No. But South Carolina also lost 8 games. We lost 3...all close scores to top-10 teams. You only beat one ranked team. You might've had an argument with a healthy Tua, but Auburn was a more complete team this year.

Maybe? But only because you are playing a team like Michigan and not Minnesota.

Possibly true. But when these selections are made, they are taking into account that the teams will fill the seats, not just TV screens.

Come on man. I try to stay pretty balanced, but the IB isn't close with Tua distributing the football. Everything runs at a different speed with him in the game.

Bama might have had a chance without Tua if they had a PK with any semblance of reliability

I didn't say you might've had a chance with Tua when it's pretty clear he probably would've been the difference in that particular game. I said Auburn was the better team without Tua (and all the other injuries). Injuries are part of the game, as we can attest to in 2017.

Guess you don't remember Auburn's last trip to the Sugar Bowl.

I wonder which game will have the higher ratings?

Tampa is much, much nicer than Orlando. Orlando is the most overrated city in America.

Non selection committee bowls aren’t decided by ranking but rather where you placed in the conference. Bama placed ahead of AU

Tampa >>>> Orlando anyways especially on New Years

This. And Busch Gardens amusement park in Tampa is better than anything in Orlando anyways

Citrus gets first choice. They chose Bama. Deal with it.
