Fantastic, thanks for setting it for us.  Upsets don't exist.
KSU is better than OU.
The Citadel is better than GA Tech.
Illinois is better than Wisconsin.
Georgia State is better than Tennessee.
South Carolina is better than Georgia.

On November 23, Georgia plays Texas A&M.  
It sounds like all of you better tune in and pull for Georgia, just to avoid giving the committee a reason to side with Alabama.  It's incredible how Alabama fatigue is causing so many people to freak out over prudent and sound reasoning.

Yeah, this is how I know we're polar opposites.  First, you misconstrue my every post.  I never said recruiting info SHOULD be a determining factor, but that it plays into giving the most talented teams the benefit of the doubt (a la Alabama).  I'm describing what the committee has shown it's likely to do, and you're dwelling on this or that "should" or should not happen.




You seem to think this is all about resume only and it's reeeeeeally not.  Right or wrong, helmets matter.  We could argue that conference affiliation matters (I'm sure it does) and whether that's fair or not (from season to season, it's not).  But you're not being realistic here.  The committee doesn't view Alabama's loss to LSU as "they got their shot".  They view it as a data point.  Another way I know we're polar opposites is when you say things like "LSU is better than Alabama" based on that one game.  If that was factually true, then upsets never happen.  Kansas State is better than OU.  South Carolina is better than Georgia.  It's flawed logic.  We can say LSU beat Alabama (a fact), but we cannot say LSU is better than Alabama (because it's an opinion).


I'm glad we're debating here and I appreciate your willingness to keep at it.  We can both think the other is nuts and continue debating.

Problem is...that you seem to think it's going to be a toss up.  It really isn't.  If Georgia beats Auburn this weekend....Alabama's BEST win would be an 8-4 Auburn team.  I'm shocked at you're inability to grasp this.  Not to mention that there's likely to be two or three undefeated teams and another couple 12-1 conference champions. 

Best wins are more important than best loss.  Are you a basketball fan?  Ever watch bracketology?  Teams aren't handed #1 seeds for getting close to beating other #1 seeds.

Am I on the committee?  You're treating me as if I am.  I have no desire for Alabama to get in.  That's what you're both missing..badly.

I illustrate the substantial flaw in your previous point and you progress to crack pipe jokes.  All done here.

Yeah, you shouldn't be in charge of deciding any of this.  How does a game from the 2018 season matter in the slightest?  And the "what if" the venue was different game......sheesh.
You are exactly the little kid kicking and screaming in his sandbox until mommy(The Committee) gives her little darling his way.They lost get over it you can't understand the parameters of pass/fail.It's a damn fine thing you've never had a military command - lord have mercy

Where have I suggested I wanted Alabama to wind up in the playoff?  I'll hang up and listen...

Man, emotions running high on this topic.  I suppose that the word "fan" really is short for "fanatic" after all.
