2 loss Bama in playoff

[House of Neyland]

Do you think a 2 loss Bama team if they lost a close game to Georgia in the SEC title game deserves a spot in the playoff? There is a good chance of that happening apparently. Myself I would rather see a undefeated Cincinnati or a 1 loss Notre Dame team over a 2 loss Bama team seriously screw Bama they got help in 2011 when they didn’t even win their division and 2017 too and won the National title both years.

I’ll be objective here. If they’re one of the best 4 teams then yes they should make the playoff. With as weak as the competition is I think Bama is definitely a top 4 team, and a loss to UGA in the SECCG wouldn’t change that.

Would I want them to? Yes. Because given a second chance against UGA and preventing them from winning a natty would be hilarious.

Yea it would be hilarious the prospect of it happening is making some Dawg fans nervous

Notre Dame getting shellacked in the playoff would be really annoying to watch. I’d rather see Cincinnati because at least they aren’t Notre Dame.

Normally I would say they would put them in but they are not typical dominant Alabama this year. I don’t see how they could justify putting any 2 loss team over the other teams that are vying for the playoff this year. Ultimate chaos would have to occur for Alabama to make it in with 2 losses this year.

It’s a decent chance of it happening they were saying if the pac 12 and Big 12 eliminate itself. It could be Georgia , Bama, Ohio St and Cincinnati

Because the other teams suck.

Yep need Oregon to win out to prevent this mess.

 

[VolPack22]

Let’s say Oregon slips up while Michigan, Michigan St, Notre Dame, and Oklahoma St all win out and finish with 1 loss. Alabama, Ohio St, and Oregon fall out with 2 losses each. In this scenario, it should be Georgia, Michigan St, Cincinnati all definitely in. Then you have a debate between Michigan, Notre Dame and Oklahoma St for that last spot. Oklahoma St is a 1-loss conference champion, while the other 2 teams only losses are to the number 2 and 3 ranked teams in the country at season’s end. This is a big “IF” and I highly doubt it shapes out this way but all those teams would be deserving over a 2-loss Alabama in this scenario.

I don’t see it happening. Michigan may only lose 1 and that’s to OSU. I think OSU wins the B10 so that means they are in. If Oregon wins out, they are likely in, especially with the win over OSU looking better and better. ND may actually creep in. I just don’t see a scenario, if things play out like we think, that Bama gets in with 2 losses. Especially given the fact that the TAMU loss doesn’t look good.

 

[golfballs]

I think people only know that Oregon beat Ohio St, but other than that they haven’ been impressive at all. They lost to Stanford. That would be like Bama losing to South Carolina or Missouri

Michigan has already lost one. To Michigan state

 

[DeepSpringsVol]

Well here if Oregon loses again and Ohio State does as well then yes Bama would be better than anyone else with 1 or 2 losses. I just dont know if Oregon and Ohio State each have 1 loss and Bama has 2 if they can get in over Cincinnati. I think at that point the Bearcats will be in Bama is out. Which I think Oregon will have to beat Utah twice which they certainly can but it will be tough in such a short period. So I think they get knocked out. Ohio Stat on the other hand is playing like the Ohio State we are accustomed to compared to Big 10 and I feel no way they lose to Michigan St or Michigan and definitely not in the Big 10 title game.

So again to me the only way a 2 loss Bama team gets in if Oregon loses.

No interest in seeing Notre Dame get blown out again in the playoffs. I think Bama will beat Georgia in the SECCG and they both get in. Georgia won't beat Bama with Bennet at QB.

 

[Zues1]

Sure put Bama in, Nick wins another national to pass the Bear with 7 at bama.
He would then have 8 national titles and hopefully ride off into history and go fishing.
Maybe in 50 years if the game is still around someone " might" have a shot at his record.

Bama will be in the playoffs when Mr Saban tells the committee to put Bama in the playoffs

A two loss Bama is still better than the other options. I would like to see Bama beat UGA in the SECCG, then UGA get tossed by Oregon in the playoffs.

Exactly. 6-4 MissSt gets ranked because, and only because, Bama needs another "quality" win on their resume even though the 'dogs have two "piss poor" losses on their resume to LSU and Memphis.

Unless chaos happens I doubt a 2 loss team makes it. Bama would need OU, Cincy, Notre Dame, Oregon, and the B1G contenders to all drop to 2 losses. It’s theoretically possible, just not likely.

I don't think they'll put a 2 loss Alabama in the playoffs. My bold prediction is that they beat Georgia in the SECCG and both will then make the playoffs with one loss.

They’re top 25 in Sagarin and FPI. I guess the computers are rigged in favor of Bama too.

Trending that way. They want UGA in to take the throne but I don't see UGA being good enough to win the SECCG, and two playoff games.

 

[SGMVols]

If it’s a close loss to UGA, I actually could see them getting in if Cincinnati doesn’t go undefeated. Either OSU or Michigan is guaranteed a second loss since they haven’t played each other yet.

I'd bet the house on 'ol Jim losing to tOSU. It's about as guaranteed as death and taxes.

Still have Notre Dame, Oregon, OU, and OkS with one loss. Not sure a 2 loss, non conference champ bama gets in over all those teams assuming Cincy and OSU drop out.
