Alabama; In or Out?

So;
Assuming the 2 big favorites (Clemson and OU) win next week, they will be 1 and 2. If Wisconsin wins, they will be 3, and UGA/Auburn winner is 4. If Wisconsin loses, UGA/Auburn winner is #3. That means that the 4th spot is between Ohio State/Bama. I think it's very probable Bama gets left out in this scenario. I think they're better than Ohio State, but not sure the committee wants to set a precedent of allowing in a non-conference champ for the 2nd bid from a conference over a team that did win their conference.

Alabama desperately needs TCU to beat Oklahoma. They get in if that happens.
You're right that they could be up against Ohio State for the last spot if the Buckeyes win. -
Out
Nuff said on that -
Clemson, Wisconsin, Georgia, and TCU all win next week.RaceBannon said:Out
Nuff said on that
You gonna put in a 11-2 TCU team in over 11-1 Alabama? -
Fuck em
-
I'm good with Alabama out. Like I said, I think it would set a dangerous precedent of allowing 2 SEC teams in, in any given year.phineas said:Fuck em

Should be out ... will be in
-
they'll be in. they don't deserve it tho. at all
-
The best thing for college football would for them
to be out. Would get movement towards an 8 team
playoff like it should be. 8 teams, 5 conference champs,
3 wildcards, perfect. -
1 loss team should trump a 2 loss conference champion, all other things being equal (strength of schedule, etc.).

Nope. Until they expand to eight teams the committeeoregonblitzkrieg said:1 loss team should trump a 2 loss conference champion, all other things being equal (strength of schedule, etc.).
will value conference champs. Otherwise they delegitimize
the whole process. -
Same old shit every year. Biggest and loudest voices trying to keep their preseason pics alive. Until Conference Championships are mandatory to be in, it is all bullshit.
-
That’s the point. All other things don’t matter. Losers aren’t winners. Ever.oregonblitzkrieg said:1 loss team should trump a 2 loss conference champion, all other things being equal (strength of schedule, etc.).

Best thing for CFB will be for Bama to get in via some bullshit ESPN rationalization. Just like the rematch a few years back brought us the playoff, this will create the outrage to build in conference champs as a prerequisite and expand the playoff field to 8.
-
They will probably lobby their way in. Condo-lisa Lice is from Alabama - how convenient.
That said, I don't have a yuge problem with one loss teams beating out two loss teams like TOSU. -
Who gives a shit at this point. Just a glaring reminder of what Warshington wasted.
-
Why would they be in? Who'd they beat? Just shows how much this whole thing is bullshit and the rules don't apply to Alabama. For everybody else it's this giant investigation into their strength of schedule, good wins vs. bad losses, etc. For Alabama, it's just, "I know they lost, but c'mon, we still know they're the best, right?"
I didn't see this question asked about any other 1-loss team. -

The 2016 Ohio State Buckeyes -
If you're going to expand to 8 teams, reserve spots for all undefeated conference champions regardless of conference.
-
Wait. You want to reward winning?

It is actually quite simple, if it wasn't for ratings and money.
4 super conferences with 2 divisions.
4 mid-major conferences with 2 divisions.
Conference champions is first round ...
Notre Dame would never go for it.
Way too simple.

5dimes this AM has Bama in at -150, Bama out at +110....

If Ohio State wins, Alabama is in. Ohio State's losses to Iowa by 31 and home against OU by 15 are much worse than Alabama's loss to Auburn. Both have equal quality wins.

In. Wisconsin will be down 3 TD's by halftime. And Ohio State isn't taking Bamas spot in that scenario.

Except most years there are none and I don't think there will be any this year either, but sure.gifTierbsHsotBoobs said:If you're going to expand to 8 teams, reserve spots for all undefeated conference champions regardless of conference.

Ohio State is out
If Ohio State wins, they aren't hopping Alabama (Alabama has one competitive loss vs 2 blow out defeats one being at home), and if Oklahoma loses, Oklahoma isn't falling behind Ohio State after they curb stomped them at the Big House. -
