re: Explain why Alabama losing by 21 to an Oky team

Let's be honest. Only 2 teams in the SEC are playing good football right now. Texas and USC.

If they lose to a trash Clemson team they should be bumped. Since when did losing down the stretch become ok in College football? Sure hasn't been that way before this year. They have mucked this entire thing up so bad. Luckily most college football fans are low brow and easily convinced.

Given the expanded playoff, what you're saying opens the door to teams that didn't have to play a conference title game jumping teams that lose a conference title game.

It's not losing down the stretch; the stretch is over. It's losing the conference title game. It's no longer one division winner versus the other; it's the best two teams in the conference. Unless it's a blow out loss or the 2nd best team has 3-4 losses prior to the conference title game, I don't see how they should be penalized for losing. This has played out before; Bama and UGA both going to the CFP when one of them lost to the other in the conference title game.

A previously one-loss SMU losing a close one to Clemson shouldn't get SMU bumped. That's how my low brow sees it.

But yeah we beat Clemson at their place with their playoffs on the line. You don't think we would beat SMU as well if they lose to Clemson on a neutral field?

Why did Georgia lose to said Alabama team?

Deboer emptied the playbook causing Bama to look like azz the next 3 weeks

The committee said Alabama vs top 25 was the difference.

Like when they whooped UGA's arse...AGAIN.

Oh Damn ! That's just brutal !

It started in 2008 with that drubbing at home
2012 - Best chance in Richt's tenure to get a title. Would have def beat ND in the natty just like 'Bama did.
2015 - 'Bama looking wounded after OM loss. UGA favored at home. Again they get run out of their own stadium.
2017 - Another golden opportunity to get a natty. 'Bama shut out the first half of a title game. Georgia blows multiple double digit leads to a true freshman. They'll remember the game-winning TD forever.
2018 - SEC championship. More double digit leads, with Tua going down in the game. Chokes horribly to Hurts, preventing another title opportunity if they would've won.
2020 - Blown out in BDS, hurting their chances for a playoff bid. UF finished it later that year.
2021 - Blown out again, this time in Atlanta. Won the rematch straight up, but everyone knows why.
2023 - Long undefeated streak. 'Bama coming off another horrible IB. Georgia gets run over almost the whole game on both lines of scrimmage. Threepeat opportunity thwarted.
2024 - Still fresh, and the main reason 'Bama is still in playoff consideration despite some bad losses. Georgia fans would be stupid to suggest they're not nervous about a potential rematch somewhere down the line during the CFP.

So yeah, I don't blame them for the little brother attitude. They've experienced so much trauma from 'Bama just in the last 20 years. And they assumed it would all end with Saban leaving.

But the Crimson nightmare continues.

We did. LSU was not a loss. Also there is no transparency in the committee they could drop SMU for Bama in a heart beat and just mumble some words about data points.

Really? The records say it was 36-33 LSU over South Carolina. You don't get credit for the games you should have one.

The way I see it:

Oregon, TX, Penn St, ND, UGA, Ohio St, TN, Indy are locks. That still leaves the winner of 3 other conference title games: ASU/ISU, Boise/UNLV, Clemson/SMU. That puts you at 11. If Clemson loses, that's Bama's in. If SMU loses, SMU should still go, but, I'll give it to you that the committee could pull some shenanigans and put Bama in anyway. Yes, Bama is getting too much love with the likes of Miami, BYU, Ole Miss, and South Carolina right there next to them.
