What’s hilarious is that you seem to not have the balls to want to get a piece of Georgia and revenge.

Bring em on. We won’t be favored, but a Georgia win would be damn delicious.

I don’t want injuries for no reason, but I’m perfectly fine with Bama winning the last SEC Championship.

This all has to stop. When Tenner beat us, you WERE ranked ahead of us.

But the very next week, you LOST to a team.. we kicked the shite out of.

So we flip flopped. It’s that simple. You’ve lost.. and we’ve kept winning.

Also, everyone knows after that Georgia bama game.. we were both banged up. Played again.. We beat you and Georgia beats Auburn.

Don’t worry. You might actually play the real Alabama in the CFP.

Maybe the “Real Bama” might get past the fifty yard line.

If you think Tennessee’s offense will do better than Ole Miss’s against Georgia, I’m guessing you will have bad night in December if UT goes.

If all the 2-loss teams win out, Alabama goes due to opponent winning percentage under the new tie-breaker rules.

quote:
1. Georgia (8 - 1)
2. Alabama (7 - 2)
Above Kentucky, Tennessee, and Texas based on conference opponent win percentage (0.4815).
3. Kentucky (7 - 2)
With Tennessee and Texas, below Alabama based on conference opponent win percentage (0.4568).
Above Tennessee and Texas based on conference opponent win percentage (0.4568).
4. Texas (7 - 2)
With Kentucky and Tennessee, below Alabama based on conference opponent win percentage (0.4198).
With Tennessee, below Kentucky based on conference opponent win percentage (0.4198).
Above Tennessee based on head-to-head record (1-0).
5. Tennessee (7 - 2)
With Kentucky and Texas, below Alabama based on conference opponent win percentage (0.4444).
With Texas, below Kentucky based on conference opponent win percentage (0.4444).
Below Texas based on head-to-head record (0-1).

This also remains true if Kentucky loses; Alabama still goes.

The biggest reason Alabama's opponent winning % stays above the others is because they're the only team with 2-losses that played Georgia.

Texas did not play Georgia, Alabama, or Kentucky - only one of the top 4 teams

Tennessee did not play Georgia, while Alabama did not play Texas; however, Tennessee DID play the bottom 3 - Texas A&M, Arkansas, and Vandy while Alabama only plays two of those (Arkansas was not on Alabama's schedule).

This is moot if LSU beats both (Alabama goes if they win out); if LSU splits then the winner goes because Texas beat Tennessee (they would be 3-0 against common opponents while Alabama would be 2-1)
