One time when Bama was banned from post season, they scheduled an extra game in Hawaii.


Did it in 2002 and 2003. At that time there was (and may still be) a loophole that let teams who played @Hawaii have an extra regular season game. When Bama got the post-season ban, they scheduled the the games for the week after the Iron Bowl.

The reasoning given was that it was to be a reward to the players - and I'm sure they enjoyed the trip - but have no doubt it was a big double middle finger to the NCAA.

It's a little different than the Vandy situation though. They were scheduled months before the start of the 2002 season.

I really doubt it happens but it appears they really are trying to do an extra game. More power to them. I just don't know who would be knocked out to allow them in or if the committee would even consider these games.

They probably do belong in the playoffs but the committee has to jam the participation trophy teams down our throats.

You’re right about the committee. They probably won’t accept the result if the game this year. It may not be for nothing though. These are the types of things that force change. One way or another

Play tu on a neutral field since they’re the first two out. They didn’t really lose to tu, they just ran out of time.
