I think Alabama's path to the playoffs pretty much means if Bama gets in then there will be only one SEC team. It is kinda better for the conference as a whole for Bama to falter. I guess I'm kinda assuming Auburn beats Ole Miss this weekend though.
Week 1 College football playoff poll released

- Start date
I will be rooting for Stanford but they won't win. This Stanford team is not as good as others. Utah is the team you should be worried about.
I don't mind the Ducks but I will admit that Stanford's style is less jarring from a Bama fan's perspective. Stanford has some problems though. They just can't cash in yards for points.
Come on oregonbltzkrieg, you know us better than that. We would never wish that upon you. [emoji3]

It's not just the losses, it's also the wins. The Alabama win in the Ole Miss column trumps anything in anyone's column. Like WVU in Bama's. Or Michigan State and UCLA in Oregon's.
Show me a team below Ole Miss that deserves to be above Ole Miss.

The biggest problem most of us have with Oregon is a game they lost.
I was with a group of Alabama fans that cheered a guy in an Oregon shirt. But, Oregon proved that yet again, they're just not fit for the national stage. After that when Oregon fans popped up and ran their mouths about how good their team was, it became kind of insufferable. They're good against mediocre teams.
That chart puts things into perspective quite well and I think explains what might even be an overly simplistic approach by the committee, but it's hard to argue with too much.
Alabama and Auburn have the toughest upcoming games, and the winner will be propelled into the top 4 unless they have another loss before then. The Big 12 is done for unless there's only a single undefeated/one loss SEC team left, and the same goes for the Big 10, even giving Michigan State credit for a quality win in their championship game, they can't possibly have more than 3. Oregon could have up to 4, but they wouldn't be as good as what Alabama or Auburn could have. Kansas State could have 4 to, but the loss to Auburn kind of defers to the SEC West.
The other thing is they did kind of give Alabama the benefit of a doubt because of the quality of the loss and the manner in which they did it. If they really were dead set against Alabama, they could have said that TCU's win over Oklahoma was better, or Michigan State's win against Nebraska was better.
Nice chart.It's not just the losses, it's also the wins. The Alabama win in the Ole Miss column trumps anything in anyone's column. Like WVU in Bama's. Or Michigan State and UCLA in Oregon's.

I'm still not liking this committee though they make a good point on some things. It will all shake out in the end though. The end, is what I am most afraid of and not the beginning.
Exactly, but they have painted themselves into a corner if both the barn and the cowbells win out. Don't see any way they could avoid having both in, and don't see any way they could seed them 1-4 or 2-3 to avoid the potential rematch in the NCG. Bama needs to do them a big favor and beat both. :biggrin2:

Alabama because we have a better loss and we lost earlier in the season. Bama is playing better while Ole Miss is playing worse. 2 teams headed in opposite directions.It's not just the losses, it's also the wins. The Alabama win in the Ole Miss column trumps anything in anyone's column. Like WVU in Bama's. Or Michigan State and UCLA in Oregon's.

what if Bama beat Ole Miss then lost to either Arky or Tenn while Ole Miss won their next games while destroying LSU. Would you put Ole Miss ahead of Bama?
I have a feeling we will get jumped by TCU. They now have ranked wins over Oklahoma and West Virginia to our only one ranked win of West Virginia..

Come on, UCLA? Really, the gators would beat UCLA. HECK, THe gators could very easily be
7-1 . THey had LSU beaten, then had them tied in regulation and then gave that away. Won't even discuss the loss to MIZZOU. Teams have beaten them, no team has dominated them like in Tuscaloosa. Gators should at least be 5-3, if not for the canceled game.
A lot of metrics favor teams other than Ole Miss. One win does not make a season. Alabama can't play themselves, so we will never be able to trump that.
Can't believe this thread is still be argued.
