If Auburn beats UGA, UGA doesn’t get in with 2 losses.
I knew I would trigger some people with my post but at least understand it. I was in no way saying Saban was equal to Richt just that he was "going through" what Richt was when he was in Georgia. Saban is the best but he gets outcoached sometimes. I dont mind taking a beating
You want your loss to be to a team very highly regarded by the committee. Anything that weakens them, weakens your case.
I really doubt both Bama and Lsu get in with neither one winning their conference. One might and that would be Lsu since they beat Bama. At this point, Lsu needs to win out unless you think they lose 2 of the next 3 which I doubt.
ILB isn’t the entire reason this defense has struggled. There are 9 other guys on the field. Of course, you’ll never admit that you’re wrong about that.
The problem is this, UGA is like Alabama in which they are only great when they have something to play for. They are rarely good at playing spoiler. Point is if UGA losing to Auburn and they likely phone it in.
Actually I’m pulling for A&M to blast LSU and then have LSU lose to UGA because that takes them out completely. That won’t hurt us. All the other one loss teams have worse losses regardless of how LSU finishes. OU does, UGA does, Oregon does.
In 2017 you played some great teams, several in the top 4, and your defense was amazing. You are wrong. So is Jess.
We’ve absolutely been lit up consistently by elite teams in the last 2-3 years. We’ve won a lot of those games still, but it’s been a few years since we’ve been elite defensively against elite competition.
Just to point out in Clemsons games before us last year not in order Duke, ND, Boston College all held Clemson right at 30 points. Clemson passed all over us for 44. Our D's secondary was better than at least Duke maybe BC. This year MS state held LSU to 36 and Aub held them to 23 then we should be able to hold them below 30. It seems justified to question if Saban should revamp the D like he did the offense. If everyone wants to stay the same and not change anything and believe we have the greatest D of all time and it cant get better, well that doesn't seem like Saban's philosophy.
I definitely agree with this scenario. If it plays out like this I could definitely see the Sooners getting in over us not sure about the Ducks it would be a toss up on that one.
I only watched about 10 minutes of that game last night (I was still upset we lost our game), and I was hoping OU would lose. They very easily could have. Whatever scenario works to get BAMA in the 4th spot, I am all for it.
I won't say we are without problems, but I will point out that fact that these teams don't put out the same effort in every game. One thing you can absolutely bank on is that they will be primed and ready to play us. Clemson and LSU both had a ton to prove against us. They were out for blood. They played with a seething hot rage that we simply could not match. It's human nature.
