Perhaps the BEST B1G Forum anywhere, here at College Football Fan Site, CFB51!!!

I don’t know how you justify Bama over FSU with facts or results. 

The only fact is that FSU is not what it was a month ago. They struggled last night and against UF last week.

Not fact:

I think Bama is playing as well as anyone right now.

Though Bama did struggle with Auburn way more than FSU struggled with anybody

FSU beat a top 15 team with their 3rd string QB.
They kept a team that averages over 30 a game to 2 field goals.  They beat 3 top 15 teams including an SEC team.  They are undefeated and conference champs. 

Bama was purely lucky to win one game ago v Auburn.

If we’re going to get subjective and use a beauty contest, then we need to go all the way.

all the one loss teams who has the best loss?

Thats easy.  Ohio State.  List a close game on the road to the number 2 team. 

by no means in my advocating for Ohio State. Far from it. Just illustrating that if you’re going to get subjective for some people, but use results for other people, your argument falls apart.

One way to do it is consider who would be favored against whom.  I suspect UGA and Michigan would be close to even on a neutral field, both would be favored over anyone else.  The next two in might be Bama and Ohio State, but Texas could be favored or close to it as well.

This isn't what will happen of course, and it's not the methodology, and I'm not suggesting it should happen.  It's just a way.

I kinda hope it ends up, realistically, UM UDubb FSU and Texas.

FIFY

I just want to see the SEC excluded.

Not based on any actual rational argument. 

It would just be fun to watch that conference lose their collective sh!t. 

I would also add that Alabama “ struggled” more last week with their rival than FSU did against their rival - and that was with their 2nd and 3rd string QB. 

UF also had no QB. Mertz is out. UF finished 5-7 - no bowl.
Plus - The Iron Bowl. It just means more. 

Auburn will be in the Music City Bowl, most likely.

If OSU goes to the Orange, UW goes to Nashville. If OSU goes anywhere else, UW goes to Tampa to take on LSU.

We'll find out today. Gonna be really interesting.
