re: A UGa Win and Alabama still making the Playoffs: Chaos for the P5 Conferences

if those teams were in ACC, you would say they are trash. their qb's suck. lol

if SEC and ACC sucks is so good why has Clemson owned the rivalry with SC.

pitt could def stay in the game with SEC teams outside of Alabama. lol

pitt played a tough schedule this year...at UCF, at Miami, Penn State, ND, etc. They did have the bad UNC loss. UCF whipped AUburn last year and that was Auburn's best team in a long time.

No, they don't.

think Cuse, NCSU, BC (if QB and RB are healthy) and other ACC teams could beat LSU, Florida, Kentucky, Auburn, etc. I don't know what you are watching but I get the feeling you don't want anything but SEC network. lol

all of the conferences were down this year. UGA g

Acc was down. Sec was the best again.

To the Original Post.. I do think a 2 SEC scenario this year would cause some major playoff reconfiguring. This would be the first time that you are leaving 3 P5 confs out; but more importantly you would be leaving 2 confs out with arguably better records and accomplishments than a team you put in. You are strictly just saying you want one team in and not the others.

The last couple of years there was still controversial debate; however the team with less losses got in and that was defendable.

This would not be the case... you basically saying; we don’t care that tOSU went 12-1 and won the B10; we don’t care that OU went 12-1, won the B12, avenged their only loss; we don’t care that bama has the same record but loss their conf. That is a really hard sell to 90% of the country.

I love how Bama fans love pointing out that ND doesn’t have to play this week; yet last year it was no problem for Bama to stay home.

I love how everyone points to ND schedule, forget the part that they played 10 P5 games compared to SEC and ACC teams 9. And their non P5 games were against Navy and a MAC team. Not sunbelt teams and FCS teams. Don’t worry about the fact that ND plays 5 ACC teams, but their schedule sucks.... ok well if theirs does... Clemson’s does too.

I’ve always been for expanding the playoffs to 8 while giving ConfChamps automatics...

But the idea floated this week may be even better.

Do away with divisions and conf Champ games.... moves army Navy to this week and have an 8 team playoff starting next week....

if SEC is so good and competitive, why does Alabama rarely lose. lol LSU is one of the best SEC programs and has lost 8 times in a row to Alabama. if your team is playing truly great teams on a regular basis, shouldn't it lose more?

I think the fact that Clemson has played 4 different ACC teams in the title game is evidence the league is more competitive.

I swear you have to be a 12 yo girl. If you actually think playing a 5 loss team in your championship game makes your league more competitive you are either the biggest troll on this board or are just clueless.

Go Pitt

So you think OSU beating a 4 loss Northwestern to win their CG but yet losing to a 6 win Purdue is a better 12-1 record then UA at 12-1 only losing to UGA who the committee says is one of the 4 beat teams in the country. If so your narrative is naive and foolish.

Do you not watch football. Some of you get so caught up on P5 tags need to actually look at these teams. But what you are saying we should give ND credit for beating ACC teams that have 6 losses, 6 losses, 7 losses, and 10 losses or to a 7 loss USC team. I do not care what P5 G5 or division you play in if you are a bad team you are just that a bad team.

This demonstrates to me you do not watch CFB at all. Based on what you and many others have suggested fail to grasp the concept of the national champion should be the best team in the country. Instead you would be ok come Sunday that a 1 loss, 3 loss, 3 loss, 4 loss, and a 5 loss team could be playing for a NC. Higher education at its finest. Maybe next you will get the YMCA to sponsor the league and everyone will get a medal.

If Bama loses SEC title game; I think committee rejects Bama this time around even though Bama is clearly one of the best 4 teams this year. Many folks within college football have Bama fatigue, and if given any opening, they'll have reason to let that Bama fatigued flow...

Plus, good fortune doesn't normally follow Bama teams that are ranked #1 throughout regular season or #1 right before bowl/playoffs. Bama usually puts it all together when coming up from behind #1. This was so in Bama's past with "The Bear", and I think 2009 Bama is Saban's only Bama team to win title, while ranked #1 during last game. Hmmmm.....let me check and then I'll make a list to chew on....

------ Bama's last 8 National titles won ------

Bama ranked behind #1 late
1978 #2 Bama -vs- #1 Penn St
1979 #4 Bama -vs- #6 Ark
1992 #2 Bama -vs- #1 Miami
2011 #2 Bama -vs- #1 LSU
2012 #2 Bama -vs- #1 Notre Dame
2015 #2 Bama -vs- #1 Clemson
2017 #4 Bama -vs- #3 Georgia
Bama is 7-0 when ranked below #1

Bama ranked #1 late
2009 #1 Bama -vs- #2 Texas
(But #2 Bama was behind #1 Florida before game)
2013 #1 Bama -vs- #4 Auburn
2014 #1 Bama -vs- #4 Ohio St.
2016 #1 Bama -vs- #2 Clemson
Bama is 1-3 when ranked #1 late

In above games, Bama had a chance for 11 titles late, but 3 of the 4 times Bama was ranked #1 heading into the final stretch, Bama came up short in those scenarios. Historically, Bama's remaining opponents this season have to love this!!! Maybe Bama would be best served to have Georgia win SEC title game, but anything is possible, Bama could overcome historical-norms this season. Sure hope so, undefeated is very difficult these days and it would be one heck of an accomplishment for this Bama team.
