I don't think Alabama gets in at all. Can't believe you left out Oregon. I would put Ohio St ahead of Alabama. TEXAS???? No way.

Clearly your knowledge of college football is lacking, but that's ok, this is a discussion thread.

I would love to hear your reasoning behind this other than "I hate Alabama". I've given my logical reasoning as to why Alabama would be in. Where is yours?
 
I am curious to see what some of you thought about the twelve team college football playoff system that is going into place next year. I think the current four team system always seems to leave someone out who deserves a chance to potentially play for the championship and twelve schools is too many teams. I think eight teams is a good number to work with.

I love the 12 team system. I think it gives teams, who find their stride mid season, to have a chance to overcome an early season loss or two. It also does away with the month long layoff from games that matter. Im stoked about it!

David Tepper is probably the worst team owner in the NFL and this is coming from a Colts fan who has dealt with the Irsay family owning that franchise for years. Tepper has fired a head coach every year he has owned the Panthers and the trade he authorized with the Bears before last year's draft has come back to bite the Panthers, especially if next year's first pick would have been a first overall pick. If I were an established head coach and Tepper came knocking on my door, I'd be tempted to slam it in his face.

Haha now that Snyder is no longer, he's right up there with Irsay i would say.

I gotcha. Well just because you can't make a valid argument about why Alabama shouldn't be in over any other 1 loss team if they beat Georgia doesn't mean your post is irrelevant....just unfounded.

Here's an easy argument for you going forward... "Texas beat Bama in their house by 10, therefore Texas is more deserving". Be prepared for the counter of, "Texas lost to Oklahoma, a team not relevant in the playoff discussion. Also, please compare the Bama/Texas resumes..."

That should help you going forward....at least on other forums.

I see a scenario where that could happen, but its going to need some help.

Oregon has to beat Washington by a slim margin.
Bama has to beat UGA by a slim margin
FSU has to lose
Texas has to lose

I think getting two SEC teams is impossible this year the way they have set it up. OSU can’t lose this weekend and they are waiting right in the wing to jump right back in. Probably gotta see Michigan lose to Iowa as well to get GA a shot should Bama beat them.

I think UGA wins or the SEC will be out.

I think FSU or Texas has to lose to get Bama in or possibly Oregon barely beating Washington. That said Bama would need to absolutely destroy GA by 21 to have a chance to *possibly* sneak them in over Oregon, but probably still won’t do it. Bama isn’t jumping a blue blood like Texas. The media has been trying to push they are back every year since like 2010 and there is no way they will leave them out with a win over Bama this year.

I definitely agree, but in this case it would be blue blood vs blue blood, and not blue blood vs a flash in the pan. If it is the same scenario except with say Texas Tech, Bama would have a much greater chance at jumping them.
 
Definitely think there's a good chance the SEC gets shut out if Alabama were to win this week and we go chalk otherwise. It just feels like there's some SEC fatigue to me.

They'd need to blow Georgia out (probably not happening as when we've talked about a championship setting with the two teams, you only can come up with one case where it was close to one, and while Milroe has been playing better, Bryce Young was the best QB in college football in 2021) or get help from at least one, if not both of FSU/Texas losing (FSU isn't what they were without Travis, but based on what we saw out of Louisville last week, they're probably going to be 13-0 and you unfortunately have to probably put them in if Georgia loses).

Think Florida state is the weakest of the unbeatens especially without Travis

It was a great game ;)
 
And we thought SEC football was crazy ?

The Oklahoma State-Texas football rivalry took a gruesome turn when a dead longhorn cow was discovered on the lawn of an Oklahoma State fraternity, one day before the schools meet in the Big 12 championship game.
 
Washington-Oregon was lit. Huskies to the CFP. Georgia and Michigan to join tomorrow. FSU doesnt deserve it even if they win. Should be Texas.

Eh I think if you go undefeated in a power 5 conference and win your championship game you deserve to go. The acc and every other conference has a handful of mediocre teams. It’s hard to go undefeated no matter what conference your in.

FSU wins they are in, it’s that simple. Think Georgia is In regardless, less they absolutely get smoked by bama, then there will be chaos for the foal spot between bama texas asuming they beat okie state, and Ohio state

If GA gets in over Bama despite losing in the title game then they lose the argument to put Texas in over Bama.
 
Yeah, if Bama happens to win today over Georgia and it's a close game, along with FSU winning, I'd still probably lean toward them shutting the SEC out this time considering what's coming starting next year (gonna have at least 3 SEC teams in easily every year unless it's a down year).

If FSU loses (possible since they might have their 3rd string QB if Plummer takes care of the ball for Louisville), that's where it gets interesting. If you're going to give Georgia the benefit of the doubt, you probably also have to put Bama in at the same time, and Austin, TX would likely burn the town down as long as they win early this afternoon.

I'm not hoping for any of the above though.
 
Well whatever happens today, will be the last time. At first I did not like the 12 team playoff but after thinking about it lately and as I am a SEC fan, The 12 team playoff is nothing but great news for us. They will no longer be able to play politics and ignore strength of schedule.
 
I don't think i ever cheered for Alabama before, but i find myself doing it tonight. I think its time to move on from Georgia..lol. They have overstayed their welcome. Everyone gets tired of the same team being around every year.;):D

A 12 team tournament is perfect. Look what March Madness does for CBB every year.
 
Now who gets in? I'm assuming Michigan will beat Iowa. Not sure about FSU with 2nd or 3rd string qb.

Here's my prediction:
1) Michigan
2) Washington
3) Texas
4) Alabama

The same can be said about Bama. I'm hoping the SEC is left out this year. Hoping it'll be Washington, FLA State, Texas, and Michigan.
