Only because before the SECCG Auburn was ranked 2nd.

Bama is 9th, has three losses and the worst loss of all in consideration.


Nah. The more teams that are allowed in the more it becomes like this. Look at the number of undefeated teams this year. Then look at the number of 1 loss teams, number of 2 loss teams, etc.

It gets to be more and more the more losses you go up as a general rule.

And the more teams they add to the playoffs, the worse it will be.

Ohio State’s offense looked like hot garbage today.


But that’s not a trend. They’ve looked great all year. Half the season Bamas has looked terrible. Their last month alone has been disgusting.

Here’s how chatGPT, and Bill C, would describe it:

“It’s designed to be a predictive measure — meaning it tries to estimate how good a team actually is and how it would perform moving forward, not just reward past wins.”

It thinks Alabama would get beat by 11 teams on a neutral field.

Squatch- how are they the 2nd best in the SEC but yet have 3 losses and lost to Florida State....tell me how they belong in the playoffs after getting crushed by 21.


If you believe the SECCG is played by the #1 and #2 teams in the SEC then the loser would be the second best team.

Yeah, my metrics were predictive as well. Did you not read what I just typed up there guy? I used them to predict the scores of games.

Well, his metric is relatively famous and tracks Vegas odds well. It says Alabama is #12. Yours is unknown so I can’t comment. Hope you didn’t lose too much today by betting on them based on your metric.

We were ranked 4th pre-season. Tomorrow we will be ranked 2nd. How does this make our pre-season ranking 'overrated?'
Tomorrow isn't the final rankings.

Are you saying just establish the final CFP rankings based on last week's poll? Or, only count the results if you win and it moves you up? Sorry, it has to be treated as another data point...losing bad has consequences. Can't have it only one way.

I'm just going to assume you can't read.

Also, I don't bet on games. The game prediction was a test of it's overall accuracy. AKA if it does a good job predicting the winners of games, then it must have a pretty good read on those teams. Of course many games are extremely easy to predict, while others aren't.

Metrics today had Georgia winning for the record. They were the #3 team in the country and Alabama was the #9. It's not like it was an upset.

Bama lost to OK and didn't play A&M or Ole Miss. Just because you won the tiebreaker doesn't mean you were the 2nd best team in the SEC, only the chosen representative in the Championship Game...there is a difference.

I call bullshite. They should drop at least 2 places - putting others in the CFP.
