Think about it.
Lose = Out, obviously.

Win =
1. Michigan
2. Winner of Oregon/Washington
3. FSU
4. Texas

Absolutely no way the committee puts in Alabama over UT when UT beat them straight up at home. Ain't gonna happen.

The don’t deserve it anyway.
#TheBamaDecline is in full effect and will only get worse when Saban retires at the end of the season

Big assumption about Texas winning.

If they beat Georgia in a close game Georgia still gets in

We would definitely need some help with FSU and Texas both losing. Either way, there will not be a complaint from me. We should've beat Texas when we played them earlier in the year.

I'm just happy we improved as much as we did throughout the season. If you would've told me after the USF game we would end the regular season 11-1 I would've called you a dumbass.

FSU can win and still not get in IMO w their QB being out. Alabama can absolutely get in if they win as it was the talking point in the iron bowl. Georgia is out if they lose.

It won't come to Bama-Texas. It will come down the Bama-Oregon and who has the better resume. It would be extremely difficult not to as Bama would have to most impressive win (UGA) and the best loss (Texas) ...but yall keep on praying

I agree. Alabama desperately needs a Texas loss. Assuming Alabama beats Georgia

There are 8 teams who have a chance at making it (sorry Mizzou you are #9)

If any of the 7 teams playing this weekend lose they are out period end no matter how much wishcasting and dipshittery Ole Marge is doing down in C-Stat

Case for each team to make it

Teams that control their own destiny:

Georgia win
Washington win
FSU win
Michigan win
Oregon win

Teams that need help:

Texas win + one upset (Alabama, Louisville, or Iowa)
Alabama win + one upset (Louisville, Oklahoma State, or Iowa)
Ohio State need Georgia, Washington, Michigan to win + one upset (Oklahoma State or Louisville)

You can debate all the rest you want but you would be wrong.

I love watching Bama fans do mental gymnastics to justify them being in the playoffs.

Has a team ever gone from #8 to #4 with a conference win and made playoffs? I genuinely don't know.

Alabama has - and will continue to have if both teams win out - a better resume than Texas. Pretty straightforward.

Bama beat currently ranked #12 Ole Miss, #14 LSU, and #21 Tennessee.

UT beat #19 K-State (who lost to an unranked Iowa State team, and may drop out of the top 25) and #8 Alabama

In this scenario Bama would add a win vs #1 UGA and UT a win vs #20 Okst.

Bama would have 4 top 25 wins vs UT’s 3 (maybe 2) and have 3 top 15 wins vs 1 for UT.

So Bama has more quality wins.

UT lost to the #13 team. Bama lost to #7.

So Bama has the better loss as well.

Better wins, better loss equals a better resume and should be voted ahead of UT

Louisville will take out FSU this weekend. Out of the top 8 teams, they are by far the weakest. Bama would beat any of the following: Washington, Oregon, tOSU, and Michigan. Only Tejas and UGA are problems for Bama, and UGA will be eliminated on Saturday.

Definitely a decent path for Bama to the CFP.

UGA wins big and makes everyone remembers why Saban hated Milore earlier in the year anyway. Nothing to see here.

Firstly and mostly, I don’t think Bama will win.
Secondly and realistically, who gives a flip about watching FSU play Michigan or Oregon. DISNEY will decide who gets in. Leaving out the SEC eyeballs will cost Disney.

Thirdly and lastly, if we should beat Georgia, not only will we be SEC champs, but to me and most SEC fans, the winner is the real National Champ.

You’re making a lot of bold assumptions. Nothing you’re claiming is a given. No team looks like the clear cut dominant team. Anyone can lose this weekend.

2. Winner of Oregon/Washington


If this is Oregon, you're talking about 2 one-loss conference champs.

1. Michigan
3. FSU
4. Texas


You're assuming all 3 of these teams win.
