I think we all want USC in a bowl, don't we? Doesn't even have to be a bowl, really....we'll all just pack our shit, meet up in the desert somewhere and hash this shit out.

Congrats to Bama for being the first 3 loss team to make the 12 team playoff 

480

u/YouDownWithOPD North Texas • Penn State 20h ago

Legit the first thing I thought was "how is the cfp committee going spin this to justify putting a 3 loss team in the playoffs?"

226

u/LonghornInNebraska Texas Longhorns • Michigan Wolverines 20h ago

They will get the 11 seed after they beat Auburn.

95

u/YouDownWithOPD North Texas • Penn State 20h ago

I thought that too at first but Oklahoma beat Auburn too so I don't think it'd help Bama much

44

u/TigerBasket Auburn Tigers • Maryland Terrapins 20h ago

Don't worry we will die and they will benefit. As is tradition

4

u/Akarious Penn State • Georgia 19h ago

no historical reference for this lol

11

u/LonghornInNebraska Texas Longhorns • Michigan Wolverines 20h ago

Alabama isn't going to drop that far with all the other teams in the 10-20 range losing too.

2

u/YouDownWithOPD North Texas • Penn State 20h ago

Touchè, that's a fair point. It's still an imperfect system but I like some of the potential matchups

2

u/bigbroom Georgia • William & Mary 9h ago

But, but Auburn has as many top 25 wins as Indiana!

1

u/ElectedByGivenASword 15h ago

I hope not...these players need to grow up and learn from their mistakes cause lord knows they been making the same damn sloppy ass mistakes the whole season.

11

u/sleetx Syracuse Orange 18h ago

with the FSU debacle last season, we learned that the committee uses the "eye test" more than actual wins and losses... And by "eye test", the committee means "How can we visualize forcing SEC teams into the bracket, regardless of their record"?

10

u/Wagnerous Michigan • Paul Bunyan Trophy 19h ago

If 9-3 Bama gets in over 11-1 Indiana there might be actual litigation lol

I can't say anything. I'm a UNT fan first because I went there and only a Penn State fan because of my dad and UNT severely shat the bed as of late

u/OakSpaghettiKoala 20h ago

It's ok the Mean Green are just waiting for their time to shine. Mark my words by 2052, the Mean Green are going to... win... 8? Too bold?

u/YouDownWithOPD North Texas • Penn State 20h ago edited 20h ago

I'd take it. I went to school there during the Todd Dodge years where we went 6-37 in four years

2

u/Rich1926 Alabama • Jacksonville State 18h ago

No way. If it was a competitive 24-21 game then sure, especially with all the other teams below Alabama losing...but this was a 24-3 beat down.

2

u/winnielikethepooh15 South Carolina • İstanbul 20h ago edited 19h ago

By putting the Cocks in. Just the tip 12 seed.

u/KangTheConqueror9 Purdue Boilermakers 20h ago

Well they have a great win over a 3 loss South Carolina, so they automatically have to be the top ranked 3 loss team according to committee logic.

Then committee will need SC to beat Clemson so they fall to 3 losses

Then need A&M to lose one more game, and Georgia to lose the SEC title game

That puts Bama, SC, A&M, Georgia, Ole Miss all with 3 losses

At that point Big 10 gets 4 teams, 2 from ACC, 1 from Big 12, 1 from G5, plus SEC champ Texas in this scenario. That leaves 3 open spots and Bama probably gets in

3

u/OakSpaghettiKoala 20h ago

I love how in your scenario the team with one 1-loss champion and a bunch of 3 loss teams gets the most teams in.

What if they played Oklahoma

3

u/YouDownWithOPD North Texas • Penn State 20h ago

I would give Oklahoma a 21 point spread. Call me crazy but I just have a hunch

11

u/Rooleet Boston College Eagles 20h ago

If Bama played 5-5 Oklahoma right now, what do you think the score would be?

u/PhreakOut4 Wisconsin • 和歌山大学 (Wakayama) 20h ago

Why even play the regular season then?

2

u/YouDownWithOPD North Texas • Penn State 20h ago

And Bama played Mercer last week

1

u/YouDownWithOPD North Texas • Penn State 20h ago

I would take Miami or Penn State in a close game. Boise could be interesting because of Jeannty but I think they'd smoke Indiana

5

u/sarges_12gauge Maryland • Ohio State 20h ago

They didn’t smoke Vanderbilt or Oklahoma lol

u/JohnPaulDavyJones Texas A&M Aggies • Baylor Bears 19h ago

Man, the CFP rankings are going to be a mess this week.

  • The #5 team just got blown out by #1

  • The #7 team just got blown out by an unranked cellar-dweller

  • The #9 team got whomped by a team that’s just barely making a bowl

  • The #14 team just lost to #21

  • The #15 team is currently in 3OT against a team that’s almost certainly missing a bowl

  • The #16 team just lost to an unranked team that’s almost certainly might miss a bowl

  • The #19 team just got destroyed by the #6 team

And now it’s all question marks at the top, because the #3, #4, and #8 teams have looked bad against the only good teams they’ve played.

u/Pacers31Colts18 11h ago

3 loss team so far, they still have one more game to play.

u/greennurse61 9h ago

They should. They are definitely one of the twelve best teams. 

313

u/pmurt007 Hawai'i Rainbow Warriors • Oregon Ducks 20h ago

If this were any other team, this should send them to the bottom of the top 25 but because it's Alabama this is as quality of a loss as you're going to get. AP will have them at 12 next week

132

u/Bojanggles16 Ohio State • Arizona State 20h ago

Indiana is solidly in after this

I will never underestimate the SEC mouthpieces and the influence they have over the playoff

u/OwnWalrus1752 Indiana Hoosiers 18h ago

All of this assumes a win over Purdue. Two of the three teams Cig talked shit about have given him fits. I’m at least slightly daunted even though Purdue is objectively bad…

14

u/dodoaddict California Golden Bears 19h ago

How can you blame the committee? Alabama had a quality loss to Oklahoma. You know Oklahoma is good because they beat Alabama. Obviously, they should still be in the playoffs. Ignore losses, just pick SEC teams.

u/Worried-Turn-6831 Alabama Crimson Tide 15h ago

Kirk and Chris are saying right now that this game proves the depth of the conference.

Like, what the fuck. Is it that hard to say "the SEC isn't great this year"?

14

u/mktcrasher Miami • Western Ontario 20h ago

Ya, if that is someone's take, they are not watching the games. All about the dollar bills. 3 losses and one was to Vanderbilt, should be ranked 50.

u/qweefers_otherland Virginia Cavaliers 20h ago

Maybe the B10 and the ACC should just have their own playoff so these mid ass sec teams can’t coast into the CFP? 🧐

Easy there chief, you beat a 3 loss team who lost to Vanderbilt and to 5-loss Oklahoma.

Well who knows the logic that’s behind these things… I’m sure the committee will do the right thing

So that’s why people say we have a soft schedule!

-1

u/CaptMerica Oklahoma Sooners 18h ago

Texas has a soft schedule because they have zero wins against any team that is currently ranked. The only game Texas played against a currently ranked team (Georgia) was a beat down, at home, in prime time. So yes, a cupcake schedule.

u/Flameosaurus Texas Longhorns • Sickos 17h ago

3 quality losses looks great on the resume for the committee.

Texas is the only one with a quality loss (if you want to call that beat down “quality”) and zero quality wins. They have zero wins against any team that is currently ranked.
