Uh, yeah, and they then got skull fricked by Florida, soundly beaten by Memphis, and escaped Vanderbilt and Auburn....


Which...I don't know...kind of makes BAMA losing to them at home while giving up a Pac 12 type score sort of a bad loss...right?

Bama turned the ball over 5 times


Yep...sounds shitty.

On a neutral field right now, Bama would be at least a 10 point favorite over OM. Fact.


Agreed. It's also irrelevant, since the game was already played and Ole Miss won. that's the only real fact here.

As I said in a thread from earlier today...having a committee while also pretending we care about "winning it on the field" is the worst of both worlds. You can;t have an eyeball test to determine who you THINK are the best teams. if you want math to solve the problem once the playoffs start, then you need to use math to pout the teams in the playoff to begin with. You only get that by having a structure whereby teams play their way in by virtue of wins...not how they look winning.

So Alabama has a loss and is ahead of 8 undefeated teams.....So if LSU happens to lose to this great team and their only loss is to Alabama, then they will most certainly be in the final 4 again next week, right?

I think it is obvious as frick that these rankings were manufactured to produce the best possible matchup this weekend. They know one of those teams has to lose so why not put them both in the top 4 and remove one after a loss? It works to create better ratings and buzz.

Don't like the guy...but he is spot on tonight. Baylor hasn't played jack shite yet...it is easy for an offense like that to take care and destroy inferior teams.....wait to they play a real defense where they Can't score like they have, and no way in hell they stop a power football team with those shitty defenses. You guys will never learn...you love the fun and gun....regardless of whether gimmick or not.

After looking at it all again, I can see why they are over teams like TCU and Baylor. Their schedules really have been awful and it will all play itself out with some big games coming up for them now.

I think they ranked Alabama #4 just so the NCAA gets another playoff game this Saturday. It's really what's best for their product. The ratings will be "HUGE" (Donald Trump voice).

How is a one loss Bama team (loss at home too) ahead of the rest of the undefeated teams? If they win out I can see it but at this point in the season?? Makes no sense. Mulligan all over again.


Agreed. How Florida isn't higher than them blows my mind. They beat the team that Bama lost to, along with their only loss on the road to the #2 team

It's not the committee's job to rank teams to drive ratings. So if that was the case...Not cool at all.

That said...Just win, baby!!
