Is there a scenario where we still back into the playoffs?

[spidermayin]

Looking at this rivalry week schedule, we need these teams to lose.
Tennessee, Texas A&M,BYU, and Miami
Whoever makes the SEC championship game, we need the lower ranked team to get completely thrashed?

Realistically, I know we're not up to par to win a championship, but that's all we have to hope for this last game.

Idk there probably is a scenario where we are in, but I do NOT want to make the playoffs. Give us some stupid bowl game so players can opt out and transfer and we can see what we are actually working with moving forward.

I refuse to be set up for another let down at the hands of the evil emperor of SINK(LANK). You could give that last spot to Vandy for all I care

That's a lot that needs to happen, but I'm in!

I think if

We beat Auburn
Texas beats TAMU
Clemson beats USCe
Miami or SMU beats Clemson in ACC Championship

we might slip in. A lotta ifs.

Anyone watching our performance against OU (along with the pitiful efforts against Tenn and Vandy) should know that we aren't deserving of a playoff spot.

Saturday's game was an indictment of every aspect of the football program as it currently exists.

Right now, the team is a joke...from the players and all the LANK nonsense to the coaching staff...a joke.

The good news is the lank clowns will out the door sooner rather than later.

I hope you're right...but why do you think so? Even if Milroe leaves, the business survives.

 

[davefrat]

Right now we might lose to all three services academies simply because they run the option and we can't stop a team with a running game more sophisticated than just handing the ball off to a back.

THIS

I've seen well enough of the Lank Crew and what they bring to the table with Playoff stakes on the line vs an inferior opponent.

I'm in 2025 mode.

 

[Cruloc]

Don't really care. If we sneak in we sneak in....we don't deserve it. I don't want to make the playoffs.

Ultimately I'm just ready for the lank group to be gone and see what we can do next year.

 

[BamaHoopsBoi]

I wouldn't want to be embarrassed by a good team in the playoffs at this point.

 

[squib]

I wouldn't think this team would advance, but as a fan, I would be much more excited to watch a playoff game where we might lose as opposed to a bowl game where we also might lose. Players play. Roll the ball out there and let's go.

And again, everyone thinking Milroe is gone after this year is just wishcasting. He might be gone; but he might be back as well. He apparently bullied Saban and DeBoer both this year. What makes you think he won't successfully do it again?

 

[Slowpoke Catracho]

I won’t watch the playoffs unless we are in it. Otherwise, I’m freeing up my holiday weekend schedule!

 

[PA Tide Fan]

I think Indiana will still be among the Top 12 so we could argue why not us? I think Vegas would make us a favorite against them in a game.

 

[81usaf92]

I just want to win the Iron Bowl and be done with this locker room. I rather know what we have coming back sooner than let a few players hold the team hostage any longer. If we are being perfectly honest… South Carolina deserves the space far more than us.

I have serious doubts that he comes back. We are on the verge of a Wr and RB mass exodus and I think his numbers are very limited in terms of actual support going forward. Deboer has more worries ahead than please maybe 2-3 players that want to keep up this nonsense

And that's it right there.....a mass exodus of skill position players because of the lack of actual QB play.

The lank and Milroe thing could cost us for years if that happens.

Best case scenario for me would be win the Auburn game....make a bowl and see who opts out, win with what we have, finish 10-3...continue the 10 win streak for one more year.

Just ready for lank to be gone, don't even want to watch the rest of the year, just get lank out of here and work for 2025.

Are you serious, Clark?

Are you serious, Clark?

Honestly, I know we're not a playoff team, but with the way this year has played out, anything can happen in these last two weeks. If the impossible happens and we make it to the playoffs, would rather watch us lose the first round of the playoffs than win/lose a meaningless bowl game. But, if we do go to the bowl game, I am not super mad about it with the way our team played this year. Maybe just maybe, Milroe will opt out and we'll get a full game with Ty at the helm.
