Bama & making the CFP
Posted by Keith101 on 12/5/24 at 8:07 am
Preface: IMO, this Bama team doesn't deserve to be in. HOWEVER,...
1 - It's never been about "deserves". The marching orders to the committee were "pick the 12 "best" teams ..... irregardless of i) W/L record, ii) conference, iii) match-ups, iv) blow-outs, etc. Prime example: FSU 2023 (most deserving, unbeaten, conf. champion,... definitely not top-4 at end of season).
2 - Even those who don't want Bama in would admit (if they're honest) that Alabama IS one of the 12 best teams. IMO, on any given night, they "could" end up being THE best (see Ga v. Bama 1st-half). They're a Jekyll/Hyde team & everything rides on the indiv. performance of their head-case QB.
3 - Be honest ... those who are crying & screaming the most are doing so because they know deep down that Alabama IS one of the 12 best & "could" win the whole thing. I highly doubt it, but if their psyco-QB can manage to string together several good performances in a row (which he NEVER has) there's little doubt that Alabama could pull it off.
I wouldn't like to see it, because I don't think they deserve it. BUT, that takes us back to #1. It's not about deserves. It's completely a subjective call by the committee about who the BEST 12 teams are.

Uhhhhh ... for some reason I'm recalling Ga didn't make it to the play-offs OR even win the conference.
So, how could Ga be considered king? Maybe in the state of Ga.

It's beneath you to waste your time/energy on posts like this.
You don't see Coke running negative ads about RC Cola.

The fact that Washington Huskies aren't even listed speaks volumes.
re: Current Blue Bloods in the SEC
Posted by Keith101 on 7/14/24 at 1:31 pm
Georgia is a solid & respectable program ... but should not be included. I think of blue-bloods as the programs that have been very good over the span of CFB. I'd consider Nebraska and USC blue-bloods, even though they haven't done much in awhile. UGa success is fairly recent.

Meanwhile, UA is ranked #1 SEC recruiting .... AU is #8 in SEC (behind Missouri).

With the addition of OU & UTx, the SEC goes from having 1 blueblood FB program to 3
Posted by Keith101 on 7/13/24 at 10:54 am
With USC, Big 10 goes from 2 to 3.

Yes
re: Are people really pretending Deboer is a bad hire?

Of course, some are saying that. But, they don't believe it.
AU fans were the same in 2007 when Saban was hired. They boasted that Tuberville owned him. We see how that turned out.

Question re: 12-team play-off next season
Posted by Keith101 on 1/3/24 at 8:24 pm
Is better NOT to be in the SECCG if you're already ranked in the top-10? Say, if you're ranked #9 & lose the game, you might easily be knocked-out of the play-offs. Conversely, if you #9 but don't play, you're likely still in. Thoughts?

Thanks.
Although UGa is clearly one of the 4 best teams and should be in the CFP,.. I'm glad we don't play you again. Could easily envision a repeat of 2021.

So why did this all-knowing committee rank FSU #5 and Georgia #6?
To be fair, FSU should not even be in the top 10.
re: What should FSU have done differently to get in?
Posted by Keith101 on 12/3/23 at 10:23 pm
It's the main disadvantage of playing an easy SOS in an easy conference.

re: Selection Cmte got the right Final 4. Alabama deserved it. Not sure what the fuss is about

If Alabama hadn't won their conference and got in, I'd be furious. But, they won the SEC. The committee deemed them more worthy than Florida State who won a weak ACC. Alabama's only loss was to the B12 champ, who is also in.
This really isn't that controversial. I don't think you should get in if you don't win your conference, but if you do, then you compare conferences and resumes. Alabama's was good enough to get in.
The lonely voice of reason.
Weird how Vegas has Alabama as 2nd most likely to win Title (after Mich) ...

... I read here Alabama didn't deserve to be in the top-4.
