🏈 Missouri passing Bama.

[son of tradition]

Do you guys think this is justified?

 

[Duder]

I personally don't. I figure they'll drop one in Lincoln this week and it won't matter anyway.

They jumped Bama because of the computer polls. The computers love a team that knocked off a #1 and is currently undefeated.

If Mizzou loses at Nebraska, then that will take care of itself. However, if they beat Neb in Lincoln, even though Texas has already done it, it's a big accomplishment, and Mizzou probably deserves to pass us. The better teams are going to rise to the top.

We dropped one at South Carolina. We don't control the world anymore. That's our fault. Bama just needs to win, and have Mizzou lose at Neb and MSU lose at Iowa, and to me, we're in the thick of it again.

I like Alabama vs. TCU in the final showdown...

i think it is.. they are undefeated and just bumped off #1

 

[bear facts]

Let's not forget if Missouri does run the table during the regular season, they will have a Big 12 Championship game to play, which possibly could be a rematch with Oklahoma on a "neutral" site.

There's a lot of football to be played yet. Bama just needs to stay focused on winning out--that's all they control at this point.

It really doesn't matter at this point. I don't see them winning out. Even if they do win out in the regular season they will have to play OU again. This time on a neutral site and I don't see them winning that one. We have to take care of our business and get some help and we will be fine.

The ONLY poll that matters in the one at the end of the regular season. We (Alabama) still have a lot of football left to be played and so does everyone else ahead or behind us.

 

[bamascw]

I have no problem with Mizzou jumping us, they did beat Oklahoma. However, I think they lose to Nebraska Saturday so it will be moot at that point anyway.

 

[UAgrad93]

Way too much football left to play to worry about Missouri jumping us. Things will play out as long as we take care of business. We win out and I like our chances of getting back to the title game. Everyone has important games in front of us, except Boise State and TCU. I know Boise St has Hawaii and Nevada left and TCU has Utah remaining. Seriuosly though, it is a cake walk in comparison to the big boys.

Thanks Nebraska.
