Alabama or UCF?

[MAIZEandBLUE09]

I don't know what the beat is in our own conference...but we just beat our conference champion...for the National Championship. How could Georgia be the best team in our conference if they never played us...until last night?

Because you failed to be better than Auburn and because of that, were not in the title game. Auburn, mind you, a team that got beat by the real national champs -- UCF.

So? We also weren't the top seeded SEC team as a result.

And aren't the national champs as a result.

Unable to accept reality as usual.

Same with the AAC and 1998!

 

[TheDayMan]

I voted for UCF.

So, winning your conference championship game is a requirement...who knew...somebody better tell the committee, they doing it all wrong.

Auburn beat Bama...UCF beat Auburn....

Gotta count for something.

LSU and Clemson also beat Auburn, Alabama also beat Clemson and LSU

Gotta count for something, right?

Yeah it's weird, it's like people forget that the committee has put 2 teams in that didn't win their conference. Alabama wasn't even the first, but now its a problem

No, because Auburn beat Bama head to head.

It's not a requirement to get an invitation. Being invited to the championship instead of qualifying is the issue some fans have.

 

[bamafan4evr12]

No, because Auburn beat Bama head to head.

And UCF didn't beat Alabama

 

[RobBase]

And UCF didn't beat Alabama

And Alabama didn't beat UCF. What's the point?

But your "qualifiers" are bullshit and meaningless.

Why the hell should your conference results have meaning on the national stage? You can lose every single OOC game, lose multiple conference games and still in cases somehow manage to win your conference championship.

 

[BigRedMoe]

An asterisk fer errbody!!!!

 

[bamafan4evr12]

And Alabama didn't beat UCF. What's the point?

The point is Alabama won the CFP. UCF won the Peach bowl.

Give me an example of such a team.

Because in the current format, you can fail to qualify for your own conference title game but still get an invite from the committee to play for the national title. Some fans think that's bullshit.

UCF wasn't invited to the CFP. Can't win a game you weren't invited to.

 

[bamafan4evr12]

UCF wasn't invited to the CFP. Can't win a game you weren't invited to.

Exactly. So everything else is speculation. Facts are Alabama, national champions. UCF, Peach Bowl champions.
