I didn't say Alabama deserves to be in, just that they probably would be. It's Bama. The committee loves them.Why would 11-1 non conference champion Alabama with a loss to 2 loss Auburn get in over 12-1 non conference champion Wisconsin with a loss to 2 loss big ten champion Ohio State? Wisconsin and Alabama had nearly identical strength of schedules going into this week, and Wisconsin added an extra win. Wisconsin and Alabama are also similar on game control, and strength of records.
Yes they are...at least to people that are not blind homers like you and Great Dayne.These situations are not comparable.
I agree but the committee didn't agree with that last year. It is the buckeye syndrome.I would support this.
Those teams that make their conference championship game are also taking the risk of another loss, player injuries, etc. When you think about it, it’s not really fair for a team to be in the playoffs after 12 games when the others have played 13.
Yeah, but you aren't a blind homer like some of your Buckeye brethren.I said last year I was okay with OSU being left out. OSU beat 3 teams Top 10 teams and won their last game. Not saying that it's Bama's fault but teams on their schedule have played badly and they lost their last game. But Alabama has history on it's side.
I don't think OSU gets in with a win. One of their 2 losses was a blowout and the other was at home. Losing to Oklahoma is forgivable, but not both. If Ok wins, then bama gets in over OSU
So bama doesn't have to play-in? Seems about right if they made an 8-team playoff
I think the only fan base that want's an 8 team playoff right now is, Alabama. Good season, but sit the fuck down...your done.
LOL I stated facts, old man. There's nothing homer about stating the fact that 3 top 10 wins > 1 top 20 win. Do you understand that?Yes they are...at least to people that are not blind homers like you and Great Dayne.
Fact, 11-1...same as tOSU in 2016.
Fact, 2nd in division...same as tOSU in 2016.
Fact, Bama is not physically beat up after the Auburn game. Got beat yes. Not physically whipped.
Auburn 2017 > Penn State 2016...thus better loss.
Only things you got correct is Aubie won by two scores and Bama's best win is against a LSU team that ain't all that great. That's all you got correct looking through your homer glasses.
Now that's funny!There's nothing homer
thisEveryone that wants a 8 team playoff. Will be the same Mother Fuckers that will want a 12 team playoff in another 3 years. Then 16, and on and on.
That's not how it works now. They don't look at the current rankings and then move people around based on the current week's results.
Said earlier, if there were 8 this year I'd take 5-8 against 1-4 in the final poll and I'd like the chances of 5-8 to win two of four games. IMHO there is that little separation this year.I'd be for a 8 team playoff, given all the competition this year I think the push may be on for that.
