Because Bama lost to the #1 team by 5 points. That is crazy talk. They are
likely in if they win out. Can you imagine Saban's reaction being picked over by a pac 12 team with the same record and a worse schedule and loss?

Utah will only have 2 wins over teams with a winning record. BYU and Washington

Maybe we should lose to UMass and SDSU purposely to make their SOS even worse.

IF we did it would likely kill Utah's playoff chances. No way they would get in

If Utah wins out and beats Oregon they are in the playoff.

Bama won’t get in as the committee will take Tua’s injury into account. Georgia

If Bama defeats Auburn without Tua they might have a chance to be in

Bama has one win vs a team with a winning record. They lost to the only good

Can you imagine the reaction if 3 SEC teams are picked? Not gonna happen.
Mike Honcho

Of course its not it will be Clemson, OSU, LSU and either an SEC team or Oklahom

Who’s OSU? Do you mean tOSU? 😜

Bama is already ahead of them, so who knows? Minnesota is a long shot for sure,

Tua’s gone and their schedule is garbage. If 2 SEC teams make it in it’ll be LSU and UGA

I think you’re underestimating the power of the Bama, SEC, and Big Ten brands,
chilango
11/17/19 12:58am
Yep, part of Alabama’s brand is never losing. They lost to LSU and now their starting QB is out.
Mike Honcho
11/17/19 1:20am
Again, you might want to check out what happened in 2017.
chilango
11/17/19 1:21am
Again, there is 0% chance they let in 3 SEC teams and LSU/Georgia are both ahead of Bama
Mike Honcho

If LSU beats Georgia, then Bama would be the #2 team in the SEC pecking order

3 SEC teams would be cool if it accelerated the move to 8 teams, I agree. But after losing to LSU,

There were a lot of 1-loss teams at the top that year. This year there are probably 3 undefeated teams.

If there's any crowding at all with one loss teams, Utah is out b/c SOS will be weighed heavily.

Oklahoma's ooc is actually worse than Utah thanks to BYU. The big 12 is stronge
johnnybyu
11/17/19 12:30am
OCC might be weak but their conf is better so Big 12 still gets overall advantage on SOS vs PAC.

if the big 12 is better than the pac its closer than you make it sound
