MBB: Bama Hoops vs Arkansas St. | TONIGHT Friday 11/8 @ 7p CT (SECN+/ESPN+) . Follow along in the game thread on the BB board!
I would have easily ranked TCU third last year. They only lost their championship game, which was an extra game that Ohio St. did not have to play. OSU also got beaten down on their home field by Michigan; whereas, TCU lost a very close game. I would have debated about the number four spot between OSU and Bama, and I really don't think either one deserved to be there last year, but they had to pick one of them because all of the other teams dropped like flies. It is clear that people have different opinions about last year, and that is just fine.
I think the point is that it was a two score game. Would it be better if people said two score game? Either way, they were very much in control at the end of the game.
Personally, I would prefer just "lost by 10 points." It's factual and specific. "Double digits" just sounds like it's intended to make the loss sound worse than it was.
I've always had the position that it's very problematic to replace coordinators. Some people seem to think you can change coordinators constantly with no adverse results. It causes a lot of issues. I brought that up over and over in the Hurts discussion and here as well since Alabama was breaking in not one, but two new coordinators.
Furthermore, this is a problem Saban consistently has to deal with because he gets poached constantly. I mean the one loss came to a coordinator that got poached, so the problem isn't bad hires really, it's his good hires keep getting hired away.
I guess you won't read this, but the point stands. It's incredibly difficult to replace coordinators and integrate the new ones seamlessly. That's why for instance the Alabama offense took some time to get going. It doesn't make the Alabama team a bad team, it just means they had some things that take time to overcome.

Given the fact that we play Oklahoma, Texas, and Georgia - among our other usual SEC foes - next year, I agree.
THAT is the full intention of the statement. I've said it prior, and I'll say it again. This committee has postured itself with their preferred games and that's what they'll get reasoning be damned!
The CFP criteria include not "incenting [sic ] margin of victory." Granted, this is with respect to common opponents, but that makes it nonsensical to weigh margin of victory against differing opponents (who, by definition, are of different quality). So if this is what they are saying, they are actually going against an explicit selection criterion...
Inserting criteria based on margin of victory over common opponents is a non-sensical. Oregon beat Texas Tech by 7 in September......Texas beat Texas Tech by 50 in November. You start doing that you might as well start doing hypotheticals like, how bad does November Bama beat September Bama. How bad does November Georgia beat September Washington.....you could go on and on.
good. i hope he keeps running his mouth
Why sweat it ? You can't change it. Enjoy what we have accomplished. Save your hair...I don’t have that much hair left to pull out over this.
Alabama has no chance to win this game.
Alabama isn't man enough to beat Georgia.
Georgia is the better team.
Kirby is the better coach.
Beck is the better QB.
Georgia will boat race Alabama.
Just putting it all together. Sure I missed something.

He didn’t even answer the question, what a joke this has turned into.
Since he is unemployed , I wonder if he’s paid by the REC to spread rat poison.
As we speak, the Itty Bitty Pity Committee is counting on and hoping for a Georgia win on Saturday. That's because they dread the decision they'll have to make if we beat them. To be perfectly honest, I can't really say that I blame them for feeling the stress.
But at the same time, I have zero sympathy because if they'd done the right thing all along, it would be a no-brainer with no worries about how they'll make the call.
