This is not correct imo. If Wisky loses. Bama is in if they lose a close game to the barn.

Guaranteed

I think it would be more likely for bama to get in in that scenario if they lost to UGA in the SECCG than losing to Barn.

With a Wisky loss i think they are in with either loss coming to barn or UGA.

Auburn will remain a top 10 team with a win over bama and even a loss to uga in seccg.

Bama should end up having wins over 2 other top 15 teams and their only loss coming to a top 10 team that beat two #1s

If both Wisky and Ok lose there is absolutely no doubt Bama is in with any loss.

Their only competition would be a 1 loss miami if close in the Acc title game.

Yeah I think we're all in agreement that most of this depends on whether Wisky wins the big ten.

Watching Wisconsin get in and get boat raced while I can name three or four teams better than them despite record will suck.
Michigan is not a very good team, Michigan state is even worse. Miamis lone great win is over a propped up ND team whose only claim to being good was a one point loss to Georgia.

I think there is a 50% chance the if the barn wins out they and Bama are in with a Wisky loss. If OK loses they both are in 100% with a Wisky loss too.

What an original and timely post to make. It is bizarre that no one thought to make this post prior to today. Well done sir.

It'll suck, sure. However, an undefeated power 5 conference champion deserves to be in.

No, you would have the two best Bama wins against MSU and LSU. If either of those teams loses again, it would be even worse.

ARMAGEDDON SCENARIO:

Ohio State beats Wisky for the Big Ten

Auburn Beats UGA for the SEC

Clemson Loses to USC but wins the ACC

Oklahoma is pretty much just in at this point so irrelevant.


Now... the Big Ten, SEC, Acc, and Pac 12 all have 2 loss champions while there are also 3 one loss teams in Bama, Wisky, and Miami. With conference champions being weighed heavily in the decision of the true final 4, does the final four consist of 4 of the conference champs or does one of the 1 loss teams sneak in?

Clemson also has the best SOS and wins of anyone also.


They've beaten Auburn and NC State. That's it. Hell, LSU beat Auburn.

Again, they lost to Syracuse, which is currently 7th in the ACC Atlantic division. Sorry, ain't buyin' it.
