Bama was 4 in the bcs in 2008

Yall would have gotten in even counting the late loss for a playoff

However, yall did not deserve in over Oklahoma in a two team system even if your loss was the first game of the year


I'm not saying we would've gotten in over OU. If we had lost to UF early and they lost to Ole Miss late, that might've had some effect on the human polls that could've put Alabama in over Florida but that's probably a reach and that's a rabbit hole that will just waste everyone's time.

While the BCS had us 4th and USC 5th after the SEC Championship game, I imagine that USC having the PAC-10 crown and Alabama having the most recent loss would've changed the dynamic if both were vying for that 4th playoff spot.

They would also have two ranked wins including a likely top 10 win over Ohio State compared to yalls 1 ranked win over #15


Honestly the SEC was a shitshow in 2008. How did yall only have 1 ranked win? We must have sucked. Sorry about that
