Not as bad as getting blown out by one of the teams you’re trying to convince a committee you deserve to be in over

Not saying they are, but they’re trying to make money on people making uninformed bets (I have no real opinion on whether the bet is good or not). May just be less money headed our way, again, due to recency bias and capturing hype.

It should be South Carolina. Right now the best teams, in order are:

South Carolina
Alabama
Ole Miss

I’m sorry to tell you that losing to Kentucky at home actually is worse than us losing to Ole Miss. The committee will weigh losses and y’all blew it with that one.

Alabama will get in and deservedly so.

I'm just enjoying the fun

If we don't make it, oh well. I predicted 5 wins this year

Who has SCAR beat? Clemson and that's it.

Alabama and Ole Miss have much better wins and also both beat South Carolina.

Alabama and Ole Miss will both be ahead of Carolina.

Miami may be in-between Alabama and Ole Miss though

Im sorry to tell you but the committee has shown they favor head to head matchups over anything else when it comes to ranking teams with the same record that played each other.

The lone exception was Alabama over Tennessee.

If you think a committee is going to ignore that we blew y’all out 27-3 at home because we lost to Kentucky, then you’re just not a rational individual

I truly think you can talk yourself into any of the 3 and make a pretty reasonable argument depending on what you believe matters the most.


This.

Biases aside, it depends if you’re a “best loss” or “best win” or “head-to-head + x” or “SOS” person on which team is most deserving from your opinion.

Then, of course, the haters will simply change metrics based on whichever means the team they hate is left out.

My method of choosing will be eliminating teams that have no shade of blue in their logo. Checkmate nerds.

Losing to 6-6 Oklahoma by three touchdowns in week 14 is worse than the early season, three point loss to Kentucky.

Losing on the road to a bowl team is not as bad as losing at home to one if the worst P4 teams in the country

Right, until you account for ALL the facts,
which are that Alabama lost by THREE TOUCHDOWNS to a 6-6 “bowl team” in Week 14.

Personally all 3 should be gifted a spot into the CFP. Anyone of the. Would beat Indiana, SMU, ND, ACC Champ.

When you take into account all the facts, Ole Miss lost to one of the worst P4 teams in the country. Their wins were Southern Miss, Ohio, Murray St., & Ole Miss.

The fact of the matter to me is this, they could put any one of the three in and the other two have no reason to complain.

Lets look at how all 3 teams finished the season in last 6 games:

SC: 6-0
Bama: 4-2
OM: 4-2

I think that matters.
