I don’t like it, but we’re all going to have to start seeing college football like the NFL playoffs or March Madness. It’s a tournament with a selection committee just like March Madness. Get in and anything can happen. Bama made the Final Four last year with 12 losses (yes I know basketball is different). You can have a 64-team CFB playoff and the 65th team is going to bitch about being left out.

LSU won a NC championship in 2007 with 2 losses to 8-5 teams. But they got it done when it mattered.

But I know this post is about Bama fatigue and jealousy due to them dominating the frick out of all of you for 16 years and they still carry clout, so carry on.

and just closed with a win over Clemson on the road.


And if they lose to SMU that win will look less impressive. If Georgia beats Texas again Alabama’s win over them becomes more impressive. They will then have the head-to-head win, plus a victory over SEC champion Georgia, and blow out wins over LSU and Missouri.

Who cares? They have zero chance of winning.

This is late season and should have more affect on voting than it did is all I am saying.
So in November Bama running you out of your own stadium isn’t late season?

They are not playing in the SEC championship game and any team

It’s a 12 team playoff. Playing in the conference championship isn’t a requirement.

any team with 3 losses should not be considered.

It’s a 12 team playoff. At some point it’s going to be necessary for a 3 loss team to be considered if the committee is going to fill every spot. Even more so when it becomes a 14 team playoff.

It appears that it pays to play no one during the season


And this is why we don't need 9 games in the Sec. We need to jeep cupcakes because everyone else is.

Bama is burning.....


Burning its way into the number one recruiting class and likely participant in the first ever college football playoff.

Yes that’s what I am saying.

It’d be a great point proven if the teams that have 1-2 losses but didn’t play anyone with a pulse or play in a power conference get blown out on a very public stage.

Mock BCS has Bama in now.


And I've no problem with that. Because I can see why, and the rules are consistent. I don't need a damn committee changing the rules on the fly, contradicting themselves each week to justify their damned picks.;

If I were Vegas, I’d give them the best odds also.

They’ll cakewalk until playing UGA in the championship- AGAIN- and we all know the smart bet if/when that happens
