This is just sad.

Incidentally, when Bama had the chance to prove its worth against a top 4 team, they thumped the team decisively in a game that was more of a mismatch than the two TD margin of victory showed. When ND and UF had the same chance, they lost. How does that figure into your theory?

I don't find it to be pathetic to state the realisation that Bama is ranked too high because of people's feelings of how good they are. If Bama keeps winning, they will earn that #2 or maybe even #1 spot. There is no rush in putting them there.

Our Freshman/Sophomore led secondary is very vulnerable, you have to have a QB/WRs combo who can exploit that.

The only QBs that have given this defense fits are those who can run and pass.

If LSU's plan is to try to out Arkansas Arkansas Saturday, they will lose.

Notre Dame was in line to score and win that game. They really outplayed Clemson. LSU is not a top 4 team based on the way they played. This is not an equal comparison.

So...and forgive me if I'm a little slow...your logic is that a team shouldn't be ranked high because people feel that they're good? Can you restate that premise and conclusion as a syllogism for us to examine more closely?

How can any of us believe the opinions of a LSU fan? These people are not good at predictions.

Brought to you by the same people that said LSU would go iform and pound Bama with stats. When that failed to work they accused Cam of being one dimensional and lacking creativity. LSU played the way every fan wanted and it wasn't strong enough.

What an odd argument. ND outplayed a top team and lost, so they deserve to be in the top 4. Bama outplayed a top team and won, so they don't.

I'm going to suggest deductive logic might not be your strong point. Nothing wrong with that. Lots of people have great intuitive ability. But you might want to stick with whatever your strength is.

The only SEC teams with any argument to be in the playoff are Alabama, LSU, and Florida. Alabama embarrassed LSU and will have a chance to beat Florida in a few weeks (assuming they win out). If Alabama beats both of those teams, who cares who their loss was to?

If Bama's loss looks so bad what in the heck does that say about L5U's loss

Then what is your problem with them being in the top 2?

Once you're in the top 4, what difference does it make?

In the playoff is in the playoff.

At this point, there is enough objective information out there to make a fair comparison of where they stand. To claim that a loss at home to Ole Miss is better than being undefeated or losing to the #1 team in the nation doesn't seem to stack up. The eyeball test is how we are doing this thing though, so that's fine. I don't think it really matters because I believe Bama would make their way to the playoff anyway and always thought that to be the case.

I can't recall threads on the tiger rant about how bad the loss to Kentucky was and how they didn't deserve to be in it in 07...

I agree with you. The win over LSU is nothing to get overly fired up about.
Yall have not been dominant in any of your wins sans Auburn and maybe USCe.

But to counter, you think Florida should be ranked higher?
It took a lot of 4th down magic to beat Tennessee, squeaked out a win over Vanderbilt, etc.
Where has Florida looked so good?
Oh, that's right, against a back up QB against Georgia.

Apparently not.

Are you saying Notre Dame beat themselves?

I don't believe they have earned that yet. I do believe they can earn it though. If a 1 loss Bama is better than an undefeated Ohio State, Okie State, Iowa, Baylor, 1 loss Notre Dame, 1 loss Standford....then isn't it feasible that a 2 loss Bama could be viewed as stronger than a 1 loss Ohio State, Okie State, Iowa, Baylor, or 2 loss Notre Dame?

Wait a minute...in 2011 we were told that quality wins vastly outweighed quality losses. Remember? Alabama lost by 3 to the number 1 team in the country...Oklahoma state lost to a team that barely made a bowl...Oklahoma state deserved to go to the championship...remember? Do you remember?
