There's a Path

It’s really simple if the committee wasn’t already bought and in the pockets of certain teams ($ec & ND)..

8. Oklahoma
9. Miami
10. ND
11. Bama
12. BYU

This way, Bama and BYU can both play their way in with wins without having to drop them from the playoffs with losses. If both win, ND and Miami are out. If only one wins, ND is out.

That’s the most practical way… and I even say that loosely because I don’t think Oklahoma belongs AT ALL!

This is what it should have been entering this week or the week prior. Now it's not going to happen though

And? It wasn't some huge upset.

Teams that win go up. Teams that lose go down. This is how life works.

JS you lose to the 17th ranked team and drop two. Do you drop off you are the 10 and lose to the 4. I believe Miami should be 8 or higher so I'm not arguing for this just pointing out the logic the committee will likely use if questioned when they **** us

It's funny that the 1st tiebreaker in SEC, B1G, Big 12, NFL division winner, NFL wildcard, and just about any other sport is......head-to-head. MLB is head-to-head. NBA is head-to-head. Even college basketball is head-to-head first.

But for the college football playoffs their narrative changes to....well who has the better losses?

“Funny” probably isn’t the way I would describe it. But, yeah.

I agree with absolutely every word of this other than “they aren’t guaranteed to get in.”

The committee doesn’t care about the eye test with SEC teams, all they care about is protecting specific brands.

Oklahoma making the playoff this year is a total travesty.

Would love to be wrong, but unless they do the right thing and swap us with Notre Dame, it’s over. And I have almost zero faith they do it.

It may be irrelevant if UGA doesn't handle business anyways but I think they are out if UGA wins on anything other than a last second field goal or something.

Their best win is not 1-1 vs them and that FSU loss will remain significant

On this, we respectfully disagree.

There must be consequences for losing. You cannot lose and hold your spot. It's un-American.

Like maybe a head to head record where one team is ranked higher than the other having already lost to said team? The committee has already given you the field if you listen to the talking heads... much like FSU getting booted years ago. They are not bouncing the SEC #1 seed for playing in a bonus game they would have made playoff without playing. BYU is different as they're currently not in so a loss can drop them. If they dropped bama then conference title games as a whole would be upended. No shot. If bama is still 10 tomorrow night then thats that.
 
While the subjective case can be made we should be higher than OU or Bama, the bottom line is we should be in over ND. We played them and beat their ***. Period.

The one bull**** part of this is the benefit ND received from beating Pitt while we were playing a dud and now this week when the roles are reversed we won’t see the reciprocal gain. Such garbage.

Alabama went down to the wire with a coach-less 5-7 Auburn team.

Oklahoma went down to the wire with a coach-less 7-5 LSU team.

Imagine if Miami was at the #10 spot in the rankings and an SEC team with the same record was trying to get in. Then imagine Miami plays a coach-less Virginia Tech team in the last game and wins by one score. We would be out so f***ing fast. It doesn't even get talked about that it should matter to Bama's chances. Meanwhile, Miami needs to beat ranked teams by 50 points to simply maintain its current position.

Bama ended the season:
USCe (4-8) : 29-22
LSU (7-5): 20-9
Oklahoma (10-2): 21-23
Auburn (5-7): 27-20

They beat two sub-500 teams by once score, lost to 11th ranked Oklahoma, and played a close game against coach-less LSU. That is an absolute s*** way to end a season.

They’re already spinning it on espn. Bama and UGA would be 1-1 on H2H. Also, if Bama keeps it close, forget about it. No way Bama gets left out.

If they are 10th and lose it will be tough
But guess we can go against everything that has ever happened before and not move them down a spot
 
There's a better chance that my dlqk will grow ANOTHER 10 inches than Bama being left out.
 
Hard to imagine a 9-3 Bama that gets dominated in the SECCG not budging even a spot, I simply can’t see it I could be wrong. If we somehow jump BYU to 11 that scenario would be our only hope..we can forget about the ND bs we got hoed there it is what it is that angle is dead

Did any conference game loser drop a spot last year ?
 
There is no path. Keep building the program.

A 3 loss bama making it over Miami or ND would be the biggest injustice yet

Only brainwashed sheep think a 3 loss bama should be in
