Daaaaamnnnn I look good...

[quote]They couldn't score so they had to trick us.[/quote] We had 541 yards of total offense and scored 41 points ...

[quote]Just go ahead and figure it's not going to happen, and be pleasantly surprised/happy if it does. It's college football and the margin for error is small. We've been lucky in the past, but each time it wasn't expected.[/quote] Agree - let's just hope we play 3 solid ballgames, specific...

[quote]Oregon lost to Auburn on a neutral field, Oklahoma lost to K State and barely beat Iowa State, Utah lost to a not so good USC. We win out we are in. [/quote] Oregon is the only one out of that group that I think we will get in over due to the P12, their wins and the comparative of Auburn....

[quote]Tua has proven himself every year, and lest we forget, set an alltime ncaa single season record for passing efficiency.[/quote] Which Jalen, Tua and Burrow are all about to break. [quote]The best quarterbacks in the nation don't have to transfer to get playing time[/quote] 3 straight...

Our defenders do the same thing, but it doesn't take any sort of planning by the offense. They just screw it up anyway....

[quote]Don't laugh but folks are sleeping on ASU-Oregon game. [/quote] ASU has been pretty bad lately, but yea that's a possibility....

[quote]So that accounts for his 57.8 completion pct last year? Makes you wonder, I guess, how many elite quarterbacks never got the chance to prove how awesome they were because they were playing with conservative offenses. Nevermind that most SEC were conservative offense up until recently. Kind of...

[quote]You have been debbie downer all day. [/quote] I swear I'm not trying to be. I'm really not super sad or mad or whatever, I'm just trying to look at the landscape with clear eyes and it doesn't look real good for us. Our schedule is just bad. I think we could easily have beaten most ...

[quote]Auburn is given a lot of respect by the polls and rightfully so. Look at their ranking now. [/quote] If they lose to UGA and then lose to us they will be 8-4. At best they will be between 20-25. A&M will be 7-5. So, we'll be 11-1 with 1 Top 25 win (barely in the Top 25). That's just...

And I'd like to add, at this point, I just want to beat Auburn. The rest is whatever - if it happens then count ourselves lucky again. If not, beat Auburn, go 11-1, go win a "meaningless" bowl game and celebrate a good season in which we had tons of issues and youth....

[quote]I disagree. We will get in over a one loss Oregon or Oklahoma provided we beat Auburn. Conference championships aren't the only qualification to be in the playoff. [/quote] I do not think we get in over 1 loss Oklahoma. I do think, if the BXII is eliminated, that we'd have a legitimate...

[quote]I think the Iron Bowl could matter. Obviously we’d have to win first, but crushing AU could possibly (not a high chance still) help us. Especially if it came to us and Oregon. [/quote] Definitely agree with that. Our best path to the playoff, IMHO, is - Auburn beats Georgia - Bay...

[quote]Clemson is the only 15-0 team so at some point every other team in this era has had to overcome a loss. I will say that unlike 2011 I didn’t come out of the game feeling like the better team lost. [/quote] Our problem is that the loss was to a divisional team and will prevent us from goin...

I'm just ready to beat Auburn and then start watching 'dem Bryce Young bowl practice highlight videos. :bow:...

Will running up the score on Mississippi State really impress the committee? Our issue will be no good wins against good teams. We've already proven we can blow out bad teams. Much like Ohio State with Maryland last weekend, the only thing that the committee notices in games like that are n...

[quote]You’re not wrong of course but they have to fill four spots. There is a scenario where Bama gets a spot still. Not likely IMO but possible. Should Bama just decline? [/quote] Definitely not - if it happens and we get invited then lets roll, much like 2017. It's just the general attitud...

[quote]They still haven't stopped Deshaun Watson. [/quote] Beat him in 2015 and lost on the last play of the game in 2016. It happens against all time elite players and teams sometimes....

[quote]If Burrow is the best qb in the country why is this the only year he has shown it?[/quote] Uh, because he's running an actual modern offense and not being forced to throw 2 wide receiver pass routes and only on 3rd and 8+? [quote]Tua has proven himself since his true freshman year that ...

[quote]The Bama defense is what it is. As long as Bama's offense and special teams isn't giving LSU points, then Bama can outscore LSU. Bama damn near did it Saturday after making major mistake after major mistake on offense. [/quote] But we didn't, and it's football, and the game you pla...
