I don’t normally do this but now I have to pull for the SEC in the playoffs. Maybe not Tennessee because I still my dignity. I hope we obliterate the field and all of the pretenders get crushed in each game they play.
Not me . They can all suck an egg. This committee will learn nothing from it. They ranked SMU higher than Clemson for a reason.

I think the 12-team playoff creates more controversy, not less.
This has been my point all along. There's something about human nature where the more you try to make things "fair" (play God as it were), the more they think they're entitled to. Kind of like government. Not saying we shouldn't legitimately try when we need to but does it actually help us when constantly doing it?

He’s the worst QB to put that jersey on since before JPW.

About 2.5 of those 3 losses are absolutely his fault.

He has continuously turned the ball over with fumbles and INTs and he shows no real leadership.

He’s prone to emotional outbursts and if not that he sits on the sideline completely disengaged from what’s happening.

He negotiated his QB1 status through the Lank/NIL crap instead of earning it.

And

If that’s not bad enough he’s a Selfish ME guy and all anybody needs to know about him is that non effort tackle attempt on that Pick 6 vs OU

The second he puts out his opt out msg to protect himself for the draft will be the highlight of the last 2 seasons for me.
I’m not the biggest Milroe supporter , but I don’t dislike him either. But you will have to show physical evidence before I believe a lot of what is said about him. As far as the sidelines, I see him on the IPad sometimes, I don’t know what you mean by disengaged.

If Alabama really wanted to expose things, they'd do a tour of the Big 12. There are no good football teams left over there but Alabama can go play Kansas, UCF, Texas Tech, and Baylor and then brag about their undefeated Big 12 record.
That’s more of what they SHOULD do. Or atleast stop playing B1G teams in favor of ACC and Big XII teams to put their legitimacy in question.

Absolutely agree, post the math and accept it for 2 years, then let teams reschedule based on the math. Its pointless to schedule 10 years out with this mess.

I honestly wish instead of a committee deciding who gets in, take the human bias out of the equation all together & bring back the BCS formula, that ranks the teams on a equal footing that's based on an equal criteria for the 12 team playoff..

As I said yes yesterday, we don’t have 5 autobids, we really have 8-10. You can’t just allow both teams from the conf championship games in the playoffs. Those games MUST matter.
Agree, don't don't don't like the "punish" discussion point at all - for some of these teams that is just another data point when they played nobody all season, and with acc and twelve they were fighting over top twenty level competition at best

The committee just said otherwise. Load up with cupcakes, because W/L is all that matters.
True but we should be playing to a standard. If we do that, we get in every single year. Losing 3 games especially to two 6-6 teams, we have no argument for inclusion. I'd much rather our play demonstrate our merit. If you lose 1 game, no one will leave you out of any 12 team playoffs.

By disengaged I mean he’s not supportive or actively rallying guys to what’s happening in the game.

When things go bad he just sits there staring off into space like he’s feeling sorry for himself or detaching from the reality of what’s going on.

He never displays visible leadership that you expect from a QB or Leader.

The other stuff I’m talking about will at some point come out.

He totally ignored that they ranked SMU higher than Clemson. This was not their choice. It was inclusion or merit - they chose inclusion.
Earlier Saban mentioned that maybe there were some teams that shouldn't be ranked as high as they were during the year based on competition and that even reaching the conference Championship game for some should be called into question. So, it's a snip that's sort of out of context.
