Look, there's this big internal debate among Bama fans about how we should feel about playoff inclusion (should it happen) this year. I care enough for my program to say that I want to avoid being embarrassed on a national stage when the WRONG Bama team shows up. Give us a good bowl, recruit well, get more disciplined, have Deboer work on improving the culture, and come back next season and try not to have a disaster like the OU game. I want us to be rewarded for being an elite team, not coast on brand recognition. Do better. I love you even when you break my heart. RTR.
I'm not a south Carolina fan or an Alabama fan but I agree with brad Alabama not a top 12 team and south Carolina Ben playing better football than Alabama
@@JonJones1776 Bama has since LOST of Oklahoma. Time to suck it up and admit Nick is gone...he's never coming back and Bama is going to be second tier for the future.
No one here commenting can sit here and say alabama can't beat theze teams if they play there a game. I know they aren't consistent but they are still a good team.
Nope got it right and smu and iu or nd don't deserve to be they either don't play anymore but them in Sec they all would have at least 4 loses more like 5 or 6 though

Don't deserve it after LOSING to Bama and Oklahoma and you know it. Cry harder when ya get blown out. Nick is gone...he's not coming to save bama no more.
@ I really don’t care 😂 we beat UGA, SC, LSU, and Missouri. We 11th. And yall mad so I really don’t care we going to the playoffs and yall can’t do nothing about it 😂 idc if we lose first round. We still in and you still mad
@@davidc2838they may be inconsistent, but you are going to say with a straight face that Indiana is better than Alabama? That’s a joke, remember it’s the best teams not the most deserving
NFL teams know exactly the formula for making the playoff and their seeding and no one argues comes playoff time, wish college football could do the same, example: there are 10 conferences and we all know there are 4 big ones, expand to 16 and allow the top 3 teams for the 4 bigs in that would make 12 and the last 4 come from the 6 conferences whoever is ranked the highest out of those 6 and spread them out for great matchups. Def not a perfect way but maybe a way to help take the human factor out and you kind of know what you have to do to get in. I am sure you guys have better ideas than this one and maybe someday it will get better on how to get in. I am a SEC fan but I am a college football fan as well and would like the system to be better as well. Good luck to all your fav teams
@@hashmoncrief6965 Nah, Tired of the team that isn't a Natty winner anymore pretending that Nick is going to save them. He won't. They're toast. Haven't lost 3 Regular Season games since 2010...Bama isn't it anymore.
The committee is a joke. What if any of the teams lost the conference championship games, does that mean current lower rank team will go a spot or 2 up?
Because it comes down to seeding .... Top 4 isn't the actual top 4 ranked. It's the top 4 conference champions. Then 2-3 losers of those title games will get a spot. Then top group of 5. ND.... And like 2 others? ... So the top 12 isn't necessarily the ones getting in or at least in those spots.
If you had to bet your life on one team that's going to win the national championship, you're really placing it on the Irish? Yeah I think you're more of a Marcus Freeman fan than an Irish fan
They dont value anything, at ohio st, they just dont want tgemmto come to the SEC FIELD N BE EMBRASSED. it would have been a much better atmonsphere coming to Neyland. A much better crowd, much better for TV that selection comm. Didnt want a big 10 embrassed on an SEC FIELD😂😂. ITS AL 23:34 WAYS RIGGED
@ I most definitely am, but you cannot tell me that we won’t get embarrassed first round. Coach has no control over his players my guy. Sloppy football with all the turnovers, drops, and OL struggles the past few weeks. But nice assumption though
Your no Bama fan. How can you sit there and say you wNt Bama to lose to prove a senseless point.Bama is the conner McGregor of football and without them the whole ship sinks.
Either the Tennessee hate is that bad in this country and everyone just hates Tennessee that much including the committee or the Ohio st glaze is just that strong glazier then a donut with the committee
I like how the committee looks at Alabama wins but doesn’t look at their terrible loses. Vanderbilt is a 6-6 team as well as Oklahoma. They beat Georgia by 7 at home. Georgia Tech should have beaten Georgia and took them to 8 OT’s at their place. South Carolina lost to Alabama by two, and anyone who watched that game the refs had to throw a flag on a holding call, just when South Carolina had them. And this was in Alabama. So this is complete BS!! How does a team that they said had 18% chance of making the playoffs make it. And that was after the Clemson and Miami loss. Its all BS!! Scripted by the owners of the networks!! This is the country we live in.
To be fair, in the cfp all that matters is beating good teams since every team is good. A team that loses to all bad teams but beats all good teams will win the cfp.
Everyone who wanted 12 teams. You were warned this would happen. You're welcome! Enjoy always having a door open for the stupidity! People who want 16+.... it'll be even better!
Even before a single game has been played for the 12 team playoff, the transfer portal is clearly the single most influence driving parity in the sport. Do you not realize that expanding the playoff from 4 to 12 teams only gives about two or three horrifically bad teams bids? If the ninth best SEC team played Arizona State and then Boise State, the ninth best SEC team would be in the semifinal of the college football playoff. But automatic bids exist so we are stuck with games that should be blowouts, but I will predict our only two score losses for each team against whoever the five seat is
You can’t sit here and tell me Ohio still is better and deserves to host Tennessee it should be other way around Tennessee had one bad loss at beginning of year when their not their best to Arkansas in Arkansas and then loss to Georgia in Georgia arguably the best team in sec two tough away games in hardest conference sec,Ohio st got embarrass by 6-5 Michigan in to make it worse their home stadium and even more worse at the end of the year final game when they should be playing their best ball,also who the hell has Ohio st played other then penn st who I also think is overrated and in my opinion if make playoffs will lose to Alabama if they make it these seedings are joke and committee should be ashamed
They screwed us. Should be at Neyland, we were ranked higher. No punishment for acting like fools after the last game. School won't supended anyone. More than half the team shoukd be benched, for all the teams that fought
I want everyone to know this. Who sways the committee? Yes, the Networks. And that is ESPN-ABC and FOX. And why do they always want Alabama in?!! Yes the TV Ratings. But did you know that ABC-ESPN, FOX, CBS and NBC are all majority owned by the same 3 financial institutions. Yes, State Street Bank, BlackRock and Vanguard own the majority shares of all the networks. And each one owns the other. Vanguard owns the majority share in BlackRock. So yes, this should answer why South Carolina, Ole Miss and Miami is ranked below Alabama. Money people!!
@ They will still watch. They will watch so they can see them get beat. I know all about the TV ratings and how important they are. Until people stop watching like they did with the NFL, things will stay the same. And the NFL got those ratings back from legalized gambling.
I know it socks for your team but honestly it's all about money and ratings and Bama is the best brand. Bama 3 loses were a fluke. The Bama coaches let the team down by over looking those teams and it bit them in the butt. They have the most talented team when they play there game.
@@jasonejones77 just like in the first round game there gonna take that L they shouldn't even be in there 😂 hopefully they get pushed out if Clemson wins against smu
ND has no business being in anywhere untill they join a conference! NO one has te balls to tell them that. Not being in a conference is snubbing your nose at all of college football
TN got shafted in this deal. They should be hosting OSU.

