He's politicking for a playoff spot. He might sit Tua against Mississippi State to show the committee he wasn't 100% against LSU, thus explaining his mediocre first half performance. The man is a political genius. ...

[quote]Wasn't the talk in '06 that Ohio State and Michigan were far and away the best teams and deserved a rematch for the title, and no other team stood a chance, right up until Florida beat the shite out of them? [/quote] If Florida had been upset by Arkansas in the SEC Championship Game, Michig...

[quote]If Oregon wins out and beats a very good Utah team, becoming conference champs with a better win than Bama they are in. [/quote] Not necessarily. If Auburn defeats Georgia they are 9-2 coming into the Iron Bowl against what is probably the toughest schedule in all of college football. Th...

[quote]Both smiths tds were mistakes[/quote] Smith's first TD was a trick play that fooled your whole defense while his second TD was just the DB being burned by a faster player on a go route. In both cases the covering DB couldn't keep up with Smith and that's why he got wide open. ...

[quote]Plenty of millennials are children of baby boomers too.[/quote] So what? "Baby Boomer" merely describes the newborn population boom in the aftermath of WWII. Our boys came home and screwed like rabbits because they were all so relieved to be alive. Generation X are the children of thos...

[quote]What makes you so certain Bama has a better shot than those teams?[/quote] Recent history. Alabama is clearly among the most talented and well-coached teams in college football. Each time they have been given a mulligan, they have pulled through in dominant fashion. At the end of the...

[quote]Considering Oregon would run the table and have better wins than Bama.[/quote] But Alabama would have defeated the one team Oregon lost to, and on the road to boot. And if somehow Alabama wins going away, it looks even worse for Oregon. ...

[quote]That isn't the point of the committee.[/quote] The point of the committee is to get the four best teams into the playoff, is it not? If it comes down to crunch time and you have the following scenario: 1. LSU (13-0) 2. Ohio State (13-0) 3. Clemson (13-0) Alabama (11-1) Or...

[quote]of course a Bama fan is arguing that Bama should be put in regardless of record or schedule[/quote] Record? Yeah. If we lose again...we're out. Schedule? If we beat Auburn on the road, Oregon has no right to be in ahead of us since they played the same Auburn team and lost. ...

[quote]Is this really how you are arguing we should do this?[/quote] That's how the Committee has done it in the past. Their mandate is to select the four best teams. I'm sure when they are doing their final rankings, more than one will be asking the question: "Would Team A defeat Team B in a n...

[quote]Yeah, I'm not sure what post-war baby boom people think was happening in 1964.[/quote] Baby Boomers are mostly the children of the World War II generation. By and large, they stopped having children by the mid-60s. My mother was the youngest child of a World War II vet and she was born ...

[quote]There's a huge gap in tech that those born in 84 had versus someone in say, 88. The difference in those that never spent teenage years without a cellphone do not relate socially to those that had to actually use things like lan lines, pagers, payphones, etc. [/quote] I was born in '87, did...

[quote]There are a lot of differences between Bama and Baylor Bama has a loss, Baylor doesn’t Baylor has ranked wins, Bama doesn’t [/quote] And who would you take in a neutral site game: Alabama or Baylor?...

I think people are forgetting that the committee has proven time and again that they don't care about schedule so much as they care about the eye test. The committee has to ask themselves, all things being equal, who wins in a neutral site game with a month to prepare: Clemson or Minnesota? Alaba...

[quote]So you have never heard of shooting models to scale with minimal cgi added or using ships that appear similar to the error portrayed, [b]like Nolan did in Dunkirk?[/b][/quote] And if there is one criticism I will lay at the feet of Dunkirk, it's the fact that the film lacks scope due to ho...

[quote]Little worried about Tua. We need to beat everyone on the schedule and he gives us the best odds. [/quote] We don't need Tua to beat Mississippi State and Western Carolina. We will need him for Auburn. ...

Baby Boomer, Gen X, and Gen Z seem to be pretty set in stone as far as when they begin and end. However, no one seems to have a set beginning for the Millennial generation. I've seen graphs where the generation starts in 1980, 1983, and 1985. I've also seen one or two where the generation starts ...

[quote]Brando has been on this tirade for a few years now. Preseason 2 years ago is when I remember him starting.[/quote] It's been longer than that. I remember him going off on the BCS when we moved back into the #2 spot after the Game of the Century in 2011. He had a meltdown on social media ...

[quote]Wow. Tell me more[/quote] I did. If Tennessee finishes 7-5, that win looks better than it did a month ago. If Auburn upset Georgia, and Alabama beats Auburn three weeks from now, that's a win over a Top 10 team on the road. Oregon/Utah won't be able to claim a similar status. ...

[quote]Keep defending that Tennessee “rivalry” game bama. [/quote] Tennessee has a very real chance of finishing 7-5 on the regular season. If they beat Missouri that is exactly what is going to happen because Vanderbilt is trash. If Tennessee finishes the year 7-5, that becomes a better win ...
