Real reason why Bama at #6

Really, if you're outside the top 4 after the championship games, who cares?

UT had a golden opportunity and were in command of their own destiny and completely wet the bed. The USC game was not just a bad loss, it was an embarrassing effort and result. Even with Hooker hurt, if UT was at 11-1 they would be at minimum #5, likely #4. I guarantee that the committee struggled to put USC at #4 - their defense is abysmal. At least UT's defense showed up a couple of times during the season.

This committee said that it considers injuries, according to Joe Klatt. I haven't checked it myself. I will say that this committee has been awful. Greg McElroy also opined that Alabama should be behind Tennessee for reasons stated here and that Tenn should be awarded the Sugar Bowl.
A rare glimse at the committee trying to justify ranking Bama ahead of Tennessee.
 
I've said the exact same thing. They are hedging themselves. If it were to happen and it could....They want Bama-Young over UT-Milton.

But the Sugar Bowl will want Tennessee with Milton over Alabama with Young opting out. Don’t be surprised to see Tennessee jump Bama if Ga wins convincingly. They can use that as a ******** excuse
 
Nah, the real reason is because the committee hopes USC and TCU loses, so they can get Bama in.
And if we take care of our biz vs SCjr, bama's not in a position to backdoor the playoffs. We screwed the pooch and now it's coming back to haunt us.
