Let the Madness begin - How Bama makes it to the playoffs…..

Objective computer numbers made Oklahoma #1 in 2003 after Kansas State blew them back to Oz, too.

The computer only sees what humans program it to see.

2003 computers. Those were before Saban. . They were using AOL dial up. Might have well have used an Abacus.

For anyone saying that we don't "deserve" to be there because of the way we're playing, I challenge you to dig back on this board to last season, and see the criticisms of the offensive line. Then when we took on Georgia in the SECCG and won, Bryce had all day to stand back there and pick his target.

If we make it in, I believe this team will show up.

At this point, the only criteria the committee should look at, is...Which team can win 10 games with Golding and O'Brien as coordinators?

 

[CajunCrimson]

The facts

how Many losses you have matters
Who you lose to matters
When you lose matters
Where you lose matters
How you lose matters.

computer numbers matter
Eye test matters
SOS matters
Common opponents matter

Vegas odds matter
Ratings matter
Rankings matter
Conference strength matters
Conference championship matters
Brand name matters

It’s almost time for the show to go on. Either way, it’s great to be a Bama fan!

 

[CajunCrimson]

In all honesty. We likely don’t make it. Because we worry as a society too much about feelings.

in The past two weeks. 3,4,5,6,8 all lost. When crunch time mattered most. They ALL lost. When it was 100% in their control. They lost.

how we get in. But we likely won’t.

fingers crossed.

Exactly! Did they cave to the pressure? I am loving this. It is making selection Sunday much more interesting.

Fowler needs to stop talking.

I hear you but this would be my counter...

Bama lost to Tenn and our defense the entire game and at the end was as tough as a wet paper bag.

But hey 1 close loss like that is probably forgivable.

But then in crunch time when it mattered most and when Alabama STILL had destiny 100% in their control..

They THREW UP all over themselves to an ultimately mediocre LSU team and at the very end the defense was again as tough as a wet paper bag.

We messed up.... had a 2nd chance... and MESSED UP AGAIN.

It's not about feelings.... we didn't get it done... TWICE.

Who is the better team?

 

[DrollTide]

In my not-very-informed or important opinion, I'm coming around to us having a shot at this.

 

[tusks_n_raider]

Who is the better team?

Both TCU and tOSU imo

Golding and BoB are still our COs so I think that favors both TCU and tOSU

We would beat both by 2-3 scores. Saban with a month? Yep.

The Michigan players dancing in the background reminds me too much of Mama in The Waterboy.

 

[AlexanderFan]

I'm not gonna sweat it - Bama had the chance to punch their own ticket and didn't make it happen. So here we are.

That said, (obviously) I hope Bama makes the CFP.

Right now I'm just having fun.

Now I’m concerned about establishing a precedent of a team losing and not falling. Especially just to spite Alabama. Even worse an average team like TCU.

 

[tusks_n_raider]

We might would win but what makes you think we could beat either by 2-3 scores?

Duggan and Stroud would FEAST against Golding.

CNS has been completely fine all year with Golding dropping 8 against QB's who have scrambling abilities and Duggan would run HOG WILD

CNS has been competely fine all year with Golding vacating the Middle of the field and Blitzing #10 right up the middle with the OLB's in Pass D and Safeties on WRs... Stroud and his NFL Caliber WRs would go NUTS.

You are basically counting on BoBs gameplan to work from the start (because he won't adjust) AND it be good enough to outscore TCU or tOSU

I mean that could happen...but it's not likely...and not by 2-3 scores

 

[CajunCrimson]

Was a helluva ride

 

[Elefantman]

TCU = UM cannon fodder

 

[BamaBoySince89]

Funny how the CFP chairman said it was important to get the “top 4 teams” and not the 4 best teams.

Wording means everything
