I say use the coaches poll - Bama 11 & SCAR 12. You can find fault with all polls but hell I trust the coaches more than any other entity


please go listen to some coaches and how they do their votes...most of them let someone else do it. They are wrapped up in their world and not the world of other teams across the country

so a 2 point win 7 weeks ago to a team that is winning top 25 games outweighs getting boat raced by a 6-6 team just a week ago?


Yeah, especially when you lost to Ole Miss as well by 24 at home.

No matter how much you try you can't wish those losses away

Let's look at the losses of Bama and Ole Miss then. We lost to our best teams and they lost to trash. Sounds good.

It could also be because, you know, Alabama beat South Carolina.


it could be, but if thats the case then OM should be ahead of you. They beat us by 24....as opposed to 2.

both games were 7 and 8 weeks ago. You don't get to live on a 2 point win for 8 weeks. A lot of football happens

Wait im sorry what. UK was 1-7 in Conference, OU and Vandy were 3-5, and UF was 4-4.... that shite is all about the same.


How is a 1-7 team being worse than two 3-5 teams confusing? If you're trying to split hairs to make a case for SC or OM, why sweep something like that under the rug? Also, both 'Bama's losses were on the road. OM lost at home.

OM has the FAR better win by blowing out UGA as opposed to Bama squeaking by in a 3 point win


'Bama won by a TD, but okay.

With that said, OM simply has the far better resume and it isn't really close

ive been consistent that SC should not be in over OM....and that Bama also shouldn't be in over OM.

3 months ago. How are the teams playing now when it should matter? It's not even close.

You have to focus on losses because you can't focuses on their wins.

Both teams beat a team currently higher ranked than them in the SEC.

Has SC?

Both teams have two better wins than SC has. Ironically one of their wins IS the same SC

OM can barely handle State at this point. What are the metrics? How good you were 3 months ago. Definitely not what other sports use.

You can't wish away parts of the season you don't like.

However congrats on your amazing winning streak where you discredit Alabama for beating you by 2 points yet beat your chest about beating Mizz by 4 and sorry arse Clemson by 3

Then Bama and Ole Miss can't wish away their embarrassing losses.

False. we are going to go nuclear when bama gets in over OM and SC. There isn't an SC fan on here that thinks our resume is better than OM

Great. Not one top 10 victory and you lost to the two highest ranked teams you played in SEC

Like it or not, Bama has the conference tiebreaker over Ole Miss, and no team in the discussion has a loss as ugly as the Rebels' loss to Kentucky. You may not like it, but Bama will be ahead of both Ole Miss and USCe, so you may as well stop bitching about it.

Dude that doesn’t matter, ever.

just because a team starts 0-3 and finishes 9-3 doesn’t mean they deserve to be in. That 0-3 start has to factor. It’s in no way about “hottest” team.

SCAR isn’t even some scalding hot team. You beat an Aggy that will finish unranked, a Missouri without their starting QB, and a very average Clemson team. It’s not like you knocked off #2 Texas, #5 UGA and #6 Tennessee all in a row to finish the year
