What a difference 24 hours make. Chalk this up to continuing controversy and getting TV ratings. The "Bama is out unless they win" worked before the game to heightened interest and controversy, now the ESPN analytics team suggests it is better go the other route to keep the viewers. This is TOTAL BS and we all know Bama is not deserving. Just passing this along if not done so already.

They shouldn’t be deserving of there are other undefeated teams at the end of the year!!! A 1 loss team doesn’t deserve to be in the playoffs if there are still undefeated teams

FIFY.
The refs Saturday were pretty good. But, I still don't trust the SEC.

Bama was not deserving in 2011. They were not worthy in 2017.
Bama does better if they skip the championship game and gets a second bite at their conference champion in the big game.
Period.

Sec network started this crap right after the game!
This is the official SEC narrative.
It’s all about the cash.

He later clarified:
I suspect they do have an argument — a poor one in my opinion, but it’s not completely implausible. Would much prefer the PAC12/Big12 winner; this will be an interesting test of just how much goodwill Bama has accrued over time.

Not saying at all that they’re going to be put in. Simply agreeing with my colleagues on Gameday who felt Bama would still have an argument. Look at teams 4-5-6-7-8-9 today. They might be left out-simply saying they’ll be in the discussion if they win out.

I listen to Pawl and hear him weekly on Jox in Birmingham and he’s said all season LSU is legit
He said last week Burrow is the Heisman and O is the coach of the year and LSU is scary good and number 1 without question. He mentioned last week his first beat reporter job was in Baton Rouge and he loved every minute of it and loves the people of BR and Louisiana.
Don’t get where the “he hates LSU” narrative is. He likes to troll Bama fans as much as he praises them. He will rip them today.

Don't want to play a team twice in a season. Bama lost their chance in the CFP.

16 million plus watching the game had the TV execs pushing for a rematch.

The viewer ratings for this game were phenomenal. Marketing drooling for a repeat. Follow the money. Guess what happens. Pull for Auburn, and win out, Tigahs!

My issue is if they allow Bama in the playoff then then teams like Oregon have no reason to play a power SEC school.
If they would have played a cupcake then Oregon would be in the playoff (assuming they win out).
With that said LSU will be in a similar situation at some point in the future. Do we want to be left out even though we would be the better team.
I don’t think anyone feels Oregon is better than Bama. Is it the 4 best teams or the 4 most deserving teams?
I see the argument both ways. I don’t really have an issue playing Bama again AS LONG as when this happens to LSU in the future that it is viewed the same way by the committee.
I think we would beat them worse if we played them again in a neutral field.

Not a good look. Their SOS will bite them in the arse IMO.

The thing I don’t get is how any “neutral” person could watch that game and think, ‘man, I really want to see THAT team get another shot at it.’
Posted on 11/11/19 at 8:24 am to Awlunz Tiger
They won't get past Auburn!
Posted on 11/11/19 at 8:26 am to Awlunz Tiger
Mcleroy has BAMA at #4, but also says that's as high as they could hope to get. He's resigned to seeing them getting jumped. At least that's today's take.

I don't believe Bama will make the playoffs this year. However, if the selection committee puts them in at the end of the season they have to put them up against Ohio State in the first game. Don't care if it is 1v4 or 2v3, it has to be tOSU vs Bama in that first round.
If Bama feels they deserve a shot at this year's championship they have to first play the best team they haven't yet faced this year.
If Oregon wins out, I think the committee puts them in.
