Bama Game Thread: CFP Selection Show details (12p-4p EST ESPN): Times, where to watch; Selection show 'game thread'

I don't know if we get in or not, right now I don't think we will, but I know if this was a regular season game SMU would drop 5-6 spots so why not now!

Because it‘s not a regular season game.

I think we needed them to lose by a big margin to jump them.

 

[Bamaro]

If we are out, I wonder how many players will opt out and who we will play and if we will even win our bowl game.

Bama should be in the playoffs according to SOS and other metrics. Committee ranked SMU and others too high all season and now have backed themselves into a corner. I don't trust them at all but hope I am wrong.

I'm guessing that a few are already mulling it over.

Joey Galloway has us in at #11 playing his Ohio State team.
Dan Mullen has SMU in and Bama as first team out.

Mullet aint very smart

 

[PA Tide Fan]

If we don't make it then I hope Oregon wins it all because there's no better way to show how nonsensical a 12 team playoff is than by having the #1 team win it.

smu doesn't even think they deserve to drop in rankings

They already know

Of course they dont.............but they should drop, and I think they will. Rhett Lashlee can whine all he wants, but they lost to the two ranked teams they played

Know they are opting out or know they arent in the playoffs?

yeah if they don't drop at all why even play your starters I. the conference championship? lose the game? so what? no consequences! yea!

This.

 

[Tide&True]

I think the 12-team playoff creates more controversy, not less.

[Foleybammer]

Drop the Conference Championship games and go to a 16 team playoff.
Alabama, Ole Miss and South Carolina would all beat SMU.

 

[Cruiser]

I could not have scripted a worse outcome last night.
I hope we get in because Bama is my alma mater and because I am afraid our players will jump ship if we don't.
If we had played Indiana's schedule we would be undefeated.

Wish I could agree; but this team is too inconsistent. We might go 11-1; but somewhere along the way we would have an Oklahoma game

Followed closely by Notre Dame….

 

[Cruiser]

Dinich and Finebaum both have us first team out and SMU in but they've been wrong in the past.

Current Fan Duel odds

SMU -390
Bama +280

Current Fan Duel odds

SMU -390

It's moved to -1000 SMU. They're getting in and really we have no one to blame but ourselves for losing to Oklahoma.

Still, I am not a big fan of this current system

Know they are opting out or know they arent in the playoffs?

I think B1G meant both...

As in no matter the decision by the committee the players who would opt out for a Bowl game have been advised to do so already.

Edit: Sorry I misread... I think he meant what I say above but the players don't know if they are in or not.

The reactions for being selected are usually genuine so I don't think they are tipped off early.

 

[B1GTide]

Know they are opting out or know they arent in the playoffs?

Whether or not they will opt out
