Bama’s 3rd loss would come to a team they also already beat, so it nets out

You sound scared of potentially losing to Bama 3x in one year, and are lobbying for a worse team to get in so you can feel safe

Basically, with the regular season completed, we now have full resume's for all teams sans conference championship games which should be viewed almost separately

Comparing Bama's full resume to that of Notre Dame's after a settled field of results, Bama's is better.
Full stop.

For this reason, Bama will jump Notre Dame as somewhat of a "course correction" from the previous mistake of keeping ND ahead of Bama. Vegas knows this, which is why they are placing significantly better odds for Bama than ND

Bama lost a season opening OOC game to a team that just fired their coach.

Did this news just break or something

IF we make the SECCG, is it possible -

1) for Bama to decline participation
2) if participating can the game end in tie so that SEC ensures maximum teams in playoffs?

frick this

First thing I do when I look at stats is filter out FCS games

Next thing I do is completely ignore low value stats which is basically anything that start with “total”

Missouri win, USC win would be great for us I think

A Cinci win would be some good insurance too

Also beating Auburn should move us ahead of Notre Dame since we’ll have full body of work, and we’ll be doing to a conference championship while ND holds their dicks

Losing to a bad Auburn team with a chance to go to the playoffs would be embarrassing

---

They're top 30-35 in most metric systems and top 25 in several.
They have the 13th most talented roster in the country.
They've only lost 1 game by more than 7pts (UGA)

While I agree its a season killer if we lose to them, they're far from "bad"

“roster personal”

How does your kicker factor into giving up 44 at home?

He play linebacker too or something?

Advantages of having a SOS on the opposite end of the spectrum as ours

It's whatever. I wanted to see a sense of urgency, and pride in our play on Saturday. The game outcome and the play of the field seemed to show exactly that.

Can we keep that up for another 10 games? Obviously who knows. If we play the way we did on Saturday for the rest of the year, I imagine we finish no worse than 9-3, and I can live with that for another year
