Why the frick can't dumbasses from LSU grasp the fact that bad losses trump everything?
Seriously, it's the same fricking bullshite with you idiots every year, going back to Oklahoma State in 2011. Remember how you guys bitched forever about that one? You were told then, and it's played out like that ever since, all the way through last year.
The biggest factor there was that Mike Gundy didn't want in the game because of how he himself had handled Miles' departure from OK ST. He was quiet as a mouse while Saban was all over the media hyping his team. That's a criticism of Gundy, not Saban. The Dwarf Lord did exactly what he should have done. Mike Gundy is a sorry excuse for a "man".

With a loss Sat I'd put Bama's chances somewhere around 50-50.
And the other side of the 50-50 is the Penn State-Oklahoma loser. It will be a coin flip between Alabama and Penn State. If the losses are close, one of those is getting in.
Also, the committee has the authority to weigh, for example, if Tua is only 60%b and Bama still loses a close game.
Oklahoma would be out, as would be Oregon. Remember that if Alabama wins the rest, they would have beaten Auburn at Auburn, when Oregon would have lost to Auburn at a neutral site.

Doesn't matter, Bama goes 13-0 and the #1 seed in the playoffs

See what I mean. You're a perfect example of the LSU fans I'm talking about. Keep spinning that in your head for the next twenty years if you want, but the biggest factor was that Oklahoma State lost to a team that was 6-6 and had four losses by 20+ points. Ugly loss trumps. All day, every day, every year.
But keep enjoying your fantasy.

The irony is that Mizzou is trash and shouldn’t even be in the SEC and you’re still here talking about teams who haven’t lost yet

OUs loss will end up being to a 10-2 K State team that will be ranked top 12 at the end of the season
And they lost by 7 on a controversial call. It’s not like they lost to Purdue by 30.

They had a objectively better resume. A better record at 12-1 than Bama at 11-1. They had 5 wins against ranked teams with three against top ten teams . Only a child can fail to see that. But of course you only follow Bama, so you wouldn't know about any of that..

LSU fans just can't help themselves. Always a ref angle.

LSU's chances with a loss would be lower than that but still very much alive.
I, actually, think LSU has a better chance at getting in with a loss.

I'm a Bama fan and I think a loss vastly impacts our chances of getting in. We definitely would not control our own destiny unless LSU stumbled and got 2 losses OR if another undefeated team got a loss or 2.

You will be 11-1 going against a 12-1 Oregon/Utah and 12-1 OU
Ok.

OU gets in over you without question. Only loss to 10 win K State and beat Baylor twice
They do? So follow me here. Both teams have 1 loss and OU loss to a terrible KState. Bama's loss would be to the #1 team in the country and OU gets in "without question"? I sense your bias, young one.
quote:
Bama vs OU the committee is taking OU 100% of the time.
Disagree given that Bama just beat the brakes off of OU just last season.
Let's all remember this conversation IF LSU loses and then begins to beg that they deserve to be in.

I've not heard anyone talk about us getting in or not, I personally don't think we will. Unlike other years we don't have a dominant team, but it won't matter because we don't lose to LSU

If whining and crying was the way to get in LSU would be a shoo-in every year, that's all they do and they are very good at it

So just playing devils advocate here but let's say LSU loses this weekend to Bama. LSU ends the season at 11-1. Hypothetically all of these "BIG" wins LSU could have could very well end up like this:
-Texas: 3 losses already, could very well end with 5 total losses (that's a meh win at best by seasons end)
-Florida: 2 losses already, odds are they should win out but could drop 1 given that they've now been eliminated with the UGA loss. (Good win but nothing amazing. Was also at home).
-Auburn: 2 losses already, odds are they lose to UGA and maybe bama. Could very well be a 4 loss team (meh win at best, even if they beat UGA and lose to Bama, still a 3 loss team)
That would turn 2 of your "best wins" that everyone is so amped about into meh wins and those 2 teams would be ranked at the end of the season in the late teens or early 20s. It would end up decimating your schedule talk.
Now Bama's schedule doesn't have much to write home about either but in theory we would have beaten LSU, Auburn (common opponent) and possibly UGA. Bama's schedule would end INFINITELY better than yours.
I'd be careful pumping the whole schedule thing since if Penn State were to lose to Ohio State, there schedule would probably end the season looking MUCH better than LSUs.

I don't care who it is, including LSU, if you don't even win your division, much less conference, stay at the house. All teams know the chips are on the table so get it done.............

Past history as a guide.
Posted on 11/4/19 at 12:23 pm to dallastiger55
Because the committee knows that only a bad game by bama can beat bama. We therefore get credit for a victory and a loss.
Posted on 11/4/19 at 12:31 pm to DoubleDown
Early and mid season talk of schedule strength is entirely speculative. There's lots of ways it could play out. Neither team will be eliminated Sat. but it's certainly nice to control your own destiny.

An OU team that lost to a very mediocre K state team will most likely not get in over us. Wish in one hand and shite in the other and see what fills up first.
Pac 12 is a shite conference and with Oregon losing to Auburn they will not get in over an Alabama/LSU team that did not.
The only team that can play spoiler at this point is Baylor and the likelihood of them going undefeated at this point is around 15%.
1. Bama/LSU
2. (OSU/ Penn St)
3. Clemson
4. Bama/LSU
The funny thing about this thread is that in a few weeks, if it is LSU that has lost this game, you will be making threads about how LSU deserves to get in over the other teams. You pathetic losers are all the same.

When you lose always matters, and to whom. They lost later in the season than Bama did, to a horrific team. People want to talk about ‘resumes,’ well right there at the top of OK States’ resume it shows they were fired from their last job for smoking meth. It’s never good to lose a job for smoking meth, that’s actually something you might be able to speak to.
That said, I personally wouldn’t have been upset if Bama had been left out that year. Lose a game and you have no room to complain. I’m just here to point out the fact that you look like an overly-emotional pussy crying about this all these years later, presenting this is a complete black-and-white issue.
