[bcracker]

After beating Miss State, Alabama jumps to number one in the playoff rankings.

1. Alabama
2. Oregon
3. Florida State
4. Mississippi State

Roll Tide. All that worrying by folks for nothing. Control that destiny.

 

[It Takes Eleven]

Still much football left to play, so it's still one at a time. A game against a directional school could have us slipping next week.

RTR,

And we'd have a rematch of last Saturday in the playoffs, if we started today!

Look like if this go out, we will be playing Miss. St. again.

Jeff Long: Alabama's win over Mississippi State was decisive and that the committee thinks Bama is the "most complete team in the country"
Bama the same team from last week. We were No#4 or #5.

These guys are so f'ing consistent at being inconsistent. We move up 4 spots because we beat the number one...yet Oregon / Ohio State don't take a hit for losing to an unranked team at home. TCU didn't control the game vs Kansas. Shaking my head.

What a joke...

 

[PhillyGirl]

Just read that #1 at season's end gets to pick the venue: Rose or Sugar. Is that true? I hadn't heard that before.

 

[alabama mike]

Just win baby! RTR

Was Arizona unranked at that point?

Nope.

 

[Rolltide24]

I was thinking Arizona was u ranked when they beat Oregon, but I guess it doesn't really matter.

What sucks is... We're 1-1 against teams in the new top 25. A&M and LSU tanking I would think would have hurt us more. And WVU...

My understanding was 1 and 4 go to the Rose and 2-3 meet at the Sugar. If given the choice, particularly against a west coast team, we'd surely pick the Sugar.

 

[jlabit]

To make it into the playoffs, we have to win out. If we win out, we are the number one seed. Looks like we have no choice but being number one seed if we are getting in. I just hate having that number one target on our back now. I would prefer to be lower rated, but in the top four. To get to Championship # 16 we need to go undefeated so it really doesn't matter. If we can stay healthy, no one can beat us. We have enough hard core fans to fill up the Rose Bowl. RTR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[jlabit]

I just heard on WKRG TV in Mobile that the number one seed gets to pick either the Sugar or Rose Bowl. Sportscaster Randy Patrick says if Bama wins out, they choose the Sugar Bowl in New Orleans for the playoff. He ought to know what he is talking about.

 

[TerryP]

When they were announcing how this was set up, it was said "the committee will protect the two top seeds from playing in a road environment." There was no mention of the #1 seed being able to choose where they play. I can't see why this is even a subject.

If Oregon is the #1 seed, they'll want to play close to home. If it's Bama, same situation applies. If it's TCU, they're going to want to play in New Orleans instead of Pasadena.

True. But, that doesn't mean he does, right?

 

[UAgrad93]

I believe the higher seeded team in the matchup gets the geographic home field. BAMA at #1 or #2 would be placed in NOLA as long as F$U isn't seeded at #1 and us be at #2.

True and I really can't see that happening. Surely, this doofus-wad committee can see that Bama v. UGA/Mizzou trumps F$U v. Ga Tech.
