Sunday night is going to be really tough for you just like the second Tuesday in November last year.

2 losses to one should be a deciding factor, and both the OSU L's were bad


Not necessarily. Like I said it goes on what your criteria is, and the committee has shown balance between the two. OSU has beaten multiple better teams than anyone Bama has beaten and when Bama finally had a respectable opponent they shite the bed. Who’s to say if they had played other decent teams like OSU has played they wouldn’t lose multiple games as well? You can’t assume anything. The “who you,ve beaten” vs. “who you’ve lost to” needs to be balanced. The wins are overwhelmingly in OSU’s benefit and the losses are overwhelmingly in Bama’s benefit. It’s a wash IMO. Last year the wins and losses were both overwhelmingly in OSU’s benefit so they got the nod despite PSU having head to head and a conference title.

Auburn has 2 losses and Wisconsin has 0, yet they’re 2 places ahead. Because their wins are overwhelming in their favor and their losses are actually respectable, so Auburn gets the nod despite it. I think the wins vs. losses between OSU and Bama are pretty much a wash.

It'll be fine for me. If we don't get in, well, we shouldn't have lost to Iowa.

If the Gumps don't get in, an 11-1 Bama with a loss to a possible playoff team was left out in favor of a team that lost by 31 to Iowa. The fact that this is probable should let you know how pathetic the Gumps are this season.

so this would be the best chaos:

MiamiU beats Clemson
Auburn beats Georgia
TCU beats Oklahoma
Ohio State beats Wisconsin

Bama and Auburn and Miami in. Who would be the fourth?

Even if they won, the one thing overrated state can't have happen is Miami beat Clemson.

If that happened you'd have.

Auburn (assuming they win)
Oklahoma (assuming they win)
Miami

Now you're having to try and compare them with Clemson and Alabama.

Clemson would have a win over the probable #2 Auburn and a loss to #3 Miami, they've already discounted the Syracuse loss.

No, they don't have the conference title, but they have easily the best win of anyone being considered at that point.

Clemson kicks overrated state's arse conference title or not in that case. Maybe Bama's too

9 of Clemson's 11 wins are against teams ranked in the Top 40. Shits all over Bama's schedule.

Ohio State doesn’t belong in. At all. Last year they got shutout after getting a gift to make the top four. This year they’ve been embarrassed twice. The committee does not want to be embarrassed again. Buckeyes have. No shot

Bama in the other hand doesn’t belong in either. They really haven’t played well against decent teams and. Bad against a good team. Plus their. Resume and schedule and all that Garbage the Committee loves is bad.

Let’s just hope Wisconsin wins to college football. I actually think they are better than people think. But what do I know. I thought the Irish were the real deal before Miami

Oklahoma and. Wisconsin really need to save college football this weekend because people like booger know jack frick all. Jack frick all

Can you imagine if they changed uniforms and. Wisconsin had the results Ohio State and Alabama did. They wouldn’t even be in the top ten. And if bama and Ohio State had the same results wisky did. They would be number one. I have no doubt in my mind

Impressive resume. "Best loss". This phrase is most commonly heard when Bama fans beg for a mulligan

They just hand gifted us ranked wins that should not exist and put Auburn with 2 losses at #2


All this shows is they aren't scared to put a two loss team over a one loss team if they have better wins.

Guess who has better wins between us and Ohio State?

I'll tell you how it's going to go down.
Auburn will destroy Georgia and it'll be by a larger margin than previous game, Clemson barely beats Miami, Oklahoma wins by 17 and Ohio State wins by 12.

Sunday, the rankings will be:
Auburn
Clemson
Oklahoma
Alabama

Auburn jumps to #1 because of the large margin of victory + playing better than anyone. The 2 losses will not matter. Clemson slips to #2 due to a very close win.

Auburn plays Bama and wins.
Clemson plays Oklahoma and wins because they're pissed they got bumped.

Auburn vs Clemson.

Auburn wins

Auburn will have won 3 consecutive re-matches from THIS season on their way to winning the NC.

Rematch #1 vs UGA in SECCG
Rematch #2 vs Bama in Semi
Rematch #3 vs Clemson in Title Game.

Bank account on it.

By what metric?


The one where Bama has more NFL talent riding pine than Wisconsin has on their entire team.

Or the one where Bama played Wisconsin a few years ago, and their players were lining up on the wrong side of the field due to the head trauma of being ran the frick over. Literally.

Wisconsin ? Lolololololol

They may very well beat a bipolar osu, and go to the playoffs denying Bama a playoff birth, but let's not pretend like Bama wouldn't stomp Wisconsin silly if they played mmmkay.
