Clemson/ Bama

[temptn]

SMU best wins are Duke Louisville and TCU. And lost to BYU and Clemson. Sorry SMU shouldn't make the playoffs IMO. I hate Bama but I would put them over SMU all day. I'd be shocked if Bama was left out, because of just the name. SEC will get 4 just like the Big Ten. 1 Big 12, 1 ACC, Notre Dame, and Boise State.

If you lose to Vandy should be an automatic disqualification.

I can’t stand Bama either and really don’t think they get in. SMU losing close will not bounce them from the 12..,imo. Bama shouldn’t have lost to Oklahoma so badly, and Vandy. Yes they have all the talent in the world but they do not deserve it with late OK loss… does anyone really think that UT or others (SC, etc) would get benefit of doubt that Bamas getting right now?

With Clemson taking a guaranteed spot now, the Committee is going to have a hard time justifying keeping their golden child Bama in the playoffs. Don't see them in and happy about it.

I won’t be surprised if Bama gets in and SMU is left out. At all.

Simple justification actually - Bama beat the team (Georgia) that will be seeded # 2. Who did SMU beat among the top 12?

 

[volfan102455]

And yes you could use that argument for others in the top 12.

If Clemson wins, does this take Bama out of the playoffs? Supposedly SMU will not be penalized if they loose the ACC.

Yes, and that's my final answer.

Anybody have some of the noise from the Bama web boards? I'll bet the whining there is priceless.

Alabama will almost certainly continue to be a good program under Kalen DeBoer and will likely find themselves in the 12-team playoffs in recent years. But the Crimson Tide got a reality check of what life after Nick Saban is like in 2024.

The Crimson Tide are no longer the best program in the country. They’re no longer elite. They’re simply another good SEC program.
