No way tcu is better than Bama with a healthy Bryce Young. If the committee's job is to get the best 4 teams, they have to put Alabama over tcu.

[DzynKingRTR]

Why though?

TCU lost by 3 in OT at a neutral site.

tOSU is the ONLY team that could jump them but also lost their last game...at home...by 3 TDs

TCU was locked at 3 unless they got blown out.

Neutral site in texas (what does the T in tcu stand for again?)
lost to a 3 loss team starting their back-up QB

If the refs actually had counted the safety, would the game have actually gone to OT. The replay officals changed the game significantly.

 

[bamaga]

Because they were DESTROYED by Utah and it was loss #2

Yeah, with a QB on one leg and one hand. I guess losing to a midtier Kstate is better. I don’t argue USC should be penalized, and I wouldn’t even argue TCU in the playoffs, but how can you lose to KState and stay #3?

 

[denver]

I don’t know about that. Ohio state was blown out and TCU lost in overtime in the conference championship.

True...but by putting in 2 B10 teams they are saying that the conference is strong ( its not)...so OSU should be #3....better than TCU's loss...but thats applying logic, which is irrelevant in the committees mind

 

[tusks_n_raider]

We will have a chance to prove the narrative somewhat wrong if we can crush K state in the sugar bowl and if TCU gets destroyed by Michigan.

Yep

On the bright side a few weeks ago I thought Alabama could finish no higher than 5th

But depending on how the CFBP goes they could finish 3rd or 4th if they are motivated to prove people wrong.

I'm hoping they will dig deep and be fired up to beat K State ala Mich St 2010 style.

that kind of motivation never worked on this team

apparently losing doesn't make you drop at all.

Oh come on.... it was a neutral site with split tickets.

K States 'Back-up' is BETTER than the previous starter.

I don't even get why this bothers you.

Don't you HATE UGA?

tOSU is the MUCH tougher game than them getting TCU in the semis.

Mich gets TCU and will be more rested for the NCG

You should be happy about this.

Not since 2010.

Actually, between the portal and sit-outs, I’ll be surprised if we have 60 scholarship players in the Bowl game.

Also hearing they’ve asked about potentially the Orange as players would rather play Clemson.

With both teams being purple teams, I could not tell if it was actually 50/50

I have not watched many K-State games, but looking at stats the QBs appear to be pretty equal in stats

It bothers me because losing should matter and it does except when it doesn't.

Yes, I hate uga

I don't think michigan has it easier than uga. Yes michigan trucked ohio state the last time they played, but we did that to uga last year too. Beating a team twice is very hard. I realize utah did it, but the first game was close and the second wasn't.

Happy that uga will face a team that got blown out in its last game? uga would beat tcu by 30-40. I think tcu/michigan will be closer than most think.

 

[bamacpa]

I tell you who should be mad right now...Clemson fans. If Dabo had pulled the trigger on the QB switch weeks ago, Clemson is in the playoff. His loyalty to DJ cost them big time.

 

[Con]

I may be crazy, but I think Michigan beats Georgia. It's hard to repeat.

I think it could happen. Georgia gave up a lot of yards to LSU yesterday. If LSU scores a couple of more times in the red zone we may have seen the Bulldogs licking their wounds.

Bummer.

 

[99ALUM]

The motivation should be that our coaches don’t get out coached by a sweeter vest wearing coach with a fake accent and not even a full college roster. That should be Bama’s motivation. Don’t vomit the bed against teams you should beat.

 

[GrayTide]

Clemson replaced its starting QB and he lit up UNC in the ACC Championship Game. Either one will give us all we want, especially if Bryce and others skip the bowl game.

 

[crimsonaudio]

To avoid the rematch. Rigged

And to make sure Duggan wasn't literally killed on live TV against UGA.

As much as I'd like to laugh and throw stones at Karen over this I can't - it feels like we're in the same boat...

*sigh*

 

[bamamc1]

Well, if we manage the clock in regulation at UT we win.

If we don’t wet the bed on D in overtime at LSU we win.

We should’ve taken care of business. Period.

And we simply didn`t. GO BUCKS!!!

 

[TriCountyTider]

Not to be a Debbie downer, but the fire was supposed to be hot after last year, instead we got “anxiety” problems.

Well, not to be a sunshine pumper but, if the necessary changes were made at certain coaching positions at the end of last year's playoff we probably have a fire that is still burning rather than having to be rekindled. But, I digress.
