With how the rankings are set up everything is riding on that bama game

If we lose to bama we will drop and even beating Texas and Tennessee will be too big of a whole to climb out of and get in that top 11 imo. It’s clear the committee held our 0-2 record be the top 25 against us their waiting on us to get a marquee win which is kind of ridiculous because in the same breath bama is 1-2 in their top 15 matchups but are getting extra credit for beating miss state when Kamario was playing even tho at that point he wasn’t 100 percent.

Why is Tennesee, with a head-head win and the same amount of losses, 8 spots below Alabama? The whole “quality wins” argument is circular if a team has a head-head win imo. Bama at 5 is just retarded

There’s a non-zero chance that we beat Bama, yet they remain ranked ahead of us.

I honestly don’t think so. At least if it comes down to the very end. At that point we would have 2 more quality wins the committee values and could argue we were a handful of plays from being undefeated. That being said if we play to our potential I like us against anyone at home or neutral field. Getting a home game in the playoff is just as important as making it and we aren’t getting that with 3 losses. Another loss by BYU, TT and Ohio state basically serve up the SEC to get multiple 3 loss teams in. Problem is if we win out I actually don’t want that to happen because you know they will rematch us with an Ole Miss away game.

How? We would have head to head and they would have 1 more loss

Nothing is at stake for bama though. Hell Deboar could even rest his starters and afford a couple more L’s and they would still put them in.

Because of the loss to South Carolina, right now, is much worse than Bama's worst loss, which is to Tennessee. Bama should not be that high, though.
To me, Texas is even more of a head-scratcher, with two bad losses to Oklahoma on a neutral field and Florida in Austin.

They smoked SC UK and KT Miss st. They are a bad call and a few plays from beating Georgia. That’s 3 “quality” wins vs 1. Also no “bad” losses. I don’t totally agree with the reasoning but it makes sense with that reasoning. Also if that is the reasoning it means 9 and 3 LSU is in.

From the past, the cfp committee essentially rebuilds the rankings every week. This weeks rankings are kinda meaningless.

Actually the tigers will have to win all 4 to get in

Plenty of football left to play, but we need to be 1-0 on Saturday.

While meaningless now, it gives good insight as to how they feel about certain teams.
Here's the ranked SEC teams
2. Georgia - 7-1 (Has H2H over Bama)
5. Alabama - 6-2 (Has H2H over Kentucky)
6. Kentucky - 7-1 (Has H2H over LSU)
7. Texas - 6-2 (Has H2H over Ohio State, Tennessee, and Ole Miss)
10. Ole Miss - 6-2 (Has H2H over LSU and Mizzou)
13. Tennessee - 6-2 (Has H2H over Bama)
14. LSU - 6-2
18. Mizzou - 6-2
I think, at the end of the season, if there are a bunch of SEC teams with a similar W-L record, it would look kind of like this. Ranking Bama over Kentucky is a signal that all records being equal, Kentucky would slide to the bottom of a group of teams with a similar record.

This is the circular logic im talking about though. Sure Tennessee’s “loss” may be worse, but they literally beat them head to head? You don’t need to compare the quality of losses if you have a head to head game, especially one that wasn’t very close, imo.

Because Alabama lost to the #2 team as well as Tennessee, while Tennessee lost to the #7 team and #21 team when they were unranked.
Maybe they are going by that. But, to other posters' thoughts, I agree with them that the committee is slotting Bama and Texas where they are to ensure that one or both get in the CFP despite another loss while knocking Notre Dame out completely by losing to #1 Miami.

It is circular to a degree. But because some things are difficult or even impossible to quantify in sports, it sort of happens a lot. Part of it is clearly the eye test. Bama looks like a better team than Tennessee in most of the games each has played.

Even though Texas looks like the worst 2 loss team to me I think their resume makes them the best. I mean, since I think we should take wins AND losses into consideration.
They're the only ones with 3 ranked wins.
Ole Miss has 2. And none of the other 2 losses have more than 1.
