AUfaninNM 20 Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 Here's how the final regular season (pre-Bowl) rankings shake out: -AU & Bama tied at #9 in AP -Bama at #9 & AU at #13 in Coaches' Poll -AU at #12 & Bama at #13 in the final playoff ranking If AU beats Minnesota, that should guarantee they get ranked over Bama at the very end in all the polls. Probably hasn't happened since 2013? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tigerpro2a 5,650 Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 The Bama bump is alive and well in more than recruiting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUwent 3,747 Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 (Because there's not a better thread to post this in) The CFP so far has been extremely lucky. If it had existed in the BCS era they would have had to make so many decisions that would have been harder than any they've had to make. Seriously, 1998 would have been an absolute nightmare. Tennessee and FSU would be in, but you had KSU and UCLA undefeated until the final weekend, you had tOSU who was arguably the best team for most of the year but with an atrocious loss to 6-6 Michigan State, and TAMU who was 11-2 and conference champs over KSU, with one of those losses was a pre-season kickoff game (to FSU)--should they have been punished for playing that pre-season game? There would have been mass riots in two of West LA, Manhattan, Columbus and College Station. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They might have concerns about motivation, too, but Jones will be auditioning for next year's starting gig and those receivers could sleepwalk through any Big 10 defense outside of Columbus.

Somehow most years so far have been pretty easy decisions, but imagine if UGA, Utah, and Baylor won last week (not even mentioning the idea of Wisconsin winning). They’d have to pick among SEC champ UGA 12-1 LSU ACC champ Clemson B1G champ OSU PAC champ Utah B12 champ Baylor That’s a no-win situation, and even though we happen to have avoided disaster happening this year, there’s no doubt this 4 team playoff is gonna screw some teams over eventually (Penn State the year OSU got in over them and get slaughtered by Clemson comes to mind...)
