I agree with you. While we were not perfect that was an offense that should have won a N.C per our standards.

So you believe "style points" will not be a factor for any of the selection committee members?
No, I don't think the style points will be a factor, because the committee will be looking at the strength of the schedule and the quality of the game. Tha's more important than a fancy offense.
I agree. But if multiple teams have similar records, never say never when it comes to the members of a cabal casting their votes.
You realize that we probably would have made the playoff last year even after the IB, right? No one cares in December if you had a sluggish game or two in September.
Its not how you start, it's how you finish.
Assuming a playoff existed for the 2013 season, how would you have voted since our finish was a loss?
@AaronSuttles First impression of the freshmen tonight: Josh Fraizer looks huge. I doubt he's 330 pounds, but he's big and not sloppy at all.
I think this is a concern people have with the committee though. We were ranked #3 in the BCS but that's not a 100% guarantee that the committee would have made us the #3 seed especially when that would have resulted in a direct rematch with a #2 seed Auburn.
They just might punish a team severely for a late loss when they Seed a Top 4. I could definitely see a scenario where a #3 or #4 ranked final poll team gets left out when they were #1 or #2 before suffering a final game loss. Kind of how the loser of the SECCG usually gets punished ala UGA in 2012 when Fla jumped them but were not the division winner in the East.
Style points could very well matter. It seems to hurt us anyway when we let off the gas in games. A&M made a big points run on us last year when we momentary eased up and the Auburn thing...well that happened after 21-7 late. It's getting to where you HAVE to just about clobber teams into submission to safely win and impress.
FSU, AU, Bama then Michigan State. That's how the BCS, AP and Coaches had everyone ranked and I agree. What say you?
Well, since we finished with a whimper (your standard), I couldn't condone a rematch.
Team Coker has done one day of practice. Team Sims has done five years in "the process".
Blake Sims will be our starting QB against West Virginia.
If not, I will be, not only surprised, but extremely disappointed.

3 of those years BS was playing running back. Coker has more experience at QB than BS does. Sometimes you talk like we just found Coker outside a Walmart or something. Read what Jimbo and other highly respected NFL scouts have said about JC and his throwing ability. Its not something people on this board are just making up. Conversely, I haven't seen anyone say anything positive publicly about BS ability to play QB, except CNS which is expected. For some reason you seem emotionally invested into BS, which is kind of odd.

And he should start because ? Come on! Coker should be our starting quarterback because...he's done what?
C'mon. Answer the question.

Neither have "done" anything. This is about the 10th time we've gone through this diatribe. I'm talking about what highly respected college coaches, NFL coaches, and NFL scouts have had to say about JC throwing ability and overall physical ability. If you are just going to base your opinion on what either of them has "done" then maybe don't post about this topic until there is tangible evidence. I've seen enough of BS from A-day. That disaster was enough for me. So answer my question. Why should a career backup running back be the starting QB at Alabama?
That's fine, but it's obviously very much a minority opinion. Who would have been your 4?
