Why on earth would anyone think Alabama should jump Texas?

Not sure where you see the screwjob.

Waiting for ESPN to bust out the “if they played today” talk track.

Imagine being so delusional that a two score home loss is meaningless and you still think you have a case over that team, all else equal.

The only shot Alabama has is if Florida state gets beat.

OSU had a path to the top 4 but it did involve a bunch of really wacky shite (UM big win + losses by UT, UO, Bama, and FSU).

Yeah if Texas and Alabama lose then Ohio State is ahead of them. If those teams win then they’re ahead of Ohio State.

So Texas and Alabama should have started the day already ahead of Ohio State if Ohio State’s path involved Texas and Alabama losing.

This is extremely simple so I wouldn’t expect most of the MSB to get it.

Thats probably one of the dumbest "burns" y'all have come up with. Should he have been happy we were dropped from #1?

They were #2 and lost to #3 by single digits.

exactly. why would 1 loss Bama be ahead of 1 loss Ohio State when Bama's loss is at home by double digits to #3 (assuming Texas is there with a FSU loss) and Ohios State's would be by 3 pts on the road @ #2.

It absolutely makes sense

Why is Ohio State ahead of teams they need to lose to make the top 4?

How does needing a team to lose have any bearing on rankings?

It feels like you can throw a blanket over the top 5 teams. Ohio St. is one of those 5, as is Bama and Texas. UW and FSU are just outside that group.

I'm the biggest Ohio State hater in the world but I dont see the rationale in Bama being ahead of them.

Bama has already set the precedent of not playing in your conference championship game not mattering at all when it comes to making the championship game/playoff.

they only have themselves to blame

If anything, Ohio State was too low. They should've been #5 and Oregon should've been #8.

Bro this committee has fricked this up from day one and I can’t believe I’ve been one of the only ones melting about it.

I really had respect for the MSB but this year has shown me it’s just a bunch of gay LSU and WestCoast(my phone autocorrected to that lol) trolls.

They probably have OSU at 6 to save face and just be another buffer between Alabama and the playoff.

Per usual, you're melting like a 5 year old child.

If FSU and Michigan lose, yall will be out of the playoff, and yall 100% deserve it.

Don't get butt fricked at home by Texas and it wouldn't be a problem.
