About this UGA/Bammer game
Nov 26, 2018, 2:07 PM

For the crowd who thinks Bama is in regardless of a loss and are therefore cheering for UGA to win.... what makes you think they would automatically drop Bama to #4 if they lose? The only argument would be that they're undeniably better than Ohio St/Okie via the eye test if they're keeping them out right? Well are they not undeniably better than Notre Dame too?
"The committee doesn't try to avoid regular-season rematches in the semifinals. It's No. 1 vs. No. 4, and No. 2 vs. No. 3. The committee will, however, try to avoid rematches in the other New Year's Six bowls." - Quote from ESPN about the selection process.
1. Clemson 2. UGA 3. Bammer 4. ND
Also, this.... https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/2018-college-football-predictions/
Their algorithm could be absolute trash, but this thing is pretty confident in Bama not getting in with a loss.
Who knows. It'll be a fun selection show for sure.

Alabama if smart will play it exactly like this. (Because they can seemingly score points at will) this one will be kept close regardless. If Bama "takes" a 3, 7, or even 10 point loss in my opinion they are in. Rankings as follows
1. Clemson
2. ND
3. UGA
4. Bama
In my opinion every chance possible will be given to create an Alabama Notre Dame Final.

Very possible... and I have no clue what the committee "wants." But if we're talking money, I'm not sure why the TV networks would want a Bama/ND final. Channels would be changed by the end of the 1st quarter.

IMO, there is no way the CFP Committee can justify leaving out a one loss conference Champion like Ohio State or Oklahoma for a one loss team that did not win its conference even if that team is Bama.
If Bama loses, and Clemson, OU and OSU all win, the final four will be;
1 - Clemson
2 - Georgia
3 - Notre Dame
4 - Oklahoma/Ohio State
All that said, I don't see UGa beating Bama.

Can UGA’s front 4 get too Tua on a consistent bases? That’s the key on “D”. Can Bama contain UGA’s run game?
can’t wait to see this game, should be a good one

We would be playing Bama again in the 1-4.

Sure, that's a possibility... but you have to make a lot of assumptions based on no facts to get to that conclusion right now.

DO you guys really think the committee will leave Alabama out?
First of all I don’t think Bsma loses. Even with a loss I believe the committee will devise a strategy to get them in the top 4.
Just my opinion.

No, I'm not putting money on Bama losing this weekend.
But if they do - the committee is plenty justified to leave them out in favor of OK or Ohio St with the same record + a conference championship.... they would also have justification to put them #3 over ND.

Oklahoma has a lot of pull bit not as much as ohio st.
No1 has as much pull as bama and ND.
Bama and ND are in...period. nothing can stop that now.
disney will spend this week trying to tell you different to get you to tune into their last 2 "who's in" shows, but the die is cast.
the last 2 spots ate still up for grabs.

The Differences Are.....

That ND is undefeated this year (taking up a spot) and Ohio St. has 1 loss this year... 2018 Ohio St. resume is much more comparable to 2017 Oklahoma (1 loss conference champion) then they are to 2017 Ohio St. (2 losses).... Last year, Oklahoma was ranked 2 going into the playoffs and Bama was behind them, ranked 4th.
Of course this isn't a straight comparison, because Bama is actually playing in the conference championship this year. However, last years situation is completely different than this years.

If Bama loses they’re still in. They would have the same record as OU and OSU but with a much better loss.
