Agreed. Our only issue is Bama ahead of us if FSU wins. Georgia is in no matter what if they win though so roll tide.

Yeah but if Georgia wins the SEC definitely gets 1 team in. This scenario gives a much more likely chance of the SEC not getting a team in. 

I still can't see the committee putting Bama in over Texas due to H2H.

I think if bama wins the question shifts from if we should get in over FSU to if Bama should get in over FSU.

Yeah, I think this is right. 

Either Bama hangs in to win and we get in to or Georgia comes back and we then get into a conversation of who is more worthy between us and FSU if they win.

This is absolutely how it should be in a vacuum. But leaving the SEC out is a tough pillow for the committee to bite.

There is zero reason Georgia should get in over Texas if they lose this game. 

We have a conference championship and they don't. We have a #13 SOS and they have the #61 SOS. We have more top 25 wins. We have a win over a common opponent they lost to. 

This isn't even fucking close. 

This is correct. 

CFP: Washington, Oregon, Texas, and Louisville

Right, so FSU gets left out even if they win. It feels like that is the committees excuse to keep FSU out, it’s not Texas who would sit at 3, it’s Bama and the SEC that kept FSU out. 

If Bama wins, we should be in.  Then it becomes Bama needing an FSU loss or the committee jumping Bama over FSU even if FSU wins. 

FSU qb is out... they will have to start their 3rd string true freshman? Is that right?

The few plays he made in the FL game didn’t look too bad.

Correct. Hopefully Louisville makes everything in here moot. They have no excuse not to at this point.

If FSU loses and Bama wins could be looking at Texas v Washington Rose Bowl.

That is the one match-up I don't like.  Their strength vs our weakness.

I think Michigan losing makes it moot too. Unlikely they lose of course. 

 

I hope all of you are listening to halftime.

Yep, that Oregon loss and our performance today has shifted everything the media is talking about in our favor. 

If the SEC wants a team in the CFP, then UGA should win this game or Bama shouldn't have lost to us at home convincingly.

my bad, Tulane over Louisville

Since we are ahead of Bama, it is better if they win.

Still don't want them to win by too much.

So are we seeing a backlash of the supposed SEC fatigue? Too often its been Bama or UGA and very simply with the makeup of this committee, it would be the perfect time for them to freeze out the SEC if they have a chance

Louisville isn’t in the conversation

Blacklab's cheerleader should be.

Also, start rooting for SMU. 

OU will rise in the rankings. Makes our L look better. 

Edited by Rickylovesweed

I sure hope some of you are doing a bit.  The alternative is that the amount of dumb in this thread is dangerously close to TexAgs levels.  If you want Texas to make it into the CFP, there is zero reason to root for Georgia to win.  Zero.

GA can’t be rewarded with a loss and they can’t be above Bama. And Bama can’t be above Texas.

If this score holds, the only way GA and/or Bama is above Texas, is if there is an unwritten rule the SEC always gets in.

They’ve been waiting for us to give them a reason 

I'm hoping for 1. Washington 2. Michigan 3 Texas 4. Alabama

I think we match up really well with Michigan.

I'm trying to come up with a way for us to play FSU in the semis. I suppose if Georgia and Michigan both lost, it would look like 1. Washington 2. FSU 3 Texas 4. Bama? 

But Michigan isn't going to lose.

Yep. If FSU wins then UM is 1 and Texas is 4.

There isn’t such a rule?  I thought it was actually a written one.  Huh.

I have zero faith they don’t put Georgia and Alabama both in the CFP if Alabama wins this game. Zero. Zilch. None.

Possible, but it wouldn't be at our expense.

What other irrational fears do you have?

Early in this thread I advocated that there was a tiny chance Texas got in over an undefeated FSU.  But as many point out, that was the wrong comparison. Texas would be the 3 seed so they would put Bama in over FSU. That definitely could happen.

Nicely done. I'm guessing you've had that one in the chamber for a while.

I was you earlier this week and @Red Five kinda convinced me otherwise over the course of his posts... and recent tweets following our win. I think if Bama wins, they could pull us into the playoffs. If Louisville wins, it won't matter.
