Title: No way! Not going to happen? Post by: tshadow on November 22, 2021, 10:15:36 EST Particularly if Ugly beats Bama in the secc... They have to fall out of the payoff picture with two losses. Right?
Title: Re: No way! Not going to happen? Post by: SmokeyJoe on November 22, 2021, 11:11:41 EST You would think! :thumbup:

They might give bammer every benefit of the doubt to get them in (as usual). But the optics are pretty ugly if Bama takes the #4 spot and Ugly is #1... The entire CFW (college football world) would scream bloody murder. The money people get away with whiping Bama's @$$ but that would be too obvious to ignore. Title: Re: No way! Not going to happen? Post by: BanditVol on November 23, 2021, 06:05:19 EST They absolutely should, but the SEC network is pushing hard for it. Particularly saban's PAL Finebaum. Its sickening to watch him constantly pimp bama for the second playoff spot for the SEC.

Particularly saban's PAL Finebaum. Its sickening to watch him constantly pimp bama for the second playoff spot for the SEC. (PAL = Personal Ass Licker) Finebaum isn't wrong though. It's easy to say that a 1-loss team should get in ahead of a 2-loss team. But is the goal truly to put the best 4 teams in CFB in the playoff? If so, Alabama is one of those 4. I mean, if we all know that Alabama would whip Notre Dame or Oklahoma State, what's the real argument for not putting them in the playoff and having two legitimate semifinal games vs. leaving them out "because they have 2 losses" and having a 1 vs. 4 blowout in the semifinal? That's happened too many times. Title: Re: No way! Not going to happen? Post by: tshadow on November 23, 2021, 11:20:25 EST When I started this thread... it was in response to a media speculator prognosticating a Bama v Ugly rematch in the semi-final... That stretches credulity.

That's happened too many times. Bama lost to a three loss Texas A&M team and nearly lost to Arkansas and a terrible LSU team at home. If Bo Nix was healthy they might very well be capable of losing to Auburn today but I think with Bo out they lose. Uga might very well blow them out. They should not be in the playoffs with two losses, period, dot. Besides the WLs, its worth pointing outbthat there is significant bama fatigue and the optics of a bama uga rematch are horrible. I could perhaps throw in the politics of spreading the money around, but surprisingly yhos has not seemed to matter in past selections, or less than one would expect. Title: Re: No way!
