Does anyone really believe that Alabama deserves to be in the playoff?
They got rickshawed by Clemson in the National Championship, and the LSU game was not nearly as close as the score indicated (Florida played a better game vs. LSU than Alabama did).

A lot will come down to how they look against Auburn. If Alabama beats auburn, a team Oregon lost to, convincingly it hurts Oregon’s chances. Oklahoma is hurt by their ugly loss.

What happened last year has absolutely nothing to do with this year. Last year should NOT come into play when deciding the playoff teams.

I think they should be out of the playoffs right now, but they still deserve to be ranked 5 or 6. The game actually was close. They were mounting a comeback in the second half.

Florida did not play a better game than Bama, IMHO.

Agreed

[Baylorballs]

ewwwwwww weeeeee dis gonna be good!

Baylor is probably 5% chance or less to win out 13-0, but this will be fun this weekend! Gameday on the Brazos River!

Way too soon playoff Prediction:

LSU, Clemson , Ohio State, Oregon


with a slim chance of Bama, Georgia, Utah, Minnesota, or Baylor slipping it in da butt.

[Orlando1234977]

They are definitely in the deepest conference

Yep, the west. Illinois over msu, WI over michigan, Minnesota over psu etc etc etc
But Minn will get crushed by osu if they somehow win out.

[DanielleGreen]

Bama gets into playoff because they only have 1 loss to LSU and LSU lost to a 2 lost UGA so that makes LSU's 1 lose worse than Bama's. (Not saying I agree at all but that'll be the rationale)

We all know that Bama plays better after a loss. They will smoke Auburn and will get that 4th seed for the playoff. Hasn't Bama won every Natty when they "skipped" the SEC conference game?

This also maybe a wild note, but since Saban is a master at football: does anyone think he intentionally sat Tua (for some rest) and lost the LSU game so he can have an extra week of practice for the playoff? Think about it for a second, with Bama playing the SEC Conference they lose 1-2 weeks rest. With a possibility of getting fcuked on the field. I'm pretty sure Nick is play tricks on us again this year.

Saban has never intentionally lost a football game. He would have no qualms making a child sacrifice to Satan if it guaranteed him a win

He's the same guy that called an onside kick in the 4th against Clemson.. He plays mind tricks on everyone. I'm saying all this as a Bama fan. I'll re-visit this in a few weeks...

Never. He hates losing more than he likes winning. He kicked an onside kick in the 4Q in that 1st title game matchup because the momentum was heavy Clemson. If you don’t get that, Clemson wins. We dominated that game except special teams.

I honestly don’t think Saban will ever get that final title win to tie Bear Bryant.

1) There’s no way he intentionally lost. He knows college football can be crazy, and if the chips fall a certain way, they could be left out. Not to mention the possibility of another freak kick six and having no chance at the playoff. Plus, he’s way to competitive and wouldn’t leave it in the committees hands like that.

2) Just stop it with the “less rest because of the SEC”. Duke, New Mexico State, Southern Miss, Ole Miss, Arkansas those are cake walks. Tennessee, SC...aren't really “good”competition. They’ve had one good team and had a bye week to prepare (A&M), and one really good team again having had a bye to prepare (LSU). Then they still have West Carolina to play (essentially a bye) before playing their only other good team (Auburn). Where in their schedule did they lose 1-2 weeks of rest? They literally had a bye before every decent team they played and they've played 3 teams with winning records- Southern Miss, A&M, and LSU. Only auburn left has a winning record. Lol. Schedule couldn’t have possibly been easier.

[wildchild11]

"We're losing on purpose!!!!!!11!!1"

lol

[Mumra]

he probably didn't lose on purpose but he has to know that he's still got a really good chance to make the playoff and not have to play the SECCCG.

[JMath]

I’m sure he knows that all they have to do is win out (beat a below 500 MSU, a 3-7 West Carolina team, and Auburn) and he will likely be in. So I doubt he’s stressed at all about the position he’s in, but he definitely would rather be in LSU’s position.

[Orlando1234977]

This also maybe a wild note, but since Saban is a master at football:

Master at working the recruiting game at the college level. A 1-9 ffb miscer could coach a team full of 4 & 5 star recruits into some wins.

[lsiberian]

We got a wild couple weeks ahead for sure.

Should we be careful? Wouldn’t want to only win by 20...

Michigan has been losing on purpose to ohio state for 20 years. It's a mind trick.

It's ok, as long as they lose by less than 59 points they'll have done better than Wisconsin.

[Mumra]

I wonder what the spread for OSU v Mich is going to be?

it could be OSU -30 and I'd probably still take it. lol

[IronCharles]

If Oregon and Utah both win out, it will set up a Pac 12 championship game between top 6 teams. It would be really hard to leave the winner out of the playoff discussion.

If Oregon hadn't lost to Auburn they would have a shot at it and if USC had the same record and schedule as Utah they'd probably get in. The blue bloods always get preferential treatment and they'll leave Utah out. No way they get in ahead of a 1 loss Oklahoma or Alabama

Any of the top 4 teams could lose on Saturday.. We all know Bama will be in the playoff because the committee loves ratings and money. Bama brings both.

They also bring a proven track record of success and performance in big games. The committee is tasked to find the 4 best teams in football and it’s existence is supported by high ratings. If two teams are very similar on paper they are going to get the benefit of the doubt, and rightfully so.

Am I reading this right? You’re saying ANY of the current top 4 could lose this weekend? If so.... man.

Ohio State - Rutgers (OSU is a 52.5 point favorite)
LSU - Ole Miss

I don’t see either of those two upsets happening. Frankly I don’t see Clemson losing to Wake Forest either, but out of the 3 we know that’ll be in the top 4, I guess I’d say that game was most likely to have an upset. They’re still 34.5 point favorites too though.

He also said Bama lost on purpose so...

1. LSU
2. OSU
3. Clemson
4. UGA
5. Bama
6. Oregon
7. Utah
8. Minnesota
9. PSU
10. OU


Bama absolutely should be out of the top 4 because of them losing at home, embarrassed in the first half, and time at which they lost.



3 SEC teams in the top 5 lmao

And Georgia should be? Imagine putting OSU in the top 4 following some of those losses to unranked teams over the past few years...

None of it matters, it will all settle itself. Teams 4-9 haven’t separated themselves. The only ranking that does matter is oklahoma at 10. I don’t see a route for them to get back in the mix unless there is absolute chaos.
