We don't know that. They could be picked with 3 losses, we'll have to see.

If Bama has not earned it, what would you say with regards to how LSU got into their previous championship games?

I would have said this too in 2011 when they were picked over a conference champion that also had 1 loss in overtime with a harder schedule...just saying.

They'll have to earn their high ranking, for once.

I agree with that.

not sure what your point is? OP isn't talking about how LSU won their championships.

Good points on both sides of this argument. 2011 rematch shouldn't have happened. Hypocrisy of all time Saban saying in 2012 UGA 11-2 should have got a BCS bowl over UF 11-1 who had played 6 top 15 teams in 2012 after 2011 when Bama had played a split with 2 top15 teams and was put in the NC game in 2011 vs Okla ST. who had played 5 or 6 top 15 teams. Six SEC teams would have been favored against ND in 2012.

If you don't think the Bama grads control the officiating and schedules look up who they are and where they went to school. Look up recruiting budgets and staff members as well.

It is what it is. They are good and if they beat LSU,MSU,Aub, then UGA they deserve it.

That would be earning it in my book, I don't care if it is da gumps, that's a tough run to win those 4 games in 4 weeks...I doubt if it happens...bama, like LSU has a lot of young'uns on their roster and are still learning...

I am just hoping we put an end to their hopes on 11/8...

and

dat gumpass!!!

yeah I'm skeptical of the committee.....it's possible they kept Ole Miss so high so that the loss by Bama to them would be a better loss...I know that's probably reaching, but I have to think the committee members feel good about Bama....but yes they will have to earn it...another loss and the SHOULD be eliminated...assuming they don't win the SEC.
