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

You're clearly one of those guys who chants/screams "SEC! SEC! SEC!" at the game, at the TV, the supermarket, the old frightened neighbor lady....

I do think Bama is better than LSU with a healthy Tua.  I did not think that before they played the game.

I am a bit weird though, and I do NOT think Bama should make the playoff barring real weirdness.


What in that game changed your mind?  Genuinely curious, no shade.

Be careful, none of us are what we claim to be, apparently.

If everyone wins out from here:

Clemson 13-0
LSU 13-0
OSU-Minnesota 13-0

We all agree those would be locks.

Utah/Oregon 12-1
Baylor 13-0

Alabama 11-1

Alabama would have zero shot if this happened.
What "everyone" mean, Kemosabe?
Oklahoma win, go 12-1.  Georgia same.

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.
Interesting that you mention Georgia, as Georgia is now the #4 team in the CFP rankings.
Georgia makes an interesting comparison with Minnesota.  Minnesota has a better win than Georgia does, and it is unbeaten which Georgia is not.  Georgia, OTOH, has more "good" wins than Minnesota does.
But Georgia is #4 and Minnesota is #8.
Maybe the Committee has already decided to ditch Alabama, and Georgia is now the favored 2nd SEC team for the CFP.

Because the committee is just dying to get a 2nd SEC team in the playoff.  :smiley_confused1:






Georgia went out and played ND OOC.  Why doesn't Minnesota get crapped on for its joke of an OOC schedule?  Oh, they have 9 conference games?  Yeah, one of those is Rutgers, friends.


But I don't think it's about 9 conference games....no one has crapped on Minnesota's OOC schedule because it's "just" Minnesota.  We don't expect the annual also-rans to schedule tough...they need to schedule wins in order to make an obscure bowl game.  

But OOPS, the Gophers are good this year and so they get a free pass.  It's an interesting dynamic.  To be clear, I'm not counting it as a strike against Minnesota, but I just find it a unique situation.

Penn State was one of Minnesota's crossovers too.  It's on a rotating schedule not set by Minnesota.  But....by all means....let's salute Alabama's non-con schedule.  They took on mighty Duke.  That might slot in as their third or fourth best win this year.  :Woot_Emoticon:

And lol.....Florida has really got a grinder of an OOC schedule.  Miami and Florida State are really tough this year.  Good thing you squeaked by the Canes by four.  The mighty ACC juggernauts!!!  And don't forget about UT Martin and Towson!  Sneaky good.

You laid it our nicely.  I though Bama in the second half looked better, and I was thinking Tua was a bit off his game, lack of practice, weak ankle, etc.

Bama did get some unusual breaks their way as you noted.  I'm talking about a fairly small advantage.  And of course my opinion is subject to being wrong.

UGA at #4 is irrelevant obviously.  If they go 12-1, they would be in the playoff even if they were at #8. Similarly, if Minnesota is 13-0, they get in as well, at 12-1 they probably get in.  I'm not sure why these preliminary rankings are even a thing.  We can see a path for most of the top 10 or so to make the playoff, and for all of them to miss it (however unlikely that can be for say Clemson).

I'd like to see a LSU-UGA game aside from the obvious.  I have little confidence UGA can get past Auburn (but think they should beat A&M at home).

OSU probably will beat PSU in C-bus and that locks them in (probably).  It would be fun to see Baylor go 13-0 but I doubt it happens.
