The barn is not going to play OM the same way they play Alabama.
Bama getting no respect

I'm honestly still trying to understand how that debacle yesterday even happened. People expect us to be moved up after that? All year, our coaches have been able to get it together at halftime, but yesterday we scored exactly three points all second half except for the TD at the end. It was so bad, I had to go outside and take a walk in the cold air to get my mind off of it, and I walked back in and Auburn is still running on our defense.
I am only offering this post here to say that if Bama shows up ready and prepared and gives its best game of the season to Georgia, I won't even care if we lose as long as we didn't repeat that performance from yesterday. If they beat UGA and don't get in because others remain undefeated, well, it is what it is.

True, but that margin is very small. And the season is not over yet.
In fairness though, Gol*ing had several years here. Steele is in his first year with this team. If fact, this is the first season Saban has had to replace both coordinators at the same time with a person who was not on the staff the previous season.
I struggle when fans can’t evaluate games beyond some basic expectation set by only them
Here's a good question. With this incompetent committee, If we beat Georgia in the SEC Championship Game, will they slide the Bulldogs to 4 and leave us out...LOL! 
Every team that loses a game automatically gets ranked ahead of Bama. We lost to Texas after all, and per the committee, that’s all that matters.Here's a good question.

I’m gonna be real honest. If I wasn’t a Bama fan I wouldnt think we deserved to be any higher than we are either. We looked like poop the first half of the season and our quality wins weren’t blowouts and struggling with a&m, tenn, and auburn doesn’t exactly look great either. The eye test component is eating our lunch here. And to be frank it should. We haven’t had a single game without major lapses somewhere. Now if we beat uga then we can talk resume but we haven’t done ourselves any favors.
I mean at a certain point it doesn’t matter, and I am confident in saying you would agree it doesn’t matter. Cases such as James Madison (until last weekend), UCF a couple years ago, etc. The question is merely, do the conference schedules of the main conferences support the argument for a “legit†undefeated season, or not.
I think in general the conferences outside the SEC and BIG10 are pretty weak, but at the same time, in this particular season, the SEC hasn’t been world beaters either. So I would agree with you and lean towards ranking an undefeated team from a main conference over Bama right now.
I was only including P5 teams. As Brad has said a few times, with rare exceptions (Cincy 2 years ago with NFL talent all over their roster) those other teams are not even playing the same sport.
The same could be said about UW. They looked AWFUL in a few games this year.
I agree that they have looked bad since the Oregon win but for one they are undefeated with a win over a top 10 team and two I think anytime you’re asked about what you’ve done and your first instinct is to detract from competitors….oh boy you’re gonna be in trouble. We need a feather in our cap in the worst way
My biggest complaint is the total inconsistency. Last year it was best resume. This year it’s the best on the eye test. It’s just annoying is all.
I could see that very well happening. So much has to go on above us for us to make it IMO. We`re still at 8th with only Championship Saturday left to go.Here's a good question. With this incompetent committee, If we beat Georgia in the SEC Championship Game, will they slide the Bulldogs to 4 and leave us out...LOL!
After the IB, I swear if I`m Kirby Smart I run the ball EVERY play until we prove we can stop it. Especially the first time I have the ball.
Couple things:
1- Sleaze is known for drawing up tricky plays to defend. I don't have to respect him as a man (I do not) to respect his coaching ability. He's good at getting yards.
2- Smart isn't dumb enough to game plan over one game. That's not championship-caliber prep.
3- You'll never hear a peep about this, but I'd guess Bama spent a good bit of time working on UGA last week. The staff likely knew Bama could play at about 80% and beat this abuurn team, and that explains what we saw.
Were I betting man I'd drop a sizable chunk that Bama looks like an NC contender vs UGA this weekend.
I get it but UGA ain't gonna run the same offense as AU and won't use the same motions on offense as AU does and we match up better w/UGA than AU {scheme wise} so don't compare apples to oranges.
Correct!
And Freeze had been scheming and practicing for weeks, if not months, ramping up to the Iron Bowl. This is a huge part of the reason he loses games he shouldn't and ends up being competitive in games he appears to have little chance. And my guess is he pretty much did the same in preparation for UGA and much of that translated to last Saturday.
