Am I wrong to think Alabama is screwed if they don't win the SEC?

I'm not Bama fan but ND being ranked ahead of Bama makes zero sense to me. Bama has much better wins than ND and it's not even close.

Wins don’t matter apparently…. According to the committee. And well, losses do. ND has better losses…. At least says the ****wad that spoke last night on the cfp show. Bama lost to fsu thus they’re lower.

It’s all an utter joke. Johnny come latelys just saying anything to protect their preferences (SEC schools and ND). I’m sure the goalposts will be moved again to keep us out.

Do I have this right? Gt loses to Pitt And lville beating Smu opens up one title spot then uva losing to vt to opens the other one?

Wins don’t matter. Losses are more important. Since Notre Dame has only lost tow good teams, they are (according to the committee) better than Alabama who lost a game to a bad team. Doesn’t matter that Notre Dame hasn’t beaten a single good team all year. Losses to good teams count more than wins over good teams.

Speaking of conference games, will be interesting to see how the committee handles GT

If they win, they get the 11 seed.

If they play UVA and lose, I don’t know what happens to UVA. Do they get the 12 seed? Or no invite?

They are ranked #10 right now. If they lose the SEC championship game they would have 3 losses and would likely fall at least 3 spots in the final rankings. Does this not open up a spot for us or someone else in the playoffs over them as an at large?

Alabama is probably gonna lose at Auburn. So that will take care of all of this. Also, everybody needs to keep pounding the fact that we share a common opponent with Alabama and that opponent blue Alabama out and we intern blew out that opponent FSU. Common Opponents are supposed to mean something! Keep plastering it on social media!
 
Why are people mentioning the SEC title game as it pertains to Bama like TAMU isnt gonna be playing Jawja 🤷

they didn't penalize SMU last year so deff won't do it to Bama

They didn’t penalize SMU because they didn’t have to. SMU was 8th before the ACCCG last year, at 11-1.

They lost, and were penalized. They went from 8 to 10 in the final rankings.

Where they were fortunate is the #11 team had 3 losses. So they penalized them, dropping them 2 spots but kept them in the bracket justifying it by record.

If Bama loses in the SECCG this year, to fall to 10-3, there are likely to be several 10-2 teams who will have an argument that they should jump them.

So you can’t say they didn’t penalize SMU for losing to Clemson. They did. They dropped them 2 spots. If they dropped Alabama 2 spots, they’d be out.

Interesting discourse. Just another curveball to all this bull****.

In that scenario, horrible that ACCCG winner doesn't get an auto bid.

ACCCG winner DOES get an auto bid, assuming it's one of the 5 highest conference champions, which it almost certainly will be as long as it's not Duke.

The official verbiage is:
  • The 12 participating teams will be the five conference champions ranked highest by the CFP selection committee, plus the next seven highest-ranked schools.
So, much like Clemson last year, even if GT or UVA or SMU are not in the top 12 of the rankings, if they win the ACC, they are in the bracket.

It's why we keep saying we need to get to #10.

Because the 11th and 12th spots will likely go to the G5 rep and the ACC Champ. So #10 will be the final at-large spot. Just like last year, Alabama finished 11th in the final CFP rankings, but didn't make the playoff.

Whatever rules you think would apply to us, do yourself a favor and discard them when talking about Bama, ND, etc.

The ONLY way Alabama doesn't get in is if they lose to Auburn, AND the SEC Championship Game. That's it. They are safely in, because they will make the SEC Championship and you can't be punished for losing the conference championship game, provided they don't lose to Auburn as well.

If bama loses to Auburn they’re out. Too many 2 loss sec teams already in for them to get the full sec bias advantage.

Not ti mention before the game the committee absolutely said SMU could have been eliminated based on the outcome of the game. They lost in the last second in a game they were in control of for large portions. Thats the only reason they stayed in. Make no mistake if smu had lost 31-17 they wouldn't have been in.

With all that said, bama has nothing to fear.
