I'm curious if I even want us to play Notre Dame the first game. they have been playing really well. I understand not against great competition, but they have quietly been smoking teams.

Like USC? Pick 6 when SC was going in…..

My current mood to everyone not a 'Bama fan:

Very clearly I don't know what I am doing to insert a GIF. Anyone feel free to tell me how to properyly insert a GIF. Thanks @TerryP

Watching the playoff special (doing paperwork today). Looks and sounds like if Boise wins and smu loses. SMU stay ahead of bama. Which would eliminate bama. If both lose it’s 50/50 on bama. If they both win, bama is in.

SMH... no, just no... smu will not be ranked ahead of bama if they lose. This has been discussed earlier.

Boise is even ranked worse than smu... they will not stay ahead of Bama either if they lose.

All this stress if for not... stop trying to make it more complicated than it is. If either Boise or SMU were to be considered with an additional loss they'd be ranked ahead of uGA, uT, and/or OSU. Currently they are not... for both of those teams it's win you're in... lose you're out.

I understand and agree with you, but the way this show is running.
Discussing this issue right now.

Unanimous consensus by the hosts of the playoff special is that smu will stay. Granted I agree with y’all but that’s not what these guys are saying.

 

[Rsedge72]

Oh and Sam Acho agrees that bama should be ranked above ole miss and USCe, which kinda surprised me

They are there to generate buzz and talk....

You can't ignore the way the Playoff committee has things currently ranked and moving a 2 loss Miami behind Alabama says a tremendous amount considering Miami was ranked well ahead of both smu and boise prior.

I have schizo rambling screenshots from an ND forum staff member if it's OK to post here. Not sure if they're behind a paywall.

They did it twice against them. Oklahoma almost did it twice to us.

How long before teams in the top 10 start opting out of championship games if teams like SMU get dropped if they lose?

True, but I don’t think they are world beaters (not saying we are either lol!)

“Opting out” would be forfeit so no, that will not happen. Now a team like Oregon may sit players to avoid injury…

No, not at all. I just wanted to share I felt they were playing decent this year compared to year's past where they always seem to sleep walk their way into a good spot.

Is it a forfeit or does the conference put in the next in line? If it's not an on the field loss how does the committee view it? Team has the flu and can't play... few ways they could get out of playing. Just FYI, any time you don't play without a legitimate reason it's a forfeit and sorry sportsmanship to me but I could see teams doing it.

2 loss vs 3 loss.

Wonder if last year getting bama in over undefeated fsu will factor in... even sub-mentality to some committee members

Oh that Oklahoma fiasco.

And Vandy... Sorry could not resist...

Do it...I'll take the flak, if any.

If we base an answer on how they handled the CWS a few years ago with Covid...if a team is sick in the tourney, they are out of luck.
