They’re only legit win is over a mediocre LSU team at home and they should’ve lost that game.


They could’ve hung at least another 7 on us easily. Don’t say it was the refs in their pockets either.

Maybe you meant we could’ve won? We made the mistakes. Not Bama.

The debate is gonna be interesting for sure. Saban was already lobbying yesterday. Ohio State really needed Bama to win out.
Now I don't know, every time I look at resumes it seems like Ohio state would have the slight edge (would be top ten wins) but then you look at that IOwa game score and it really jumps pout at you. It's going to be very hard to ignore.
Style pts don't matter? BS. Ohio State needs to destroy Wisconsin

Not sure how everyone is saying auburn deserves to go over alabama.


You will likely get down voted, but it's a legit argument. A lot of people think quality wins trumps losses. I don't necessarily agree.

Auburn wouldn't be ranked ahead of Bama if Bama didn't have such a weak resume. A 2-loss team is about to be ranked ahead of Bama, that never happens. That should tell you their body of work leaves a lot to be desired

Absolutely.

Tide are a lock.

One loss, on the road, to a Top 10 school.

Zero chance they don’t get in.

I can’t wait to see Wisconsin beat OSU and Clemson beat Miami, and the decision having to be made between those 2, Oklahoma, and the SEC champion for the final 3 spots.

People who think Alabama has a chance in that scenario are full retard and cannot be reasoned with.

Losses have to matter. The committee has to stop giving out mulligans to name brand teams just because they pass "the eye test." You lost the most important game of your season and won't win your division or even play in your CCG.

Anyone saying Bama could be argued to be ranked ahead of Auburn right now is insane and part of the problem.

Bama needs some help

TCU win or OSU win or Miami win

Let’s be clear they don’t deserve in over

Big 12 Champ Oklahoma
SEC Champ Auburn
ACC Champ Clemson
Big 10 Champ Wisconsin

However I would vote for them over Big 10 Champ Ohio State and ACC Champ Miami

Who's in if the following happens?

USC beats Stanford (Pac 12 Champ)
Miami beats Clemson (ACC Champ)
Georgia beats Auburn (SEC Champ)
Ohio State beats Wisconsin (Big 10 Champ)
TCU beats Oklahoma (Big 12 Champ)

1. Georgia 2. Miami 3. Alabama 4. USC

If Bama makes it in, I have a feeling you'll hear the phrase "Florida State was a different team" a lot. Kirby already made that argument once when discussing the Clemson loss to Syracuse.

Probably but if your asking me to put Miami in with a loss to Pitt over Bama with a loss to Auburn then I’m gonna have a tough time putting Miami ahead of Bama.

I have to take into account Miami has struggled with “lesser” opponents all year including Virginia 2 weeks ago, and a GT team that Georgia destroyed etc.

Then I ask myself who wins head to head between Miami and Bama?

This is the only thing we disagree on

12-1 ACC Champ Miami > 11-1 division runner up Alabama

You’re probably right but man I have a problem with Miami Over Bama when we look at the body of work. Still if they beat Clemson to get in then that’s gonna be enough for 70% of the voters.

Alabama can’t jump Conference Champs

Oklahoma
Auburn
Clemson probably even Miami
Wisconsin
