re: I, for one, am pulling hard for Bama to make the CFP

I will disagree. Alabama has a horrendous schedule. They’re only getting consideration due to their history and brand. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a great history; however, they have done nothing this year to even be remotely considered. If they do beat Auburn, they will have only 1 ranked team win. So, better luck next year and quit scheduling cream puffs. Geaux Tigers
