Bama MUST stay strong.

If LSU kicks their butt this week...........they drop to 10 and remain in the playoff. You watch.

Nobody has shown they are the best yet. We’ll see what happens.

Anyone know how they are coming up with the rankings for CFP?? A special algebra calculation?

No. That’s why they are ranked 9. Did you mean Indiana?

They're a shoo in for the playoffs being at 5. If they were to lose to LSU it would more than likely be a close loss, so then the committee would put them around the cutoff in or out and then they'd have the rest of their terrible remaining teams to beat to climb higher. Congrats on the playoffs Bama!

Melting about the rankings when a lot of these teams still play each other.

Makes zero sense to me

Shouldn’t osu be right near bama?

OSU has two top 20 road wins and blew Iowa out and won @4.

Texas has better wins than anyone in the poll 10/12/13

I don’t think it’s what they should be doing because they should judge off the games that have actually been played, but they are ranking Buck State with Fahey at qb

Notre Dame at 11 is awesome. Bama at 5 doesn't make much sense though

Calm down. The #5 spot is a marker for the big game this weekend, aka lsu.

Think about it and pull your panties out of your "he put his thumb in my bootyhole."

If LSU beats Bama and Texas we’ll be close to top 5 if not in it, right?

They’re too 5 with two losses and Texas is 7 with two losses.

I must have missed the memo that only the last 3 games should count. Let's put South Carolina in the top 5 then and ignore their 3 losses because they're on a hot streak and their losses were early.

The entire season counts man. Idk what to tell you. It will change as we get new results week to week as we get more data. It's not perfect but up to this point from what we know, at least Bama has wins on their resume that are objectively impressive. That's still Kentucky's only loss and it was a blowout in Lexington. People will tell you Kentucky needs to be respected but at the same time say the only win against them shouldn't be respected and that just doesn't make sense.

Remember, according to the committee if you lose your starting QB you're not allowed to be a contender anymore.

The inconsistency vis a vis Ohio State and Alabama and, additionally, Indiana and Notre Dame is baffling. That is what is frustrating with this.

Put up or shut up time for us, but I think we already knew that.

But why the frick is IU at 4 and we're at 11 given all the relevant data points? Their best wins are...Michigan? Nebraska? Minnesota? Our best wins are...Wisconsin? North Carolina?

We also didn't struggle frick our way into OT or last minute possessions against any wins - we thoroughly dominated every last one of them. They lost to the (unfairly ranked, in my view, but to call out the Committee's process) #12 team at home and we lost to the #8 on the road, both in very tight, near goal line last play scenarios. What the frick?

I shouldn't have to spell out the OSU vs. Alabama differences here, but the process is absurd. I can't wait until a school or conference breeches contract and sues them into kingdom come for loss of revenue just for the discovery.

I am pretty Yurachek has the IQ of my elementary school aged kids. He is a genuinely stupid person, and I don't state that lightly.
