i don't know about baylor, i responded specifically to oklahoma. i feel good about baylor as well, but not nearly as much as oklahoma.
i will guarantee and bet anything on the planet that 11-1 alabama does not get in over 12-1 oklahoma.

I’m just saying the committee doesn’t seem to respect OU very much right. And that TCU game isn’t game going to help matters.

Utah has been playing with fire for weeks against mediocre (and I use that term generously) teams. They lack any sort of team speed and would get shredded by Bama even post Tua. They are west coast Wisconsin.

Just seems like the only way to make the BCS NC or playoff without y’all freaking out about it.
LSU had 2 losses and made a 2 team playoff and throws shade at Alabama for back dooring playoff appearances.
I’m not even sure what backdooring a playoff spot even means or why it’s derogatory.

It is the little brother / conspiracy theory / catastrophe BS that is so prevalent. Sad.

it doesn't matter. they will be 7th this week in the playoff rankings by default and they would pick up 2 really solid wins in the next 2 weeks. they are 100% jumping alabama. the conversation would be between them and utah if it were to shake out that way and they should win that debate, too.
georgia beating lsu would be the worst thing for oklahoma's chances. they will also be cheering for oregon in the pac 12 title, but might not need it.

Winning a conference championship is better than not winning a conference championship when comparing similar resumes, or so we're told.

Under the BcS, which was even more of a scam than the current system.
They also at least had a conference championship that season.

Obviously.

What?
Most teams have to be the best of 7 to make the final 4 in the country
Your team has been the only exception
And it has happened twice

I can assure you that if utah and/or the big 12 champ have less than 2 losses then bama has a 0% chance. Not sure why everyone seems to think they have some kind of magical free pass.

people are, by and large, extremely stupid and/or completely ignorant on the topic.

that's been made abundantly clear over the last month. Like to a shocking degree.

What if 2-loss Oregon wins the Pac 12, Alabama goes 11-1, and Baylor beats Oklahoma in the Big XII Championship Game?
Alabama or 1-loss Baylor?
Have to believe it would be Bama under that scenario...

Who is better at football, Bama or Utah?
I believe that is supposed to be the question. I believe I read that somewhere.
And we all know the answer isn't close.
This is such an asinine assertion because it is a completely subjective measure.
Perceived "better" teams lose to perceived "weaker" teams all of the time.
Bama was a 6 point favorite, and LSU beat them at Bama.
Penn St was a favorite against Minny, and Minny beat them at Penn St.
Do you believe Bama was the better team when they played Utah in the Sugar Bowl that one year?
The list goes on and on.
To deny a team that has a deserving resume a chance to be in the playoff simply because they are perceived as weaker is fricking ridiculous by every measure. No matter how much you try to remove it, there will always be a bias one way or the other amongst human voters. This gives perennial powers the clear advantage.
Let's just not play the games and go off of recruiting and preseason rankings if this is going to be the criteria.

A 12-1 OU would have 2 wins over Baylor. Their loss ain't that bad.

Baylor.
I think Bama is screwed because you could've still used the eye test argument until Tua got hurt.

So you want the computers to decide?

I'm not totally opposed to it.
But my point is more regarding the "eye test", and using it as any type of valid measure.
