The worst part of this poll is OSU getting absolutely dog-walked at home and only dropping 3 spots. I could see it on the road but at home.
I think it should be the same top 4 then 5-Bama 6-UT 7-OSU.
I’d love to put us at 5 but after getting drilled by USCe and losing Hooker, I don’t see it happening. It’s the best teams NOW, that Hooker injury changes things

The Hooker injury means we're not a top 5 team in the country today, but the rankings are purportedly about your resume. Injuries are not a factor.

I have no amnesia. However, I do have common sense. Do you have a counter argument or do you just want to pop off condescending smart azz remarks that you can’t back up?

I wish we were ahead and can see a strong argument since we beat them but they lost their games by a combined 4 points and we lost ours by like 39 iirc. I can see that as a strong argument too.

Why are you only focusing on the losses? This is so stupid.

Name a team, with a better than 8-4 record, that Alabama has beaten in 2022. Shouldn't you actually have to beat at least one good team at some point?

If the only criteria for making the CFP from now on, is you can't have any blowout losses, while your number of quality victories is meaningless ... then that will only encourage teams to play as weak a schedule as possible. Quality wins should matter, and Alabama doesn't have any.

Alabama is 0-2 against the AP Top 20.
Tenn is 2-2.

I can't believe all of this chatter about "their losses are better than ours."

None of these idiots ever answer the question :

Who has Alabama beaten that is worth a damn this season?

For someone who bet $3k on Clemson your opinion carries zero weight.

LOL.

I'm not stating an opinion,

South Carolina did beat Clemson on the road. Alabama hasn't beaten a team which is currently ranked in any of the polls. Those are facts.

Seriously ... who is the best team that Alabama has beaten in 2022? Somebody answer. Quit talking about how close their losses were and name a good team that they have beaten. Why can't you do it?

Evidently it’s better than getting blown out by a terrible team.

What they should and should not focus on is subjective in the absence of guidance. You have what you factor as more important and others have other things.

Shouldn't you have to beat at least one quality opponent to be considered for a playoff to determine the National Championship? You guys who only want to talk about losing close games, while ignoring head-to-head matchups are ridiculous. I will say it again ... Alabama has beaten absolutely nobody.

You don’t get it. I don’t necessarily disagree with your points. I would have put us ahead. The thing is though there are other ways to weigh things and they are not all completely without merit.

Placing more weight on only losing close games ... than actually ever having to beat anyone with a pulse is asinine.
