Use the link I posted ... you can adjust some games and keep Bama out, but from what I can tell, the only way to keep Bama out of ATL is for Bama to lose.

Are you bi-polar? Calling "chokelahoma" and then saying "acting like we already won?" Is this the Spiderman meme?
Missouri losing their last 2 would slide Bama out, supposedly.

Ive always called them chokelahoma for years, after Boise State… but people are basically acting like the last two games are already won…Oklahoma has a history of beating us, when we are “better”…We must win these last two games to be in the SEC championship and the playoffs..

I think Missouri needs to win 1 of their remaining 3 games as well. According to espn percentages. Then again I was half asleep and could’ve mid-heard

Bama has lost three times; two in '02 and '03 and then again in '14. There is no "history" here.

Was it the Astro-Bluebonnet Bowl in 1969?
I believe the score was lie 37-37, or something along those lines....

Sounds right. I'd have to look it up. It was a thought that struck me...prolly research when Bama visited OU the first time.
Great trip, BTW, I'll get into that this week.

We can always use the RTB research crew (experience) - Calling 64Tide, +50, Josey, etc...
Those guys remember them all!
I watch the game and Bama miss a FG at the last of the 4th.
It was the 1970 BB Bowl game tie 24-24. Bryant vs Chuck Fairbanks.
I believe we need to win the next 3 games to be in the playoffs. To me this is as it should be and the position Bama has put itsefl in losing to the Viles and Vandy. If you can run the next 3 games then you deserve to make the playoff's after already dropping 2. We are now in a position to control what we can control. In the meantime next up is the game OU and that better be the teams focus.

If we win the next 2 we’d be in the playoffs. Instead we’ll have to win 3 with one of them being Texas. The championship game is a penalty at this point with the new system.

For the ACC, yes. How for the SEC?
To be honest, I could actually see the SEC runner up getting in, IF you take a look at SOR and SOS. Texas on the other hand, really hasn’t played anyone worth a shit outside of UGA.
We just need to take care of business these next two weeks and let the chips fall where they may.

It's still really too early to get caught up into the playoff debate web at this point, but for the sake of discussion... The idea that if Bama makes it to Atlanta, but loses, and they are left out, is not really based in any solid reality that we can point to. The 12 team playoff is not a 4 team playoff, but even in the 4 team playoff we saw the Committee place high value on teams that reached their conference championship games, even if they lost. And while I admit that under this new format, there is some unknown territory, based on how they've handled things in the past, and based on what Bama's analytical numbers would look like if they win their next 2, I just don't see them leaving UA home, barring an absolute disastrous showing in the SECCG. That said, if Bama has a rematch with the Vols in Atlanta, I'd be a tad nervous of Bama advancing (as of now), if the Vols were to win again. But on that same token, if Bama went 0-2 against the Vols this season, they don't deserve s shot at the trophy.
One other thing I'll mention... for those wanting Bama to just claim a seed 9-12... that's fine. But you're then looking at Bama playing on the road, and possibly in a cold weather game, which wouldn't be ideal. If they could luck up and get Miami? Sure. But don't overlook the difficulty of this team going into a cold weather environment on the road, even against a lesser team. Either give me a 5-8 seed, or give me the SECCG win and bye.

My memory says the 1970 season. Richard Cowboy Ciemeny missed a chip shot field goal to win game.
