I understand Dawg. You just don’t want any chance of having to play Bama again. We got it.


Kind of funny. That's a take most are saying. I'm counter to that. You don't conquer fears by running from them. So bring it on. Horns up!!!! You in?

Losing to a crap team and that team having full game control through the second half negates the difference. Sorry, but the first game wasn't a mulligan game. Counts.


Haha. This is art

It does. But Losing to Florida State also does and now that Bama has entered the crowded 2 loss team field that lives as gets more scrutiny.

Additionally Ty Simpson is not seeming to progress as the season goes on and he always seems to have a key fumble.

Bama is good, but they don't seem to have gotten better as the season progressed like many other teams now above them. Maybe Notre Dame is among them. I mean both their losses were very early in the season and according to you Bammers those aren't as bad because reasons.

ANYONE WITH A BRAIN watching the OU vs Bama game knows Bama is the better team. Hell even you know that. If they played 10 times in Tuscaloosa and you had to bet your house on a straight up winner, after watching that game the other night you would bet on Bama every time. Dont lie. Yo better fire that coach or make sure he gets an offensive Co. because what you guys are putting out on offense is putrid. About another year and you will look like Clemson under Dabo.

I guess you missed 2020. ND always gets special treatment.

Committee is ensuring ND gets in and ACC only gets 1 team in playoff.

FSU loss is an albatross around our neck. They suck and that is a bad loss on resume. ND has no such loss. You have to beat who is on your schedule. SOS doesn’t really matter anymore. Committee made that clear last year yet people still try to ignore it.

ND will always get in with two or less losses. I still remember the COVID year

Except for ND where close losses benefit them.

As we learned last year, the committee has high disdain for bad losses.

Bama lost by 14 to a team who lost to Stanford. It’s not that hard.

Notre Dame scares teams way more than bama does. I can guarantee you that.

If nothing changes I actually think it benefits Bama. Who would you rather play Okie or Oregon? I’d pick Oregon all day long

Straight up bullshite right here lol. Don't be sour bro. If you truly had the better team you would have scored at least 1 point in the 4th quarter. The OU defense put the clamps on and shut you out in the 4th and that was the ballgame.

To be honest neither Alabama nor OU looked good in that game. Both may get in the playoffs but neither of them will advance far if they play like they did last week.

No a person with a brain knows that what matters is winning the scoreboard the 1 time you play during the regular season. Been this way since the game was founded.

The 1 time you played, OU had more points in your house. Yes, you doubled up the yardage but you lost the scoreboard.

This is all that matters. Your feels getting hurt are irrelevant.

Counting on help from Mizzou is like counting on RINO’s in Congress.
