I will 100% not be watching the SMU game. Boycott. I hope they get destroyed.

College football is a shell of what it used to be. Sad.

Time to enjoy some time in the woods and go fishing.

 

[PurlJam]

So where does Bama go to a bowl game?

Citrus against Illinois. Bigger question is what players dont opt out and will actually play in it?

Alabama should never schedule a tough games going forward. Committee created this mess.

 

[bamaledge]

What’s the incentive to schedule tough opponents in the regular season?

 

[Brandon Van de Graaff]

One game, only one of those first games is one I would watch. After that, maybe two games I would watch. I'm not sour grapes, but Ai don't think Clemson, Arizona State, Boise State, SMU, Ohio State or Texas belong in. The fact Oregon, the one seed got screwed more than anything suns it all up.

Yep. Both of these things can be true.... Alabama fell on their face against OU and that was hard to get past. That's on Alabama. But, some of these teams are getting free passes in a system that rewards lesser teams in lesser conferences. That glitch, will get fixed. And it'll be fixed by the 2 conferences that have the power (sorry if that isn't fair to the rest, life sucks) and the TV execs who want (and need) the most eyes watching...

This whole thing will.

I'm all for it!!!

Me too. I meant more of it’s about to quickly expand in size with Bama players putting their names in today since we are out.

The idea of that sucks for us fans. Fought for years to get good home and homes, and blown up in one year.

 

[Crimson&WhiteGecko]

I get everybodies sentiment & disappointment, as am I.

However, 'Bama, this team made it's bed. Championship level teams do NOT let other teams or committees determine their outcome. Hopefully, this will convict players to step it up & make sure they prepare for the next season to leave no doubt where 'Bama should be placed.

I don't see it like that. Some of these teams are getting their cake today. They better enjoy it. In the future, playoff guarantees will favor the SEC and B1G heavily, IMO. It might be another year of this, but this was the start of the system getting rewired.

 

[bamaledge]

Texas is going demolish Clemson.

 

[BamaFan334]

At a restaurant in Athens and the entire place started clapping when they called SMU's name. That right there shows they didn't want any part of us and just another way for them to cheer without actually beating us.

Who cares. Let them opt out. I’d rather see the kids that will be playing next year. The Game is a glorified scrimmage.

Yep. If Ohio State or Oregon had 3 losses, and one of them was as bad as Bama's was to OU... say Ohio State or Oregon lost @ Rutgers 24-3 and also dropped a game @ Minnesota where they were favored by 14. Most all of us would be saying they didn't belong, regardless of who they did beat.

Agreed Bama made their bed.

Wonder if we could opt out as a team and not play at all. Not going to happen but I would be all for that too.

Not lose by 24 or what ever it was. To a sub 500 team

 

[Rolltide24]

I don’t think any of us are really surprised. Except Terry maybe. We knew SMU needed to win and a Clemson win would almost surely kick us out. I know Terry tried to tell us that game didn’t matter and lead the horses to water and all that, but we really knew we weren’t in if Clemson won unless they just mailed them by 30 or something. Maybe today we can hear what bowl game we are slotted for so we can move on. And learn which players are bolting for greener pastures.

 

[Secondand26]

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

Did you think he was bullshitting or that he had legitimate leaked information?

We probably got in last year because of scheduling ( and their qb hurt).
