No. The committee just isn't impressed by us squeaking by average teams like Florida, Kentucky, and Oklahoma. If we were body bagging everyone it would be a different story. We would be ranked ahead of both Texas and Penn State. Our subpar offensive play is what they're punishing.

But it's OK for Georgia to squeak passed Florida and Kentucky.

Sort of a 'damned if you do, damned if you don't thing' for us.

If Bama wins, then they'll put them over us if we lose to Georgia or Vandy.
If Bama loses and we lose to Georgia, then we don't have a quality win.
The one weird scenario is if we beat Georgia and then lose to Vandy, but then we might get punished for a late-season loss.

Our goal has always been ,and always should be , to win the SEC. Do that and everything else works itself out.

Tony Basillo made an interesting point about wanting Bama to lose to LSU.
If you have cynical view regarding the preferential treatment Bama gets and the benefits of doubt they have received in the past, you want Bama to lose.

A 10-2 Bama with a win AT LSU, AT NIGHT likely has a more impressive resume than a (hypothetical) 10-2 Tennessee, even with the head to head. We have already seen how one playoff committee uses head-to-head match-ups to pick teams; see 2022. The Bama brand still has a national media draw—more so than Tennessee, even though we are moving into the forefront—they would get in over us.

Worth a watc.

A 10-2 Vols team gets in if TAMU (home) beats Texas and the Vols play @ UGA closer than did Texas in Austin (15 points).

Alabama-LSU irrelevant.
