Oh and those two opponents Bama had bad losses to had a combined 12 losses, while SMU’s two losses came against a combined 5-loss teams.

In the end you are punishing SMU for playing an extra game if you allow in Bama.

Has it occurred to you that the 6-6 teams Bama lost against were 6-6 because they were playing in the SEC and not the ACC?


Vandy lost to Goergia State.

Clemson has a better defense than Alabama but couldn't stop SMU in second half

it'll be sweet if Clemson's win tonight knocks Bama out.

Yea you can. 0 ranked wins and terrible SOS. They are not a playoff caliber team. Would be 6-6 in the SEC. It’s hilarious to see people pumping up a team who got blown out for half the game and blew it at the end lol. But honestly, who cares? This playoff is dumb anyways. If they want to put in SMU to get blown out in the first round as an easy W for Notre dame or Texas — and draw terrible ratings —
they can go ahead.

They have 0 ranked wins and just lost to the 17th place team who will only make the playoffs due to AQ status.
And Bama didn't because they lost to 2 unranked teams and got blew out by 1. Just upsetting a team that's in isn't a spot clinching rule for the Playoff.

UGA and Bama are in no way rivals. UGA is more of a rival with South Carolina and Clemson than we are with Bama.

Bama is a just a very good team UGA plays sometimes (more often when both are good and meet in the SECCG or playoffs).

Alabama is 3-1 against the top25 including a win over what will be the #2 team.

SMU is 0-2 while playing a schedule 3 times easier than Alabama's.

Just like the last time the committee left Bama out in this situation, this would only result in embarrassment for them.

12 team playoff is dumb, but the ratings won't be terrible That's why there's a 12 team playoff.

or a few weeks removed from a Bama team being obliterated by a bad, injured Oklahoma team.

TCU won the semifinal. That justified the selection.

I am pulling for the best teams that will produce the best games. That’s not SMU. Your conference sucks. Good luck in the playoff — maybe we will get to beat that arse again.
