With Tua out, I don't see Bama going to the playoff!

It will depend mostly on what other teams do, or don't do. Mac needs to have two all-SEC games. If LSU loses to UGA in the SECCG, I still expect them to be in. If Ohio State loses, they'll be on the bubble. If Clemson loses, they should be out but will also be on the bubble. UGA is the key.

I think Clemson loses, they have zero chance at getting in. St. Frances and Mater Dei high school teams play tougher schedules than Clemson this year. I also happen to think if Ohio State loses to anyone outside of Penn State they are absolutely done. Losing to Penn State, the only team they play, and a not Top 15 team puts them behind us in my mind, but on the bubble as you stated. We need LSU to win out, it's going to help our case that we lost to the undefeated #1 team that beat a host of Top 25 teams throughout the season.

All Bama fans need to get behind the great State of Arizona this weekend.

Yea we need Utah and Oregon to both drop a game before the end of the year and then Georgia to lose to LSU. Then we need Oklahoma to find another loss too. I doubt all this happens but crazier things have

In my mind it is as simple as us playing well and of course winning and LSU beating UGA. Unimaginable for me to honestly believe if we do that it would be possible for a PAC 12 team to be viewed as being better than Bama. I know thats what the talking heads want to promote but come on really?

We need to beat the barn convincingly and we have a legit argument. Utah needs to lose to Oregon. The barn beat Oregon and that would help us with teams behind us from the PAC12. I think LSU will beat UGA. ohio state will beat Penn St. Clemson will not lose to anyone before playoff time.
We'll be playing for a shot at LSU in the first round.
AND.... none of this will matter at all IF we don't take care of business and STAY FOCUSED! Play every play to dominate!!! ROLL TIDE ROLL!!!
