Real reason why Bama at #6

[Dougie_D]

Hooker is out for the season. Milton doesn’t have the media star power that any of these other QBs have. 1 game vs Vandy isn’t gonna get you hype points.

 

[OrangeDrip]

Nah, the real reason is because the committee hopes USC and TCU loses, so they can get Bama in.

It was the best cigar I ever smoked watching all the greatest fans on earth rip those goal post down. It was glorious just as good as 1998

I'm failing to see "star player going out with an injury" in this photo ...

If that were the case they’d be #5.

 

[hog88]

OP isn’t completely wrong.

What he’s saying is, with a USC and TCU loss, committee will put bama and Ohio state ahead of them.

Give ‘em hell man

 

[VolBricks]

they are at 6 because little Nicky called his buddies and told them Bama needed to be ahead of TN no matter what number that is.

We lost our shine when Hooker went down

 

[wmcovol]

The committee is protecting themselves in case TCU and USC completely sh!t the bed this week.

They don’t wanna be faced with a Tennessee at 6 with the QB hurt.

We lost our shine when Hooker went down

'Shine' wasn't one of the five criteria listed. We should be ranked ahead---pure politics.

 

[VeeOhElEsYes]

I'm at the point to where I wouldn't mind if Bama snuck in and beat Georgia

We lost our shine when Hooker went down

No, we lost our shine when USCjr beat us down. That was a very ugly loss late in the season.

He’s not wrong but none of it lines up with the protocol that the. CFP claims to follow. The CFP is a fraud.

The real reason

Bama was 7th previously
Tennessee was 10th

That’s the ONLY reason.

Your not jumping folks with a Vandy win.

No need to message fire at me…..I didn’t put Bama at 7 or Tennessee at 10.

Actually both of you all are right.

What stick did you smoke? I smoked a $30 Davidoff after the Bama win and was well worth it! lol

Brand bias. That is why. CFP committee changes their ranking criteria to fit the narrative that Alabama should be ranked higher.

Same rationale for a Clemson falling only one spot after losing to SCar at home. . . It is Clemson…even if they had a weak schedule.

It for Ohio St. falling only 3 spots after getting beat by three TDs at home. . . It is OSU even if they really didn’t have any quality wins.

TCU will get rolled by K-State. USC will trash Utah

The reason Bama is it 6 is cause ESPN wants them there.... A player hurt should not influence anything... Body of work... Head to head... Beyond me how simple it should be yet media throw so much garbage around to cloud everyone

That doesn’t matter, they weren’t gonna drop them below us when they won, but with that said if they want to stay true to their criteria after the final games and both with the same record we should be ahead of Bama.

hey I’m not in disagreement

However if they felt Tennessee was 10th last week and Bama was 7th…….they weren’t going to put Tennessee of Bama this week.
