He said that last week was our last at #1. He knew they would jump us with OSU to keep us away from Bama in Rd. 1. I don't think this is a crazy conspiracy, I think it's a legit angle.

Bama isn’t in the playoffs yet. So why make this move now?

I refuse to give finebaun credit

It's a tv show which needs ratings - osu has the biggest fan base and need them to tune in

If Lsu wins out they he'll be 1

He also said last night LSU was up by 20 against Bama and couldn't close it out

First off, I think a Pac 12 Champ Utah or a Big 12 Champ Oklahoma jumps Alabama. I really do. I’m not so sure Alabama will even beat Auburn, but should they do, I expect a very close game.

That said, should we win out (and Ohio State), beating Texas A&M and #4 Georgia, in Atlanta, convincingly, I don’t see how we won’t be bumped back up to #1.

He didn't call it. He helped push the narrative.

Let me get this straight for everyone...

The "Committee" watches the same games on TV, hears the same crap from the announcers, listens to the same talking heads, and watches the same highlights as all of us. That is why it matters what these idiots say on national TV. It has the power to swing votes like it did this week. Just wait until it swings the votes for the actual playoff.

So when Finebaum says, "Alabama beat themselves against LSU and deserves to be back in the playoffs over a 1 loss LSU team" Don't be surprised if it comes to it stuff like that happens.

That scrawny jackass helped the committee justify their ranking. Can't stand that Bama brown noser

He also said there is a Bama bias against them. I didn't really believe that, until now.

The LSU drop only hurts Bama. It cheapens their loss.

The committee is making it easier to exclude another SEC team, barring an LSU loss to GA.

It gives them the leeway to set the 4 teams up like they want. They damn well don't want LSU in Atlanta back to back, that's for sure.

Just follow the money. It will tell you what will most likely happen.

Actually he was wrong and you're wrong. He said it 2 weeks ago. Said OSU was supposed to jump up last week and they didn't

Where he will be wrong is when he said it would be LSU's LAST week at number 1. If LSU wins out we will be #1 after the sec championship!! Book it!

When we beat UGA we are undeniable at #1 and Bama slides into the #4 slot. I would rather play Clempson than Bama.
