he facts are what I have stated; the committee has already ranked two-loss SEC teams over one-loss teams from other conferences because they respect the strength of the conference.
not in the poll that actually matters you fricking moron. A 2 loss team has never made the playoffs. In fact a highly respected 2-loss P5 champion has actually been excluded from thge playoffs in favor of a 1-loss team that they beat!

They have already given precedence.
If the line in the sand you're sticking to is "precedence", then you've already lost your argument because no team wiht 2 losses that didn't win even its division has ever come close to the playoffs.

The irony is you would melt crying if they ranked Georgia under Michigan
I wouldn't melt at all if that happens tomorrow, in fact I have no problem with it at all. The committee starts their rankings from scratch week to week and UM just had probably the biggest win of hte season. Noi problem with them being 1. And after we win the SEC we'll go back to 1, so who cares?

You mean like Ga. did, getting the shite beat out of them in SEC championship game, then backdooring into playoffs.

I'm still confused how Bama is above UT in any of the rankings
Bc UT got embarrassed in both their loses and now has lost their Heisman candidate QB. The committee has to look at those things and historically has.

there wasn't a P5 champion with less than 2 losses to put over us.
Next. Bring something worthy to the discussion please.

Who are you trying to convince?

They do have a chance. Not great but not insanely remote.
UGA and Michigan can lose and will still get in. USC basically in same boat. No one else can lose and be a lock to get in. TCU probably in best position as long as a loss isn’t by 2-3 TDs.

LSU fans, it seems primarily. As the title says, there are quite a few people that have brought up the topic in the last 2 days.

Will it happen?
But if it does…

It's sarcasm. I honestly thought that was obvious.
Bama has no business in the CFP. Neither do we. That's the point.

I do not think Alabama makes the playoffs either (or has earned it), but you sure are focused on the fact that they might (up to the point of trying to say they do not have a path and then laying out a possible one)
One never knows what the committee will do, soooo to sum it up, you have no idea just speculation (along with hope and wish)
Have a great week

I have an annual thread talking about committee decisions and playoff rankings. It's based on facts, not emotions. Many people don't seem to grasp how the committee operates, as evidecned over the last 48 hours (again, mostly by LSU fans but there are others) there have been dozens of threads talkign about alabama getting in. This was a thread to post actaul facts and comparisons of resumes to show why tghat isn't happening. I'm sorry if that kind of discussion is foreign on this board

sure, humans are unpredictable sometimes. however the commitee has operated the EXACT SAME way for 8 yeras, so we have a pretty damn solid idea of what they'll do. Like really solid.

I actually think TCU is in even with a close loss. They have played the toughest schedule and beaten the most ranked teams according to the computers.
I don’t want them im, I’m just saying I think that’s what happens

Weeks out. If LSU and Clemson hadn't fallen on their faces, that wouldn't have been the case this week.

Georgia and Michigan are probably in no matter what happens this weekend. Even if Michigan somehow loses to Purdue, they won't fall below an OSU team they just beat by 3 touchdowns on the road.
TCU, USC, and Ohio State are looming for the last three spots. I think TCU gets one almost no matter what unless they get steamrolled by Kansas State. If USC loses to Utah (entirely possible, Utah is good and has already beaten USC once), then I think Ohio State will get that last spot.

Why would you even want your team to make the playoffs with 2 losses?

You’re dealing with a fan base that will literally shoot one another after a loss. I don’t think self respect is really a deal breaker

Alabama shouldn't be in the playoffs
Also, Georgia fans desperately wanted to be in a 2 team playoff in 2007 with......2 losses. No self respect! Sad!

Some of you can not grasp reality. What is expected and should be on Tuesday is this:
1 UGA
2 UM
3 TCU
4 USC
If all 4 win out that will be the playoffs and I expect it to finish that way.
After that the discussion will be who is 5th & 6th. The 5th place team will have a chance to slide in if either 3 or 4 does not next weekend. The 6th place team will have a chance if both do not win.
Since you want to talk about precedent lets do it.
UA is currently ranked above a UT team that beat them. They are also ranked above a 1 loss Clemson prior to their loss.
In regards to where someone finished it does not matter. Precedent by the committee has already placed twice a non division winner in the playoffs with both Alabama and OSU in previous years. The committee has demonstrated that brand value will give an give an edge why Alabama and OSU being in the 5th & 6th spots come Tuesday will be a major talking point going into the weekend. Anyone else outside of those two your opinion and many others would hold.
When talking about precedent in regards to the playoffs look at what actually has already happened.
In regards to TCU it has happened of getting left out by the committee. And UT does not have Hooker and the committee will use that to justify them not getting in as they are not the same team. And everyone would agree with that.
So to sum it up you are incorrect and in the future do you really need to start a new thread because it would be easy just to contribute to another.
