That’s how pathetic they were.

You can stop now. You look silly.

Due to the fact that
TAMU
ARKY
OLE MISS
TENN
ALL FIRED THEIR COACHES - who y’all played as well as us is a great schedule?
Hell Fisher was about to get run from FSU had it not been for his extension.

LSU had the 47th strength of schedule and that was y’all best win. That is what is putting y’all ahead of them?

Underseving.
They were punished for playing in a championship game and losing to the #6 ranked team. Y’all lost to a 3 Loss AU team who played the same shitty SEC West teams.

Pretty sure 2 of them played in the game. Did I miss something or did you? We were also told by Auburn fans before the game, that the game would be won along the LOS, and they would dominate us there. I don't believe anybody along their LOS missed the game. I would also tell you, since you obviously missed it, that Sony Michel left the game and did not play after halftime.

But you , not the Auburn fans seem to remember that, do you?

LSU, according to Sagarin had the 61st SOS and Alabama had the 57th.

FWIW, Georgia's was 31st.

Hey sweetheart...

7 of Wisconsin’s 12 regular season opponents had losing records, and they didn’t schedule a single Power 5 OOC game.

I’m sorry that hurts your feelings so badly. RTR.

I think Penn State and Ohio State could definitely win a playoff. They both have very solid units and some flaws much like the 4 that are in. Either one could certainly beat Alabama (or Clemson, or Georgia, or Oklahoma).

Alabama would not lose to Wisconsin. Anybody using their actual brain knows that. That's not to take anything away from Wisconsin, I love the way they play and they are an excellent football team, but they wouldn't score 10 points. Miserable matchup for them.

Wisconsin played 11 P5 teams this season, and zero FCS teams.

They'd probably only need nine.

9-6, Wisconsin.

Neat. At this point, you understand you’re arguing that Wisconsin deserved to be in over OSU - and doing so just to spite the big bad bammers in this thread, right?

Silly.

Recent history surely tells us that Alabama struggles with the gritty little I-Formation, 3-star upstarts of the Big Ten, Wisconsin and Michigan State.

Recent history


Recent history tells us that Alabama has a bad offense and can't stop a QB that can throw a football. Hornibrook would pick them apart for at least three field goals.

Hornibrook would also probably hand us 2 TDs. And/or die, like most MSU/Wisky QBs have against us the last 3 meetings.

Nah. Not even the Turnover Chain could stop Hornibrook.