Alabama lost to Vandy and Ou both bad teams
How many good wins did they ( the most in college football) 4 top 25 wins and they where number one at some point in the season

Bama should be swapped for SC
South Carolina was hosed by SEC referees vs. (LSU and Alabama).
No they were against lsu not bama bama was actually hosed in that sc game
@drewrockwell8000 🤔 you sure?🤔 Both games in my opinion
They done let my boys in the door 🍊🍊🍊🍊🍊🍊🍊🍊
Just not the right door ! They should be in NEYLAND. TN. RANKED 3 HIGHER, but they dropped us under tgem
How is Miami out if they are 12 and 12 teams get in?
Conference championships

5 highest ranked conference champs
They get kicked out after conference games this weekend
OSU should not host period
If Oregon wins... i see ND jumping penn state to 5 seed. One loss vs two loss.. 2 common opponents and ND won more impressively in both games.
What if Oregon lose the championship game? Are they still #1? 😂
@KebbyLL 5 seed
@KebbyLL no sec champion would be and penn state at 2 but Oregon going to destroy penn state who has played no one
It all comes down to money. Bama fans will travel to out of town games.

Yeah, dude saying ND would win it all doesn't wash with me. I could be wrong, but I think Texas would wipe the field with them.
GO ND
They would like to talk about teams when they are different. ASU lost to Cincy without a play from their starting quarterback
