No they don’t. Not with that halfwit fullback pretending to be a QB and that questionable defense that left Oklahoma and Vandy run up the score on them.

Beat Vanderbilt and Oklahoma next time.

It’s not like it was a close loss to Texas or UGA. You lost to two shitty SEC teams. Split those games and you’re in.

I think these kind of losses are going to become more common for all the top programs because they just aren’t going to have depth and may even have holes in their top line of the depth chart that cause mismatch problems against supposedly overmatched teams.

Oregon is undefeated but has not looked unbeatable this year. College football is going to become more like the NFL where you can beat the Chiefs one week and lose to the Browns the next.

It's an argument of which team that shouldn't be there get to go, it's not a travesty.


Basically. What it boils down to is that there are never 12 teams who actually have a real chance at winning the championship. They should have never made it a 12 team playoff. It should have been 8 teams with conference champions always getting in and having ONLY 4 conferences and you MUST join a conference to even be considered for a spot. ND must be forced to join a conference. Period! Otherwise you end up with scenarios where conference championships no longer matter.

In all honesty. There’s never really more than maybe 6 teams that could win the championship each year.

That’s fine but you can’t lose both and expect top 12. I do think the SEC should have kept divisions through conference expansion.

Stop it with this shite, Bama fans.

Would we have beaten SMU, Indiana or Clemson? Probably/possibly. But Bama didn’t do its job in the regular season. Even after the Vandy and UT losses, the playoffs were pretty much a guarantee. Just beat Oklahoma and Auburn. But we shite the bed in Norman.

Moving on.

I agree to an extent. Thats why I would proposed the 8 team playoff with only 4 conferences and everyone MUST be in a conference to even be considered. Your 4 conference champs get automatically in. The other 4 are chosen based by computer models.

I think if they keep AQs, they should end CCGs but add a week to the regular season then divide the P4 conferences into 8 divisions that round robin to produce AQs. Probably would expand to 16 teams and end the bye week for top 4 in the process because they’ll likely have to do something like give 2 AQs to the top 2 G5 teams plus have room for more P4 at large bids plus ND.

Agree. Bama “probably” would beat them. But you can’t say with any degree of certainty based off the bad games that Bama had this year. Just a very inconsistent team. One game Bama would look damn good. The next, they looked like complete garbage. And THAT was why they didn’t get the invite and shouldn’t have. It wasn’t like Vandy and Oklahoma won on a last minute field goal after several key Bama players got injured in the game. They both dominated Bama throughout the entire game. That’s not the mark of a “championship team”.

Alabama should have been in the field and could have beaten Penn State and Notre Dame. Ohio State and Texas simply have a bit more talent, more consistency, and home field advantage to boot. Alabama probably loses those games about like the opponents they actually got to play.

Nobody after about 5-6 is in the field to actually win it most seasons. Being a credible national champion threat isn’t why Alabama should have been in the field. It is the fact that they are one of the 12 best teams. They could have made the semis if they were the 11th seed this year to be honest. Might not have but that is immaterial. They didn’t expand the playoffs because they really thought the 11th best team was title caliber.


We all realize that CFB is kind of broken and there are some bad visions for its future. That said, nothing is as bleak as Alabama fan's desires for CFB. Don't play the games, just seed teams based off recruiting rankings. Pathetic.

I think the argument Alabama should be in is performance on the field even with OU and Vandy turds considered. They were 3-1 against the top 25. They had considerable SOR/SOS advantages over those they were being compared to and a head to head over USC.

We will never prove it but I truly believe the bargain for SMU over Alabama came down to the dual concerns of killing the ACC and exposing the farce of even playing CCGs in this era.
