And losing to a bad Ark team.If Bama’s third loss is in the SECCG, he probably is right. I do not think we get in if we loose Saturday at Georgia. Strength of schedule will come back to haunt us. Mostly, not our fault since OU and NC State failed to show up this year but we do ourselves no favors scheduling UTC, Kent State, and UTEP.
ALSO, our offense wins but is not exceptional.
A big reason it is difficult because they played us, but at the same time the perception is we aren’t good because we lost to Arkansas. Bama also lost to Vandy, and we beat Bama and (hypothetically) Vandy too. OM has a good win and bad loss (like us) but everyone is singing their praises.Typo. Point being, Bama has played a much more difficult schedule. Must beat UGA.
A three loss Bama won’t make it in IMO. I know he’s assuming Bama loses in the SECCG and that being runner up would get them in but there are just too many other teams nationally that will be 11-1 or 10-2 for Bama to get in…I’m not saying that a 10-2 Tennessee gets in - I think we’d be on the bubble because our only quality win would be against a 10-3 Bama and most of our wins are against teams with losing records (or against non power 4 teams).Saying Tennessee better win out because even if Bama were to have 3 losses they should get in over a 10-2 UT team. There are way too many Gumps on media panels these days trying to pump up playoff committees.
Yea, Ole Miss's losses to Kentucky at home and to a very average LSU team should bite 'em in the a$$.A big reason it is difficult because they played us, but at the same time the perception is we aren’t good because we lost to Arkansas.

The inconsistency and bias makes my head spin.
It wouldn't be right, but wouldn't shock me either. They played a tougher schedule, but either way Head to Head should matter. If Ala loses to Auburn, definitely not. If they lose in the SEC Championship, then possibly.Saying Tennessee better win out because even if Bama were to have 3 losses they should get in over a 10-2 UT team.

And let’s not forget, if we beat Vandy then that’s a common opponent on top of the head to head matchup we won as well.It wouldn't be right, but wouldn't shock me either.
