Bama getting no respect

[2003TIDE]

have zero sympathy

Same. This is the fault of the system for releasing Playoff rankings weeks before it even matters and painting themselves into a corner.

I totally agree. I've always said that there should be NO rankings until at least early October.

 

[CajunCrimson]

No, Bama has to beat GA. Then let the chips fall where they may.

I know that. This entire conversation is based on the fact that we beat Georgia. I comment was based on that.

 

[CajunCrimson]

I think people are getting confused. I don’t think anyone’s trying to say that Bama doesn’t need to be held accountable for the loss. I’m 100% fine with it.

Where I’m not fine, is when not all the teams with a single loss are held to the same standard

If we end up with a win and a loss versus the top four, and we don’t get in over someone who has a loss and a win against a team not in the top four, there’s something wrong with that

 

[CajunCrimson]

And as a follow up, how does Oregon control its destiny, but we don’t?

The BS talk of how the PAC12 was the best conference in the nation very early in the year since they were 13-0 to start the season is why. However, let's look at the conference now and it's not the same. They are QB heavy with very little else to offer.

Also, it seems the committee has been blinded by not seeing teams improve and regress during the course of the season.

Because the committee has stated they have dominated their competition. Plus, we are held to one standard, one piece of data, one criteria....the Texas head to head.

Yep. Lol.

Oregon played 4 teams with winning records.
Loss to Washington
Win over Utah
Win over USC
Win over Oregon State

Alabama has played 6 teams with winning records.
Loss to Texas
Win over Ole Miss
Win over TAM
Win over Tennessee
Win over LSU
Win over Kentucky

Just putting that out there. Means nothing.

didn’t the Mocs have a winning record?

They are indeed in the FCS playoffs.

Portland State, on the other hand, finished 5-6. This was Oregons first opponent.....beat them 81-7

Oregon and Bama are held to two different criteria. They dominate their opponents, we lost to Texas at home by 10.

Selection Sunday will be impossible to listen to if we win and all the other favorites win.

So, their non-conference opponents were Portland St., Hawaii, and Texas Tech.

To be clear, they were trailing Texas Tech 28-17 entering the 4th quarter.

So, you are telling me that other than Washington, the one good team they've played (whom they lost to), they've dominated opponents such as the #3 team in the PAC-12, Arizona, who, BTW, lost to a 5-7 Mississippi State team that we beat 40-17...

I won't watch unless I know Alabama is getting in, and then I probably still won't watch.

The first CFP ranking this year was released (fittingly enough) on Halloween...

 

[dabamafan]

Want respect?

Don't lose by double-digits at home.

Point taken. But,didn't Penn St lose by 21 one year and win a natty ?

They should have had this info on the show and asked the Committee to explain....

I'm sorry, but he's an idiot if that is really what he wrote. Are people not listening to what the committee shill is saying when interviewed each week? He has basically told us what will happen, more than any other person in years past. Just last night he flat out said that if Texas wins they will remain ahead of Bama no matter what Bama does because of the H2H. They are favoring that one game in Sept over everything that has happened since and all other metrics.

Again, just go back and listen to the CFP shill interviews each Tuesday. This committee views Oregon as one of the best teams in the nation all because they dominate their (pathetic) opponents. Wouldn't surprise me if the biggest arguments in the committee room all year have been about possibly slotting a 1 loss Oregon ahead of FSU. That is how much they love the Ducks, it shows in their comments. I'm sorry but, if Oregon wins, they will move up at least 1 spot, guaranteed.


Last night's CFP shill interview seriously told us what will happen. If FSU and Texas win, Bama is out. This would be their final poll:

1 - Mich
2 - FSU or Wash (if Wash wins, they move to 2, if Oregon wins FSU moves to 2)
3 - FSU or Oregon
4 - Texas
5 - Bama
6 - UGA
7 - OSU
8 - Oregon/Wash

We need FSU to lose, then I think it would be Mich, Wash/Oregon, Texas, Bama.

Again, IMO, the CFP shill basically told us this last night. No, not in exact detail but... They love love love Oregon; no 1 loss is jumping an undefeated; and Bama will not jump Texas unless UT loses. I'm just telling you what I heard the dude say.

Texas...has...to....lose! As said, it simply doesn`t matter what happens against UGA.
