LOL at these people. A team jumping another team that they’d be a touchdown favorite over is the most corrupt thing in the sport ever. The takes and meltdowns if Bama gets a spot is going to be incredible content.

I don't know how many post under that account. I do know a few of them don't feel too fondly about anything SEC related.

RedditCFB is Finebaum in a different genre. You may not like what they say; but they are damn good at what they do.

No clue. The odds changed every hour last year.

Heavy SMU last I saw, and SMU may get in, but IMO looking at futures on this stuff is a crapshoot at best. They were off last year with FSU. And the sharps aren't gonna waste their time on stuff with low limits, so it's just a bunch of goobers throwing money at it for the most part. I also think the CFP folks do a pretty good job of keeping things locked down which is easier when fewer people are involved.

Yeah, their content for a while has been terrible compared to what it could be/should be.

That's a little surprising, Bama being ahead of LSU. AP voters are an emotional bunch and not a group of real deep thinkers for the most part.

Looking at the vote numbers, it couldn't really have been any tighter... (Bama) 838 to (SMU) 837, but still.

I thought our strength of schedule would have been higher than 17.

I would have thought so too after everything was played out. ESPN has UA at 16. Sagarin has them at 15.

8 of the top 10 on ESPN's SOS rankings are SEC teams. The other 2 are B1G teams. That about says it all...

Sos should count for so much more when determining first round byes, even if you do win your conference championship. I also think that the committee "can" send a message that sos matters regarding choosing between Alabama and SMU. Whether they do it or not, we will soon find out

 

[TerryP]

NOW: Look at what the media is saying!​

ALSO NOW:​

 

[Brandon Van de Graaff]

My final guess before the poll reveal: Bama gets in. Again, I don't feel 100% like last year, more like 64.8%... but that's my prediction.

Capitulation. Programs, around the nation, looking at noon.

They gonna come out with it now or wait closer to 4?

 

[Secondand26]

According to McMurphy it’s SMU - 9 minutes ago “sources”

 

[rick4bama]

Pick the top 12 and then talk about it!!

I wasn't gonna post it, but yeah. I turned it back to King of the Hill.

They'll do it before noon, before NFL kicks off.

 

[Brandon Van de Graaff]

Fans bitched about teams like Bama or Ole Miss getting in, and now those same fans will be the most vocal ones about the shitty, one sided matchups we end up with in some of these games going forward.

I’m surprised again that 8 SEC teams had tougher schedules than we did. I guess Wisconsin’s fall and Vandy losing so many down the stretch didn’t help. And Oklahoma going 6-6. I didn’t feel like a light SEC schedule but we probably did some of that to ourself.

Clemson the only 3 loss team and that's because they won the conference.
