But it IS going to happen. And you know it. That is what is chapping your arse so bad. Best accept it and move on. Alabama will get the benefit of the doubt before anyone else will. We sell tickets and fill TV screens.

False. If it comes down to the last couple spots they will definitely look at how the team is playing.

Didn't lose to LSU even without our QB. Ole Miss was our one bad game with Sellers and Sanders barely a go. Watch the Ole Miss game and tell me that is a healthy qb or rb


Oh, so now the losses you have don't even count. Well shite, I guess you shouldn't just be in you should be a #5 or #6 seed since in reality you went 11-1.

It's amazing how teams drop in the polls after you beat them.

So can Alabama claim LSU as a ranked win? If so, they have 2 ranked wins in their last 5 games (both complete blowout wins)

How you played in the last month? You know kind of like college basketball selection committee works.


You telling me the basketball selection committee chooses rankings based on only their last 4 games?

That sounds terrible.

The top 25 win doesn't get erased because you beat them lol


Yes it does

Does everyone who beat 2 win Florida State have a top ten win because they were ranked in the top ten at the beginning of the season?

If falling out of the Top 25 doesn't matter, why is anyone even upset Bama is in the CFP? They should be the 1 seed, they were ranked 1st at one point after all.

Well basketball has way more games and even in football we were talking last 2 months not 4 games. You sound like you were on the committee.

St Johns won 6 straight games before barely losing to UConn last year and didn't make the tournament.

Virginia on the other hand finished the year losing 5 of 9 and........did make the tournament.



You are just incorrect. Which is starting to feel like a theme.

Honestly I am not a fan of the 12 team playoff. It’s a celebration of mediocrity. Really the 4 team was probably most fair as it avoided what happened to Auburn when they went undefeated and got left out. If you can’t justify that you are top 4 you don’t deserve a shot at the title. Just my opinion.


It's weird this year. For most 4-team CFP years it didn't matter much who got in as #4 because they didn't have a chance to win it all.

This year you have to wonder if either Bama, OM, or SC could win it all if they are playing at their best.

I don't think any of the current top teams like Oregon, Texas, Penn State, and ND are obviously better than several others below them.

LSU appears to have both scored more points and outgained South Carolina, all on the road.

Pick a metric and let us know. Any of them.




I already stated them.


I’ll take 3 arguments used previously to justify bama.


Best losses ole miss losses are a combined 19-17
Bama 22-14
USC 26-10



Health of QB
Dart and milroe were healthy all season
Sellers is healthy now was hurt during their losses. That should be factored in.


Eye test down the stretch.


USC is clearly playing the best at the most important time.

We beat Missouri by 34 points in Tuscaloosa.

We beat LSU by 30 points in Baton Rouge.

We beat a FBS team by 50.

We had a horrid loss to Oklahoma.

We beat Auburn by 14 points, the 2nd worst loss they've had this season.

So basically you just want to count every game AFTER you lost to Alabama.

Because the day after you lost to Alabama, you somehow became the better team.

Conveniently took out the 2 pick sixes and a 50 yard phantom OP penalty that would of iced the game. Once again go watch it because you don't know crap.
