Literally the only way Ohio State gets in this year is if the top 4 all lose. It would be a glorious spectacle to behold, but alas, I don't see that happening. Nah, I think we get in w/ a win and an OU loss. ACC winner is definitely in. SEC winner is definitely in so that's our last two options. After the awesome display of talent we showed against Iowa, I had no expectations so I'm good w/ it. If by some miracle it happens, great, but let's not pretend those odds are in our favor. OU looks pretty solid right now. I still think Clemson and Auburn are better though. I just hope Baker has a crap game before this season ends. Dude is an idiot (he's actually more than that but per forum rules, I can't speak my true thoughts about him w/o causing several infractions).

You don't think that TCU would have a shot? The assumption is also if OSU beats Wisconsin (I don't know that they will). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now if they pull a 59-0 then maybe, but then they probably jump Ohio State too in that case then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we lose to Wiscy, there's no chance in hell they get in over them. An idle Bama team is their best bet and I just don't see that happening even though, you know, Nick Saban thinks teams who aren't conference champs don't deserve to be in the playoffs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As well that they should if they stomp the team that beat OSU, even if they did lose to them earlier in the year. Like it or not that 2nd loss being an absolute shlacking to Iowa is an anchor around this team's neck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NateDawg Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 Alabama and OSU neither one deserve to make it. Weird year, really. Winner of the SEC is worthy of being there, along with OU. Same for winner of ACC or Wisky if they beat OSU. With that said, teams like Miami and Clemson even have really shown weak points at times, and the winner will be either 1/2. Even a Clemson fan on the board 2 weeks ago said that the Tigers are in real trouble if they make the playoffs. No real legitimate #1 like most years. Auburn certainly playing great at the moment. Strange that a 2-loss team seems to be your consensus best team at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NateDawg Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 I usually like Tebow as a whole, but he’s on ESPN today saying that Alabama should go to the playoff over an undefeated Wisconsin. How can you have such a bad take? Wisconsin would have better wins, be undefeated, and a conference championship. Takes like this really illustrate the name brand favoritism that contrasts between teams like Bama and UW in the CFP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobbyPhil1781 Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 FWIW, I don't disagree w/ Tebow that Bama would beat Wiscy. I don't think they deserve to be in there over an undefeated Wiscy but it is what it is. I do feel they're a better team and by a good margin.

Better or not, there’s relevance to resume, SOS, wins and losses, and conference titles. You can’t just pick the 4 things you think are the best on theair best day and throw everything else out. It’s an awful take by Tebow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JaguarCrazy2832 Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 With that Oklahoma win it makes it seem less likely but still a Wisky loss puts Bama in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that happens then I could see them making it instead. However, anything less than a 28+ point win and Alabama will comfortably make it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
