So name the more deserving teams Alabama would be getting in over.


I guess Clemson? Especially if they beat SC. Watching my Sooners vs Bama didn’t look like their team was 100%. Their recruits are better than the performance. I’m sure Bama fans would know more than I would but that being said, like it or not Bama would still beat most teams in the playoffs

Explain the money part. I've never understood why people equate Alabama with money


It's not about bama having money, it's about the money the fans spend... the money made off the name, and so forth. People that are bama fans are probably not from Alabama, probably never attended the school and will likely never have kids that go there. These "fan" jumped on the fan train after saban won his second title and they wanted to part of that new wave where people thought it was cool being a fan of a team that wins.

I say.... frick bama and their paper fans.

Clemson got blown out at a neutral site by the same team Alabama beat four weeks later. Their schedule since then has also been absolute trash.

This is just more for arguments sake than anything really. Alabama isn't a NC quality team.

BV knows how to stop an offense that relies on a few things too much, and he applied the game plans from previous teams on what worked. So while not the outcome expected in that game, it's also not the biggest shocker either. BV stopped Tua when Clemson won 44-16.

I'm not sure how the SoS will be affected by Clemson playing USC, but they will get a bump because FEI currently has USC as #12, and Clemson at #14 power wise. I think USC would and should get in over Alabama if they beat Clemson.

If it's the other way around, not so much. USC is likely to end with a top10 schedule strength, higher than Alabama. Clemson might move into the top35.

I honestly couldn’t think of any. If there were any teams that would still compete, that’s about it. I would like to see Tulane play SMU and Boise on a neutral site.

Why should they get in over a more deserving team?



Not trying to argue Bama belongs this year. But a 12 team playoff? I don't see how this helps the game at all.

I wouldn't. They're as bad as the other two you mentioned.

When they lost by 21 points to an unranked team, tacking on a third loss.
UGA dropped 9 spots when we got our second loss and we lost to a top 10 team by 18.

Seems like some of these people need to get off of Bama's dick.

Don't be alarmed about this. Auburn shall finish Alabama off after the Iron bowl game.

I’ve been against it since the start. We had blowouts with just four teams. Now we’ll just get more
