  • I can see it now. Alabama will sneak in

    From Eric Ramon@21:1/5 to All on Sat Nov 19 12:02:08 2022
    if TCU and Michigan lose today...

    things will break Bama's way in the next few weeks and they'll get in as #4.

    Well, TCU and Michigan won, so we escaped that for now. I was thinking 3 SEC teams but not Alabama. Had Michigan lost, and then beaten Ohio State, TCU lost, and LSU beat Georgia in the SEC title game, I was starting to wonder if we'd get Georgia,
    Tennessee, and LSU in the playoffs.

    I have a simple, accurate two (2) step process to
    determine the top four (4) college football teams.

    Step #1:

    The Ohio State University Buckeyes are number one
    and you let the crowd squabble over the next three teams.

    Step #2:

    If the Alabama Crimson Shit Kickers are on the list
    you look for all the crooked crap and preferential
    treatment the SEC pulled to get them there.

    And my response is the same: #3 that Ohio State will get their asses kicked.

    Alabama has an in, though -- Tennessee just got dumped.

    even had that happened, way too much else would have had to happen.

    TCU 4
    USC 5
    LSU 6
    Alabama 7

    LSU gets rolled by Georgia, USC loses to Oregon, TCU loses somewhere.

    With all due respect sir, I think you underestimate
    the crooked crap and preferential treatment the SEC
    pulls to give the Alabama Crimson Shit Kickers what
    ever they want. And the SEC Refs are there
    to seal the deal.

    Irish Mike

    Go Buckeyes!

    People forget who the refs work for.

    all those teams wouldn't neccessarily fall below Alabama in that case. 12-1 TCU losing to kansas state in the big12 title
    game is going to be ranked above 10-2 *and idle* Alabama for example. 2 loss oregon *with* a pac12 title probably then jumps Bama
    if they beat USC in that title game. And it isn't even a sure thing LSU falls below Alabama even with a third loss....after all, they each had 2 losses going into that game and LSU won the west. It's reasonable to look at it as an 'extra' game for LSU..
    ...at least with respect to
    comparing them to *idle* Alabama....idle because they lost the west to LSU.

    maybe only 2/3 of the above happen if all those teams lost and not all three, but no way in hell Alabama is making the playoff.

    Looks like if Kansas State beats TCU and Utah beats USC - both very possible - then Alabama probably does sneak in...over a Tennessee team it lost to.

    I don't think even Alabama fans would stand for that.

    Not really unreasonable. Both of Bama's losses were on the road and on
    the last play of each game. OSU has the recent stench of the blowout
    loss to UM and Tennessee has the recent stench of its blowout loss to
    South Carolina. Not many good choices if TCU or USC fall on their faces
    this week.

    But the committee already decided Ohio State was better than Alabama. There was an argument to flip that, but they didn't use it last week. I really hope that they just keep TCU in, even if they lose. I'm already looking forward to the 12-team playoff,
    when the conference championship games will actually mean something.
