The questions is, which is more impressive winning the Big 12 or the SEC? Put another way, who has the more impressive body of work? I’m not saying it’s Bama (not saying it’s not). Head 2 head should matter no matter when they play. If all else is equal that is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who has a better chance of winning in the playoff? FSU or Texas/Bama/Georgia. Would we had won the NC without Cam?

Not really fair for one team to sit at home and rest, while others have to play tough games. See: bama in 2017 (sits at home while Auburn has rematch with uga), bama in 2011 (doesn't win the West, but still gets a rematch with LSU), etc Completely agree. I believe 16 teams is optimum & fair to all. No byes to any team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s why we have a committee to take the computer out of it and have some subjectivity to account for these things.

So u penalized the rest of the team that also played a part in winning the games because one player is hurt. Travis is a piece not the entire team.

FSU put in work and rebuilt their program over the past 5/6 years. Now they are in the position to benefit from it and the rug is about to be snatched right from under them. As for Texas they are a conference champion who beat Bama in their own house. No way Bama should get Texas spot…. Point of the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sevenlee36 1,654 Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 Odd way of looking at it, but who has the “worse” loss? Texas or Alabama? You also have to consider Bama was still figuring out their team when they lost to Texas. Milroe wasn’t even the solidified starter and I think he was back up the next week. They got better and are now one of the four best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aubaseball 2,646 Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 Not going to listen to any of it….the words being thrown out “deserving”, “best 4”, “who would win in a head to head “, is all BS. Is just a matter of someone’s opinion. Why don’t we go back to voting? It’s the same thing, except now you play an extra game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's time for college football to just go ahead and rip the band-aid off...the NFL-ization of CFB is pretty much complete. Set up some re-realigned conferences and divisions, figure out a 12 game schedule with no FCS/1-AA filler, make a 16-team playoff and be done with it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
