I hate to be negative. They had a good run.








-3 yards rushing

They lost their playoff game. All they had to do was win the SEC championship - which was their de facto game one -and they advanced in the playoffs.

It would only be fitting that the SEC championship game goes away because Birmingham feels bad for Alabama

Three losses. And a beat-doen yesterday. Alabama doesn't deserve it over Vanderbilt or BYU.

It's definitely not sad, as they had their run.

You’re not wrong, but with this playoff system every coach and team has to lobby for themselves. I hate watching Texas beg, but I do understand and get it. Remember when Texas was placed over Cal Berkeley in the 2005 Rosebowl against Michigan. It was the fact that Mack Brown was begging the football gods (media and coaches) and it worked. Cal went on to get smoked by Texas Tech in the Holiday Bowl. Texas beat Michigan in a BCS game.

Isn’t the purpose of the CFB playoffs to decide the best team in the field? If this is the case, why isn’t 13-0 Indiana ranked #1 this morning? Bama should be out with three losses.

Not sure why Alabama wants in


Bc they know the days of Saban are over, so now they’re going to hang their hat on playoff appearances.

The real sadness is how quick puppy fans forget 2023.

“If [Georgia isn’t] one of the best four teams out there … I don’t believe any man or woman sitting on that committee doesn’t believe that’s one of the best four teams … that was No. 1 coming into it.”


Smart begging because they got left out after losing to Alabama.

Doesn't Bama ALWAYS beg to get into the playoffs? This isn't new for backdoorU
Cheat.

They only had to call back two Auburn TD's to stay considered. So yep nothing new under the sun.

Losing they make the call to SEC B'ham for any review they need. And the real shame is they even had to make the call against such a lack luster AU team.

Long as Bama has Deboer they will be soft, finesse and lack good fundamentals on offense.

Watching UG fans bark after getting their first legit win over Bama since the Bush administration is even sadder

Is it really any different than last year?

Then they were 9-3 arguing that SMU should be dropped below them after losing the ACCCG.

Now they're 10-3 arguing they shouldn't be dropped below Miami and ND after losing the SECCG.


Imagine being a fan of an SEC team and arguing the ACC is equal. What a total loser you are.
