BTW one-loss Alabama absolutely deserves to be in the playoff, no matter what else happens.

DEpends...

Muffin, if literally anyone else with Alabama's schedule were in this position you wouldn't be saying that.

Nah. I don't give a shit about "conference champions." I'll take a one loss team whose only loss was on the road to a Top 5 opponent in a rivalry game over literally any other one-loss team.

Hurts takes an awful sack and then makes two awful throws.

Every part of Alabama fell apart late in the game. Kind of surprising to see this out of Alabama.
---

Like, if i'm doing rankings, I literally still have Alabama #1
---

Man. Can't see how we get in now. Whereas Bama win means we have a very good chance

1 loss Bama gets in over is for sure. Plus SEC champ. Plus Acc champ. Plus Oklahoma. Fuck. This hurts way more than the money I had on Alabama win

The ONLY way Bama should be left out would be....

Clemson
Oklahoma
Wisconsin...

THAT IS ABSOLUTELY IT!!!!!

OSU should be done. USC should be done. TCU should be done. Miami should be done (now with Bama losing)

I mean their best win is Mississippi State. The only team in contention with a worse schedule is Wisconsin, and they'll have to beat Ohio State along the way.
---

Alabama should absolutely get in over Oklahoma.

Nick Saban has never beaten an Auburn team that finished the season with 9 or more wins. The Tigers are currently 9-2. #IronBowl

#5

# 1 Georgia

#4 Wisconsin
# 5 Bama
# 6 OU
# 7 Miami
# 8 OSU
# 9 USC

I kinda agree... but it's never gonna happen.

Go home. You're drunk.

UGa should absolutely be #1.

Less losses than Auburn, LOL Clemson, Wisky still hasn't played anyone. With Miami losing Georgia should be #1.

Truly it doesn't matter cause whoever wins in Atlanta next week will be the #1 seed regardless of what happens. But if we're being honest Ga has the best resume in the country right now.

What can happen they won't be #1?

When the rankings come out Tuesday they are going to be either 2 and 3 or 3 and 4....

Either way, they will be the ONLY playoff team that has a top 3 (or even top FIVE) win next week.

Ohio Stare has 0 chance of getting in over Bama no matter what they do so yeah.

Clemson 1
Oklahoma 2
Wisconsin/SEC Champion 3
SEC Champion/Alabama 4

If Ohio State beats Wisconsin, and Oklahoma actually loses to TCU this time, all hell breaks loose. You're sitting there with 3 locks and Ohio State, Miami, Georgia, Notre Dame, TCU, and Penn State all with 2 losses.

You also might have 2 loss Pac 12 champion USC for the lulz.

Oklahoma beat Ohio State
Ohio State beat Penn State
TCU and Oklahoma beat each other
Georgia's only losses are to Auburn, with neither at home.
Miami beat Notre Dame, but these are the weakest two teams anyway.

I feel like it might still go down to Ohio State and Oklahoma, so does 2-loss Oklahoma still get in due to their head to head with Ohio State?
---

So let's play a game.

Get Ohio State in the Playoffs..

If you have OSU in
Without Bama you are disqualified and don't play, cause Bama is getting in over OSU unless they win by by 140 next week....

Get the Buckeyes to the Sugar/Rose bowl. Good luck.

Bama losing is the worst case scenario if you're Miami, Wisconsin, OU, or Clemson because they're probably getting in regardless of what happens, but now 2 SEC teams is very much in play.

Why is it bad for Wisconsin?

If Wisconsin wins they are in, that's just the end of that ball game...

OSU howver Bama losing was like a near guaranteed death blow....

Wisconsin is still behind all of those teams and I imagine they still will be, just with now Auburn leap frogging them. We'll have to see what a win over Ohio State is worth to the committee, I guess.

Georgia isn't leapfrogging Wisconsin or Oklahoma for beating up on a GT team that didn't even make a bowl game. Just stop.

They won't.... but they should.

They now officially have the best resume in America, and the only team close is Auburn.... whoever the fuck has the third best resume, is not even close to Georgia's resume.

you keep saying best resume and I'm just extremely confused on who exactly Georgia beat to have this great resume
---

MWC is just blindly trying to prop up Georgia because he thinks it improves Kentucky's bowl.
---

SSJBGenkiDama posted...

You literally had said they would.

Either that or you expect Clemson to lose tonight, and I know that's not true. But even then the "2 and 3" possibility still has them doing that with a Clemson loss.

Wisconsin, right now... today as we stand is #5....

Bama and Miami lost.

So they are at worst gonna be #3 if no one jumps them.

You think Wisconsin, who is undefeated, can win the Title next week at worst at #3, and somehow LOSE 2 spots for beating a top 10 team?

Wisconsin is in with a win. No way around that.

No I don't, and no I'm not.

We are Liberty or Music City now no matter what happens....

They SHOULD be #1 and 2. They'll be #2-4 (two of the spots in a row in some order).

But as I said it doesn't matter because the winner will one thousand percent be the #1 seed in the final rankings regardless of the rest of the country.

That's called Georgia leapfrogging Wisconsin and/or Oklahoma (with a Clemson win), which you turn around and say they won't!
---

I fully expect Alabama to stay ahead of Wisconsin. Miami will probably fall behind them, but theoretically, a win over Clemson should be worth more than a win over Ohio State, unless they lose to South Carolina.

Never said that.

I said "and no one leap frogs then" (as in a conditional in addition too) I'm not saying no one will, but if no one does they are at worst 3. still.... even if they do (they should and will)

Georgia and Auburn play each other..

My point is that Wisconsin no matter what happens, absolte worst case scenario will make the playoff still. (Assuming they win of course)

Remember 2014 when you were saying that the SEC was better than the ACC down the line and then GT kicked the crap out of Miss State?

You think there may be the slightest possibility you're overvaluing the SEC teams again now? Especially when you went most the season saying how bad the SEC East was.
---

Nah, Wisconsin's worst case scenario is still getting shut out entirely. They needed Bama to win out to avoid that.

The SEC East sucks.... I think we can both very much agree that Georgia however does not.

MWC, help me out here. Show me the scenario where the rankings come out next week that has Auburn #2, Georgia #3, and Georgia having not gotten ranked over Oklahoma or Wisconsin. Because these are all things you have said.

This was about OU.

Realistically it would be fair to put OU behind all 3 SEC teams, Clemson, Wisconsin, and I wouldn't even have an issue with Miami....but the committee won't do it because Mayfield is gonna win the Heissman

OU has a much better resume than Bama and Georgia (its not even close in Bama's case)

Which part was about OU? Because my main focus in my exchanges with you was where you've been putting Georgia.

But lol, Lamar Jackson just last year was on a #11 team before losing to Kentucky when their first loss was to Clemson. They don't give a shit about Heisman candidates.

No. The only actual good team you've beaten all year is OSU. (Ohio)

Had Houston not blasted UL the week before then UL was looking at beating us and getting in..... This team wasn't any good.

They were ranked like they were completely because of Jackson on the team.

which at the bare minimum is more than Bama has beaten

Eh, the Big XII is probably equal to the SEC West in terms of how good it is. Ohio State is a better win than Bama has, but Iowa State is also a worse loss.
