What happens when Auburn beats Alabama this week?


Nov 19, 2017, 1:40 PM

Alabama, if healthy, would probably win the Iron Bowl again.

The problem is, the Tide aren't healthy right now. They aren't close to healthy. They're down 5 starting LB's from the beginning of the season, and if you watched them against Miss State, it was pretty obvious there were some odd-looking dudes out there on the field pretending to be Alabama LB's. I haven't seen anybody run on them like that, like, ever, since Nick Saban became their coach. And they lose any more LB's Nick Saban is going to have to go out there and tackle people himself.

So I think Auburn - who can both throw and run effectively, and who can get you on roller skates if they start pushing you off the ball with that warp-speed HUNH Malzahn runs, and who also has the defense to severely corral Bama's running game - is probably going to win this game. And then they're likely going to stroll into the SEC Championship Game and gobsmack Georgia again.

The Barn is healthier than Alabama. They're just plain better than Georgia.

So what does that in turn do to the playoff picture?

Assuming Auburn, Clemson, Wisconsin, and Oklahoma win-out:

1. Clemson
2. Oklahoma
3. Auburn
4. Wisconsin

Hmm. Interesting. Perhaps even likely.

Would a 2-loss Auburn team truly be ranked over an unbeaten Wisconsin team, though? I don't think there's any real question that Auburn is better than Wisconsin, mind, I just don't know if the Committee will see it that way.

Even with a loss to Auburn, the committee isn't leaving Bama out.

I don't see that happening. (Although i agree that Auburn beats Bama)

I think if Wisconsin wins out Bama would bebout. They have a bad schedule and would have lost against their only big game competition. They won’t leave an undefeated Big champion out.

Pretty sure Bama is out simply because they won't be going to the SECCG if they lose to Auburn.
I know that tOSU was a fluke getting in without going to the B1G CG, I just don't see Bama doing it.
Recall the 1st CFP Rankings had Bama #2 because of their easy schedule? Without a trip to the SECCG they would be out.

They would have top 10 wins against UGA (2x - assuming UGA doesn't lose to GT) and Bama. They would also have another top 25 win against Miss St. Their two losses would come at the hands of #1 and a top 20 LSU team in road night games. It would also send a message to all of college football that you better at least try to schedule tough OOC games, or you will pay dearly for it. The committee had no problem dropping the undefeated defending national champion in FSU to #3 for the 2014 playoffs, so I don't think it's a stretch at all for Wisconsin to be at 4.

GT is OOC, GA is going to the SECCG.

I know that, but if UGA ##### the bed against GT they won't be in the final top 10.

I see what you mean. Figured you meant they (GA) wouldn't be going to the SECCG if they lost to GT. They are already in. But you are correct, a 2nd loss for GA and they would have to buy tickets to get to the CFP Semi-Finals.

My wife and I have been telling everybody we know for


Nov 19, 2017, 3:05 PM [ in reply to Re: What happens when Auburn beats Alabama this week? ]

more than 5 weeks that Auburn was going to be beat Georgia and Alabama. We both believed that Auburn was going to beat UGa by two TD's or more. You see, my wife is a former All-SEC Volleyball player at Auburn and she used to work for Clemson University. So, she loves her some college football, but Auburn first, of course.

That said, I told her that MSU needed to beat Alabama, otherwise Alabama was going to be this years Ohio State. Not playing in the conference title game, but still making the CFP.

I'm convinced barring an injury to Stidham or K. Johnson, Auburn wins by 10 points. This is not the Alabama team from last year, even before the injuries. Add those in, and this is an Auburn win, and likely trip to the CFP, along with Alabama. It would be the first time we have two teams from one conference and the first time there is a two loss team.


Clemson will beat SCAR and Miami. The Canes need 4 turnovers a game to win against a good team. They only had around 100 yards more total offense against ND in a 41-8 win, they were outgained by around 100 yards in the 44-28 win over UVa at home last night. The UVA turnovers last night were just plain gifts, nothing heroic by a Miami player. Without the turnovers, UVa wins that ballgame. It also would not shock me if Pitt beat ND, the game is at Pitt.

That leaves Oklahoma or Ohio State out, as Ohio State will definitely beat Wisconsin. My hope is that Oklahoma makes it in. I would love to see the Tigers pound Mayfield again.

Which will be interesting, because at the beginning of the year, while the pundits were calling the FSU-Bama game the pre-quel of the NC, the real pre-quel was played a week later in Death Valley.

In that scenario, which I agree is very likely, because I don't see Wisc-y or Lil' Sweet Mayfield beating either CU/AUB, you'll get Clemson-Auburn in Atlanta. Won't that be something?

But first, beat USuC.

LOL. Agree. And hilarious. Hadn't made the connection before.

This is the big question right now for the CFP. There is ZERO chance a banged up Bama gets left out if they lose to AUB and have 1-loss (see CLEM, Kelly Bryant). That means UGA/AUB goes to playoff as well as Bama, imo. This leaves 2 spots for CLEM, OKLA, WISC.

Probably what others have already said. Auburn would be in the play-off. By the way, I'm looking forward to Auburn running through the Bama defense like chit through a tin horn.

If the cfp makes an exception it would be for bamer. However, I'm really hard pressed to think they would leave two power five conferences out. Last year they put a non-conference winner in and we showed them the error of their ways.
