And when they are ranked #6 and #7 that seems pretty comparable to me. Not like UT is ranked 3 or 4 spots behind them.

I mean… what is there for you that you don’t understand?
Every piece of shite who demanded a playoff said they wanted it decided on the field. Well, it was decided on the field.

Now you want to change the rules to have your cake and eat it too.

I think what you meant to say is, it's like 52-49 never happened.

40-13 happened to on the road while that team scored 13 points is the same team that beat Bama.

this SI.com article from a few weeks ago states:

Selectors are allowed to use a variety of advanced analytics to gauge teams' performance, but those numbers don't play a formal role in determining Top 25 rankings, which is a decision made by selectors' own judgement.

Bama is one bad pass interference call against Tennessee away from being a one loss division champ.
How does it feel to get fricked over by the refs? I hope it hurts. I hope it hurts real bad.

Your 2 blowout losses happened, so the others boxes weren’t required.

None of that matters because Alabama had excuses for losing...and the sun was in their eyes.

Texas was multiple very bad no calls from beating Bama.
Texas cheated by the refs

aTm was 1 yard away from beating Bama. The refs helped you all night in the aTm game and everyone seen it.
Missed PI call. aTm robbed by the refs

Clock operator helps Bama.

These are 2 of Bama’s most impressive wins. Lol. Aided by the refs.

Similar to 2011..

Bama gave the LSU game away.. Bama was clearly the better team and proved it in National Title Game.

Once again, beat Bama on the filed. Beat the other team that beat Bama, on the field. Bama gifted two wins by the refs.

I know you are a Bama fan, and that indicates you are extremely stupid. Try to find someone with three digits in their IQ to explain it to you




What an insufferable fricktard you are. Anyone with more brain cells than a dog turd...which obviously excludes you...understands that giving up a historically putrid 63 points to a 7-4 team takes you completely out of any discussion.

Alabama has never given up 63 points in the entire 120 year history of the program.

Here's a serious question: are you really this fricking stupid, or is this just some lame troll attempt? Under 100 posts makes me inclined to believe your just a bad troll and not really as fricking stupid as you're pretending to be.

Why the frick can't you hillbillies learn to read? Or do you just willfully choose to ignore the controlling statement before those criteria are even mentioned?

"When circumstances at the margins indicate that teams are comparable...,"

The buttfricking USC gave Tennessee is of monumentally historic proportions. I don't know all the details of your program's sad history, but Alabama hasn't given up 63 points in the entire 120 year history of the program...and it was by a 7-4 team.

What South Carolina did to Tennessee was such an utterly fricking embarassment that in the minds of the committee members it relegated Tennessee so far down that they no longer regard Tennessee as being comparable to Alabama...any more than aTm is comparable to LSU just because they won a game. So those criteria that followed are irrelevant, because in the minds of the committee members, Tennessee isn't comparable to Alabama, no matter how precious your last second win is to you.

You hillbillies want to treat the USC loss as just another loss. The committee clearly regards it as completely disqualifying of Tennessee in any comparison with Alabama. You may not like it, but it's obvious that was their mindset. If you people are too fricking stupid to grasp that, there's literally no helping you.

The thing is that it wasn’t a close loss to UGA. The final score wasn’t indicative to how dominated TN was in that game, and the playoff committee saw that. Both of losses were beat downs. The kicker is that one of the beat downs was to the Gamecocks.


Remind me how far OSU dropped when they got beaten by Michigan by far more.

We lost on the road to UGA by 2 more points than the spread.

As for SC... they're not an unranked team anymore. Them beating Clemson improved that loss a great deal but everyone's refusing to acknowledge that.

I don’t think they give a shite about the Vegas spread. How irrelevant are you trying to get?

Just pointing out that we lost by far less to UGA than OSU did to Michigan and yet we were punished FAR MORE for losing to the number one team. I wouldn't expect a Dawg fan to understand the hypocrisy.
