Thank you!!! Who cares what either one of them is ranked right now. Why is this an issue?
I think it matters because both USC and TCU could well lose this weekend, and if that matters it could be possible for #6 to slip in.

Still don’t mean the pass interference didn’t happen. It most definitely happen. It most definitely called late. But it still happened. Nothing bogus about it.

Not at all. Crazy as it sounds after hooker injury, had we beat sc, i didn care to make playoff. Didnt wana shown up half cocked and letdown. Happy to make a ny6, and hopefully finish strong. Was a fun year. Tell me in august we would be 10-2 today beating bama fla and lsu, and a ny6 bowl id take it every day of the week

Bama is 0-2 against top 15 teams.
UT is 2-1 against Top 15 teams
UT is 2-0 against common opponents
Bama is 1-1 against common opponents
UT won Head to head
UT has better strength of schedule
Bama best wins are against #20 Texas and #25 Miss State. Both have lost 4 games each.
UT best wins are against #6 Bama, and #14 LSU on the road.
It’s pretty clear that UT has a better resume and “body of work”. Yes it’s true that bama is 2 plays away from being 12-0. But it’s also true bama is 2 plays away from being 8-4 also.

That Bama was two referee gifts away fron being a 4 loss team.
Lulz Tennessee only beat Alabama because of the refs. LSU can also thank the refs for conveniently missing a "block in the back" call on their last TD play against Alabama.

I don’t really think the “lost by 4 combined points holds much water”. You could argue that Alabama was a few plays away from losing to, Ole Miss, Texas AM and Texas.

Idiotic Bammers conveniently forget that the refs were letting them slide all day.
This was not called.
YOU GOT BEAT! Deal with it.
LOL UT won based on a bogus PI call that decided the game not to mentioned several missed roughing the passer penalties, period. Still does not change the fact that Bama has not lost to an unranked team since 2007 while UT gave up 63 points to one and lost by 27.

It does when their competition for the spot got destroyed two times this month.

Time and distance offers clarity.
You can't give away a game more completely than how Alabama gave that game to Tennessee and they could still barely win it.
This is the real reason Tennessee sits behind Alabama.

I’m simply going off what the guidelines that CFP committee has on its website. If you go off of their own guidelines UT should be ahead of Bama. We not talking about how bad the losses are. We all know. But by the CFP own guidelines if they would have followed it, then it would have been UT. The complaint is the CFP just make up shite S they go if the their guidelines done get what they want. Then they make up other shite that makes no seance.

I kind of doubt it. I think they know they had a terrible loss at South Carolina that Alabama never would have had.

Both UT losses are by ranked teams. If you wanna use the “they wasnt ranked when they played” then UF, Pitt, and Kentucky count as ranked wins then right?

As another poster posted:

All you Vol fans want to overlook the very first statement in the selection criteria... "When circumstances at the margins indicate that teams are comparable...," If that statement isn't true, then the remaining criteria are meaningless.

You forgot the rest of it. But I assume you done that on purpose as it wouldn’t still fit your narrative. But I’ll complete it for ya.
When circumstances at the margins indicate that teams are comparable, then the following criteria must be considered:
Championships won
Strength of schedule
Head-to-head competition (if it occurred)
Comparative outcomes of common opponents (without incenting margin of victory)
And again by the CFP own standards UT still checks every box as a comparable team over Bama. No one is missing anything. The CFP is failing to go off its own standards it set.

They didn’t go to the rest of it because they don’t view yall as comparable.

It’s obvious we are comparable when one is ranked #6 and one is ranked #7. And the #7 checks every box by the CFP metrics over the #6 team
