    I'd rather stay behind Georgia until they come to Austin.  Same way I felt about being behind SC in 05.  I'd rather have something to prove than something to defend.

    You say a lot of stupid shit and you do it at a rapid, voluminous rate. You’re like a shit howitzer, just fucking blasting the board with constant bullshit.

Which means if we win uga 3 is pretty likely 

Match #11 bama @ #6 pennst in the 1st Rd.

Oh, and the fact that Duke isn't ranked is 1) a travesty, and 2) a deliberate decision by the committee to weaken Miami's resume so they can say the Hurricanes have no ranked wins and elevate Alabama above them. Note that the committee has always made sure to keep Missouri in the rankings as a ranked win for Alabama.

Would be a ranked road win for SMU too 🤷‍♂️

Same thing with Louisville. One of those choads on the desk is like WELL SMU DOESN'T HAVE ONE RANKED WIN!

Okay but we beat AP #26 and AP #27 both on the road. Sorry we didn't hit the arbitrary #25 cutoff.

Hate that metric.

they were ranked at the time. The L to your team knocked them out of the rankings lol

Just like Texas’ win over aggy. That was a ranked win - we knocked them out of the top 25

I think they would drop Georgia behind Tennessee in that case. To my knowledge the committee hasn't said CCG game losers can't be "punished," that has been other people.

Ideal state is we don't get a single SEC v SEC or B1G v B1G matchup until the semifinals just not sure if that is viable and I lack the desire to do the what if scenarios.

And UNLV.

Committee to SoCar: next time, beat Bama and lose to Miss St, we’d forgive that loss 

Isn’t that basically what the media was saying about us until Saturday?  Beat Georgia and it’s ok to lose to vandy or missst?

This !!  Final rankings need to take matchups into account, most would need to be moved up or down 1 spot to avoid any rematches in 1st and 2d round.

If that’s the case would psu drop behind tosu

And they'll drop Penn State behind Domer if Oregon wins, giving the fucking Domers the 5 seed.

Nobody is getting the benefit of the doubt more than those assholes. They haven't beaten anyone worth a crap and they lost AT HOME to a 7-5 MAC team.

Top 25 wins is a weird metric. A win over 25 is that much more important than 26?

This situation is highly likely to occur so I think we will see the Bama vs SMU discussion put to the test

Looks like we have our answer.

 

So if chalk holds,  would Notre Dame move up to 5 and everyone shifts down a spot? PSU to 6, Georgia to 8? I don't think the loser of the CCG in the Big 10 and SEC should lose a home game if they lose the CCG since that's an extra game. A 3rd Texas Georgia game would be stupid. I know they'll do all they can to maintain a possible Big 10/former Pac 12 Rose Bowl so it wouldn't shock me if they double stack Penn State vs. Ohio State in the 8/9.

This is dumb. The results this week say something about the overall strength of schedule for teams that aren’t playing. 
if Clemson destroys SMU that makes USCe win last weekend better. 
If Texas destroys Georgia that diminishes Bama’s best win. It’s more data and it should all be weighed, even if those teams aren’t playing. Dumb dumb dumb.

I agree that's silly but Miami can honestly fuck off. They play one side of the ball and could have gone like 8-4. I like all of Ole Miss, Bama and SCAR better than them. I mainly think SCAR is getting shafted.

I don't think there's any way 2-loss Penn State stays ahead of 2-loss Ohio State

Exactly right on this.

Saw one scenario that has bama @ tOSU 🤔

In case you guys are wondering why SEC teams still play FCS cupcakes in November, this is why:

 

holy christ.  I knew that dude was an idiot.   I mean, fuck Miami, but the gymnastics(see Ole Miss also) to get Bama in are hilarious.

and to look at the last 3 games  in a 12 game season is just moronic.  This isn't like basketball where you play 10 games in the last 3 weeks.

That would be great. Figure out who the fraud is.

That is fine too basically as long as they get to play in December in a frozen hellhole ;-)

South Carolina getting the entire shaft from the officials in the LSU game proving to be pretty important now. The officiating in that game was a traveshamockery.

They couldn't handle Norman in November.

Then again tOSU couldn't handle Columbus in November against a 5 loss Michigan team. 

The more I think about it the more I think America needs it to happen (since the CFP has already told us Bama isn't missing out).

Yeah the SEC rigged the game to protect the wrong team.

Remember this for a future year when people are trying to convince us that the Longhorns will drop behind other teams with similar records.

The goal of the committee is entertainment and money, and they understand the goal. Blue bloods will always get the benefit of the doubt.

Such an absurd double standard. If the name on Bama’s jersey was “Texas”, and the Longhorns were sitting at 8-3 with that same schedule — no one would be considering us for a spot.

Alabama is exactly why we shouldn't schedule anybody worth a shit in non-conference.

Their best opponent in non-conference is 5-7 Wisconsin. A 2 loss SEC team will make the playoffs and a 3 loss SEC team has a shot to make it even with a shitty ass non-conference schedule. There is zero incentive to play good teams in non-conference and risk a loss.

That’s exactly what I was thinking.  LSU was #16 at the time.  South Carolina was unranked.  The SEC put their money on the wrong horse.

The sport changes the logic to favor Alabama every year to get them in. 

Last year it was who was hot, ignore middle season wins/ losses. 

 

This year it's opposite.

 

That program can't burn into fucking oblivion fast enough.

Miami was given two gift wins thanks to refball and we’re supposed to feel sorry for them???

No....

Tough to say. I think we’d get it as a helmet team and SECSECSEC

No way. Unless they just hammer UO. Which isn't happening.

No fuck Miami.... The only school I feel bad for is South Carolina

No.

If Texas avenges its only loss we’re definitely the top seed.

Fuck them too!

They have two home losses. Their best wins are aggy and a Clemson team that was CRUSHED by Georgia AND they lost to Alabama.

They got goat fucked by the refs in the LSU game. They should have 2 losses

I mean, Wisconsin is a top tier OOC by SEC standards. Bama did also play lowly Texas the last 2 years.

Refball was pretty important in South Carolina's win last week as well. I hate using refs as an excuse, but they have been exceptionally bad this season

Yeah, that’s a good way to frame it (if Oregon loses.) I tend to agree.
