Give everyone but the Conference Champions an L for the week since they didnt make the game. That way no one benefits from not making the Championship game Edited December 4, 2022 by arein0 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As objective as I hope the committee to be, they'd lose all credibility letting a Hooker less UT in over bama. Not the same UT without him 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WillMunny 1,376 Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 As much as I hate to admit it, Alabama deserves some consideration here. Alabama lost two games because of two plays. They were two plays away from an undefeated season, with their best player (QB Bryce Young) out or hobbled for both games. Yet they never got blown out. On the other hand, Ohio State, USC, and TCU all got blown out. Still, I don't think there's any way the committee will put Bama in the playoff. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should be viewed in the same boat as a G5 champion 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

penguin149 391 Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 TCU got blown out???? Lost in OT in the conference championship game by a field goal? UAT was also 2 plays away from being 8-4 (Texas & A&M). There is a bias to get UAT and/or Clemson into the playoffs and with Clemson's loss to USCe...I'm afraid the Taters might make it 🤬 It should be UGA, UM, TCU & tOSU (or USCw at least)....assuming UM wins tonight! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TCU lost by 3 in overtime for their only loss of the year. Pretty much equal to bama's loss to UT. They also both played and beat Texas on the road. TCU won by 7 and bama won by 1. They both have two Top 25 wins as of the rankings today. With one more game played and one less loss, TCU should get that spot but the committee sure loves bama. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

e808 3,025 Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 Maybe I am wearing orange and blue glasses but I don’t think they beat Auburn convincingly. Had one blatant missed call that aided them in a score and had a rather very uncharacteristic fumble by Hunter that lead to a score. He had a lot of green grass in front of him. Otherwise at best they beat Auburn by 14 and Auburn still ran well against them with a basic offense 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yngwie1995 2,229 Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 Michigan trying their best to help bama. 🙄 14-13 game at half-time. But Michigan came out and scored a TD on their first drive of the 2nd half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think if they let bama in the playoffs this year, then there will be a movement to disband the committee when the playoff expands. The new expanded playoff will be similar to the NFL’s and they don’t have a committee, but their team selections are based on statistics and other mathematical formulas that don’t include human opinion. Too much money is pouring in and being spent in this sport now, so schools aren’t going to let personal biases ruin their seasons without questioning the madness. JMO.

AUwent 3,748 Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 (edited) This season reminds me of 2001--one/two (respectively) teams head and shoulders above the rest, the other half of the available spots a debate between "the best" (Florida, Texas, Tennessee) and "most deserving" (Colorado, Oregon, Nebraska).

Cardin Drake 1,827 Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 Book it: 1 Georgia 2 Michigan 3. TCU 4. Ohio State Yeah, Bama would be favored if they played TCU. But that doesn't matter. They would need a compelling reason to elevate a 2 loss team over a 1 loss team, and there isn't one. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To continue my '01 metaphor above, Florida that year would've been favored over anyone not named Miami. They would not have deserved a spot in the four-team playoff. Why the hell do we even play the games if UAT gets in... Edited December 4, 2022 by AUwent 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aubaseball 2,603 Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 I can’t believe that people are on here talking about Alabama deserving to be in the playoff. The complete hypocrisy in all this is Alabama ranked ahead of Tennessee. I don’t care that their quarterback got hurt or not. I guess wins don’t matter to some on here and to the idiots making the selections. Complete nonsense and really a joke if everything is looked at objectively. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
