If Alabama is #1, they would likely get Dallas anyway.
Dec 2, 2015, 5:00 PM
|

They're closer to Dallas, for one thing. For another, #3 is likely to be OU. OU in Dallas is a road game for anyone outside of Texas. Iowa/MSU in Dallas is a home game for Bama.

Around Miami and all of Florida is where we recruit. I would rather we influence 100 around Florida than 1 in Texass where we hardly ever get 1 committed and actually sign on signing day!!!

a mediocre Usuc yet Alabama did the same against a mediocre Auburn team and the games were vertually identical with the only difference that Bama scored a late meaningless TD a the end and we gave up a meaningless TD at the end. Without those two meaningless scores, those games are exact duplicates IMO. Too much ESPN influence on the committee!!!

Beat they didn't even watch our game
Dec 2, 2015, 2:02 PM

I beat they just looked at the score. They probably thought it was closer than it actually was without realizing the last touchdown came with 1 second to go in the game and we just let them score so we could leave with a win. It is a rivalry game where anything can happen and we were 1 second away from a double digit win just like Alabama. Sure it wasn't our best game but the score doesn't really reflect how much we beat them. I beat the committee and the talking heads at ESPN who say we struggled against the coots didn't even watch the game.

We struggled with a 3-8 team that beat UNC ., No mention or rivalry game or any thing ,.,
But Alabama on the other hand played the big rivalry game with auburn ,., at auburn ,., hostile crowd took care of business ., didn't mention running henry 46 times ,..,
I don't even think Danny Ford ran no back 46 times ,., I cant remember ..,

Said the same thing last week. Funny how, Bama with no wins vs currently Top 10 teams,he's just pushing their record against teams with winning records. Guess those Goalpost have to move when the SEC doesn't measure up.
If Clemson beats UNCheat , a Top 10 team and Bama just beats Florida ,a Top 20 team, no movement should be expected.
Wonder how many of these revotes came about because Committee Chairman, Arkansas AD Jeff Long called for them ? LOL

Bama struggled against Auburn. In fact the Clemson/Scar and Bama/AU games were identical. The difference was that in our game it was Scar who scored the late garbage TD while it was Bama who scored the late TD in their game. Glad to see the committee doesn't let Fact interfere with their Logic.

to say Clemson is hurt by USUC beating UNCheat(in a game we didn't even play in) but last year they let Ohio State get an awful 1st game loss ignored (and it was actually them who got beat).They must apply SEC logic to the Big 10 as well. See what they say after we beat another Top Ten team this week and Bama still hasn't played one team that high.

I may be biased, but to me it's clear who should be #1.
Dec 2, 2015, 2:32 PM
|

1. We have TWO wins that are better than any win on Alabama's schedule.
2. We are 12-0 instead of 11-1
3. Alabama lost to a team that is worse than two teams that we beat.
What is in Alabama's favor?
1. The "eye test?" Which is horrifically subjective.
2. They have won more convincingly over the last half of the season.
3. They have played less "bad" teams than we have?
None of Alabama's advantages are as good as Clemson's.
The Nick Saban effect is huge.

By my count, we only scheduled two "bad" teams whereas Alabama scheduled three.
...but that only counts against you if they want it to.
My bet is that Alabama doesn't make it to the championship, whoever they play. Whoever is playing them is going to have 5-6 weeks of listening to how they are going to get blown out of the game and if there is anything that will motivate a good team to work more than that, I don't know what it is.

After all, our win will be against a top 10 opponent vs #18 gators...
But if we do drop after a win, then our Tigers will play with that early season chip on their shoulder which is worth 'one or two scores' easily!

I'd argue Clemson should still be ahead of Bama with a loss
Dec 2, 2015, 3:35 PM

to UNC. Both teams will have 1 loss. Clemson's will be to a higher ranked team, and Bama's was at home. Clemson will have 2 wins a good bit better than any of Bama's wins. Both will have 1 'coulda lost' to unranked team (Clemson vs Louisville, Bama vs Tenn). Bama has more wins over non-bad teams. That's their only advantage. That doesn't make up for the big disparity in top notch wins and the worse loss. Beat UNC and it doesn't matter, but this committee is getting annoying with their Bama lovefest.

The issue here is UNC's record. If they had 2 to 3 losses we would be in much better shape. It would be tough to justify putting us in over UNC with the head to head win and same record.
If the 2 to 3 loss scenario was there. Then there would be a major argument that we should be in regardless of losing in the ACCCG. We really needed State to win last week.

Here's what I see happening. We win and Bama wins. The winner of Mich State and Iowa will jump Oklahoma. That way Bama will play a B1G team that it actually has a chance to beat. Bama cant beat a good spread team and the committee knows that. So if they would have moved them to #1 this week it would force them to keep B1G winner at #4 and it would be way to obvious that they are doing this. The know that Bama is soft against a spread team and both teams in the B1G are more physical and that plays into Bama's hands. Go Tigers Beat the Holes and bring on Oklahoma in the Orange Bowl.

This looks exactly like posts I was making last year as a Florida State fan. And last year they were spot on, except that Bama wasn't able to beat the B1G team.
This new committee thing is much more of a farce than the BCS ever was. Bama should be #5 at best and there should be no doubt for anyone with a brain that Clemson is #1 right now. Beat UNC and you EARNED the right to pick your bowl game. Whether or not you get that opportunity remains to be seen. It apparently helps your final ranking to lose to 1 middle tier SEC team, and you wont have that chance.

So they were getting ready to bump a 12-0 team that was #1 4 weeks in a row to move up a 11-1 Alabama team. That until the 4th quarter when they kept Henry in to get that last touchdown to make it a 12 point game. When they were up only 5. Yea makes sense Committee.

Yeah but that win over an awesome Auburn team was impressive right? NOT!

They're dinging us for a "weak" victory against SCar, but

Bama gets a pass for struggling against a terrible Auburn team? They didn't wrap that victory up until the late 4th quarter. For crying out loud they didn't even score a touchdown until the late 3rd quarter. Why is that so much better a victory than one over a nearly equally-horrible SCar team?
Playoff committee is just as SEC biased as the rest of the world, it would seem. I'm losing faith in that system and it's only in its second year.

Alabama has beaten no one in the top 25?

We have beaten two in the top ten and if we win Saturday it will be three. Playoff committee is alabama supporters. You can't have an intelligent conversation in comparing the two school's schedules. Just can't.
GO TIGERS!!!!
