Link: Bama #4 in final AP poll

CrimsonChuck · Jan 13, 2015

I really thought that we would be #2 since we were close to OSU and Oregon was blown out in the end. But I guess it really doesn't matter. All that matters is who is number 1.

1. Ohio State
2. Oregon
3. TCU
4. Alabama

I'm also sure TCU drumming Ole Miss and us losing to Ole Miss probably had a lot to do with TCU jumping us.

They had to appease TCU don't you know. They will prolly stay #2 this coming season as a way of the ncaa apologizing to them for not having them at the big dance.

With 2 losses for both Oregon and Alabama I think we should have been ranked above Oregon since we played OSU much tougher than Oregon did.

RTR91 · Jan 13, 2015

Why should Oregon not be #2? They lost the championship game, which is the equivalent of finishing second.

Because we could have beaten Ohio State ... Oregon had no chance against the Buckeyes. I will give credit though to Oregon beating FSU by 39. It really should be:

#1 Ohio State
#2 TCU
#3 Alabama
#4 Oregon

Just because you beat a weak team to get to the NC game and then lose, doesn't automatically make you #2.

Then we should have been 3rd -- since TCU wasn't in the playoffs and we were. That was the equivalent of finishing 3rd

But we didn't beat Ohio State. We lost. Oregon won their game to play for the national title. They did their part. We didn't do ours.

I agree with that. I can see the argument that the playoff teams should be in the top four.

JustNeedMe81 · Jan 13, 2015

Interesting... I thought we would be no. 3.... Suprised to see FSU isnt in top 4...

When you get beat by 39 pts and play as poorly as they did (what six turnovers?). It would have been embarrassing to include them.

dvldog · Jan 13, 2015

Will the "committee" put out any final standings?

jef0071 · Jan 13, 2015

why would you rank tcu above us? tcu should be no higher than 4 or 5 imo

who cares!? second place is the first loser!

(I kid.... carry on with your discussion)

GreatDanish · Jan 13, 2015

Well, it is interesting that Oregon didn't drop, but we dropped three spots for the same thing - losing to Ohio State. But, I don't really care either way.

TrueCrimson7 · Jan 13, 2015

To me it kind of disrespects the CFP process to have a "final four" and NOT have those teams end up as the final four because three of those teams are going to lose their games. FSU did not look good, granted, but putting TCU above a team that lost by one touchdown to the champs kind of irks me. But that's just my 2 cents.

Al A Bama · Jan 13, 2015

I don't think Oregon deserves to be as high as #2! They looked REAL BAD last night.

If they had played in the SEC West this past year they would have at least 3 losses.

alwayshavebeen · Jan 13, 2015

Not that it matters but we should have been 2nd or 3rd at the very worse. The absolute whooping the ducks took last night, combined with the fact F$U was totally exposed as a weak acc team should have dropped them to about the #4 spot.

I'm looking at the whole. But honestly, I can't really say you're wrong

I wouldn't think too much on it. AP Poll is completely irrelevant now. That being said, is there going to be a final ranking from the Playoff committee?
