I cant believe we didnt drop and they kicked Notre Dame out and jumped Miami up.

What is happening.

end of times?

 

[AlistarWills]

So I just had a thought. Do they release the early versions of these rankings, to get groupthink going? To have the talking heads and general public chime in and point out the flaws of their thinking?

We got a good draw too.

Rematch with OU which is better than facing A&M probably.

Then if we can get payback we’d get IU instead of tOSU.

IU fans are livid right now on Reddit…lol

Okay can I at least get partial credit for correctly predicting miami would get in? Sure I thought they would get in over us but that's just a minor detail.

They should have gotten in over ND. But , Notre Dame dropped from ninth to tenth to out of the playoffs and the only data point during that time was a 70- 7 win over Syracuse and a 49-20 win over Stanford. It’s not that Notre Dame is out of the playoffs, it’s the ranking process through the last three weeks that doesn’t make sense.

Does the fact that Bama is the most watched team in CFB help in the selection process?

 

[OconeeTide]

Im utterly shocked, i thought for sure they would leave us out.
Then they left out ND? wow.

You answered your own question

1. Indiana (Rose)
2. Ohio St (Sugar)
3. Georgia (Orange)
4. Texas Tech (cotton)

5. Oregon vs 12. James Madison
6. Ole Miss vs 11. Tulane
7. Texas A&M vs 10. Notre Dame
8. Oklahoma vs 9. Alabama

I could see a flip of bama and notre dame but expect Georgia to take the 2 spot if that happens.

Well guys…. I had only my second miss in picking playoffs since 2014… I didn’t think they had the guts to leave Notre Dame out. My only other miss was where they ranked Washington in 2018.

I know it won’t happen, and I might even be victim of it at some point, but we need to acknowledge that there is no bias against us with the committee. Not saying it would have been right, but the path of least resistance was probably putting in ND and Miami over us.

 

[BamaBoySince89]

They stood up to ND! Join a conference and stop playing those watered down schedules.

 

[Maudiemae]

Does anybody know when the time and tv info will be decided?

Dec 19th for Bama game on ABC

 

[spidermayin]

so looking at this final ranking. Basically the ACC and SEC championship games did not matter to us.

2025-26 College Football Playoff schedule, dates, TV channel, sites

Here's the schedule for the College Football Playoff for the 2025-26 season. This is the second year of the 12-team playoff. The bracket was announced on Sunday, Dec. 7.

[BamaLuver]

no turnovers and we should win

All I remember from that game is the defense being in Ty's face play after play. The OL has their work cut out for them between now & 12-19.

TBH the only real gripe Alabama fans have ever had in the BCS and playoff era was last year. But it’s still a hard argument when you have 3 regular season losses. And yes TCU deserved a spot in 2022… everyone on this board knows if they wore crimson and cream or burnt orange and white helmets that no one would cry as loud about a 12-1 team big XII runner up being in over a 10-2 non sec championship participant

Plus the B1G CG upset was potentially beneficial.

Lol

A lot of fanbases are Big Mad right now.
