If Bama makes the CFP

[VolCalls]

No way they're kept out. Too big a brand too much money. Don't get me wrong, I want nothing but bad things for bama but I just don't see it. Plus you'd set a bad precedent with a championship game being a penalty.

Not true. They’ll be left out because they have 3 losses, including one to a 5-7 team.

I’ll bet any amount of money on it.

 

[KittenVol]

to me Oklahoma deserve to be in now.

They were already in. They’re ranked higher.

 

[Augustus McRae]

Not true. They’ll be left out because they have 3 losses, including one to a 5-7 team.

I’ll bet any amount of money on it.

There are certain teams that get the benefit of the doubt. This is one of them. I hope they get left out but like I said earlier, there's too much money involved when bama is there.

 

[Krunchi]

They were already in. They’re ranked higher.

OU was a lock last week this week's game was for hosting a playoff game Bama could of jumped them with a win.

I don’t buy the conspiracy theory.

 

[VOLinAL]

sooooooooooooooooooooooooooo i dont guess this game ment nothing.

It meant they will likely get smoked by a similar team in the playoffs.

But they already said VA isn't getting in if they lose.

 

[Augustus McRae]

But they already said VA isn't getting in if they lose.

Exactly my point. It's about the brand.

 

[VOL931]

Exactly my point. It's about the brand.

Maybe. I think they'll still be in. I hope so and hope they get obliterated in the first game

 

[Redleg68]

Exactly my point. It's about the brand.

Their brand has lost some of it's luster and there is definitely some Alabama fatigue out there.

I hope you're right

OU was a lock last week this week's game was for hosting a playoff game Bama could have jumped them with a win.

OU was was a lock because as the #6 team in the SEC, they beat the #1 team in the SEC. But because they’re the #6 team, they couldn’t play for the sec championship. But because the team they beat to get into the playoffs lost a game OU couldn’t play in, that team is potentially out and OU is in. Got it.

 

[Boston Vol]

Alabama and Miami should get the two last spots. Alabama has a far superior resume to both ND and Miami. ND and Miami have almost identical resumes, with the exception that Miami owns the head to head, so they should be in before ND.

 

[Unconditional Surrender]

Okie or Notre Dame deserve it more the Bama.

All three of those teams are going.

 

[Firebirdparts]

Yeah. Whatever you guys think. I honestly just think it’s a crap precedent to be set that the team that was the best regular season team loses a game that the 3rd, 4th and 5th best teams didn’t even qualify to play in, but still go to the national playoffs without being one of the best two teams in the league over the season and not even being good enough to play in the conference championship game. I can’t believe this is that difficult a concept

No, it doesn't really matter. The playoffs don't need any 3 loss team, even if they lost in a championship game. They are not needed. They may get in, but they're not needed to have a good playoff.

No 3 loss team has any argument, period. 3 loss teams cannot be national champion.

 

[VolCalls]

All three of those teams are going.

Bama isn’t going.

 

[Unconditional Surrender]

IN theory, I don't think you should get screwed because you lost the SEC championship game, but hopefully that is exactly what happens.

 

[Unconditional Surrender]

Bama isn’t going.

Fingers crossed but I will believe it when I see it.

 

[VolCalls]

IN theory, I don't think you should get screwed because you lost the SEC championship game, but hopefully that is exactly what happens.

They aren’t getting screwed. They lost 3 games. I don't think a 3-loss team is getting in. But the committee may decide to make it easy and leave out ND since Miami beat them, while avoiding having to "devalue" losing in a conference championship game.

 

[Jax_Vol]

Difficult to argue convincingly one way or the other without balanced scheduling. It is what it is.

Yup.

Bammer ran the ball 15 times for a total of -2 yard of rushing.

Sorry boys, but we can't have that chit representing the SEC in the playoffs.

 

[Brandon88]

OU was a lock last week this week's game was for hosting a playoff game Bama could of jumped them with a win.

Yeah with a win they got the crap beat out of them.

 

[Flogballs]

Why play in SEC championship if you’re going to be eliminated after being the 1 seed?

The committee won’t do it. I’ve heard it say before they can’t penalize teams for making and playing in their conference championship games

 

[Brandon88]

They aren’t getting screwed. They lost 3 games. No 3-loss team is getting in.

I think a 3 lose team don't deserve to get in.

 

[Flogballs]

Yup.

Bammer ran the ball 15 times for a total of -2 yard of rushing.

Sorry boys, but we can't have that chit representing the SEC in the playoffs.

There will be two worse teams in the playoffs

 

[newyorkvol]

No, it doesn't really matter. The playoffs don't need any 3 loss team, even if they lost in a championship game. They are not needed. They may get in, but they're not needed to have a good playoff.

you do realize no sport actually works like that? NCAA basketball? NFL? “No team” is a BS argument
