Vanderbilt @ Alabama Saturday 3:30 Eastern on ABC

[BreatheUT]

Vandy will have to onside kick if they score. You take the FG if it's there.

The touchdown before halftime Alabama got looms large.

Wow, watching Bama celebrate like they just won the SEC when beating Vandy is pretty sad

Best possible outcome for us. Bama looks like $hit and Vandy doesn’t jump us in the polls with a win..

The polls are irrelevant. The polls don’t pick playoff teams. Who gives a sh!t about the polls.

 

[GhostVol]

Well that worked....

 

[BreatheUT]

Alabama just got their 1st sack in a must pass situation.

 

[Proud Army Wife]

He had green grass to run.

Absolutely sad. Not impressed at all. We have a realistic shot at winning in Tuscaloosa.

 

[BreatheUT]

The gumps got some cute girls in the crowd.

 

[CPVOL]

Eventually, you have to sack up and play somebody. Regardless of how much McElroy loves you.

Aguilar>>>>>>>>>>>Pavia and it isn’t close

 

[UTK]

…Pavia holds this Vanderbilt team back lol

 

[Wezcoast]

Yessss .... let those Bama fans get their confidence back. Would be amazing to go down there and crush their hopes and dreams.

 

[Zues1]

Sure is fun seeing Carmen sandiego on the sidelines with his helmet in hand. Lol

 

[VolFreakJosh]

Pavia talked all that trash and played like sh*t

The polls are irrelevant. The polls don’t pick playoff teams. Who gives a sh!t about the polls.

So, the polls have no influence on the committee?

Anchor down!!

Not at all. The committee ranks the teams. Not the polls. The polls are a dying thing.

They do tend to reflect an initial starting point that the first playoff rankings use as an initial template…but that tends to even itself out after a good handful of weeks.

 

[GhostVol]

DeBoer signaling for "1"

Really, dude?

 

[BreatheUT]

This score will look worse than it should. The media will now claim Bama is a national title contender.

The polls have zero relevancy right now. The committee’s first rankings are the only first rankings that matter

 

[TrueOrange]

Alabama adds an extra TD to make sure Vanderbilt fully drops out of the rankings 30-14 with less than 20 seconds left.

 

[Wezcoast]

That had to suck. Keep it close all game and let a cheap TD at the end make it look like a thumping.

 

[OrangeEtBlanc]

‘Bama celebrating like that about beating Vandy is an odd sight.

 

[TrueOrange]

This score will look worse than it should. The media will now claim Bama is a national title contender.

It’s also enough of a score difference that Vanderbilt will drop out of the top 25 (even though they should probably stay in the 20s given it’s their first loss).
