I can see that argument.

The single biggest issue is that it takes a dozen years to play a home-and-home with the entire conference. Due away with divisions and it can be cut down to four.

Due away...?

You can forget about making that Editor's position.

To me, it's simple:

If UGA beats LSU, then LSU, UGA, Ohio State and Clemson.

IF UGA loses to LSU, then LSU, Ohio State, Clemson, and Oklahoma.

I think Bama is out. Their resume is weak. Oklahoma's resume is better as long as they win out.

Oregon will be in the discussion, but their schedule is weak too (as is anyone in the Pac-12 or whatever they are).

If Penn State beats Ohio State, then we could have some serious issues.

But I fully anticipate it will be LSU, Ohio State, Clemson, and Oklahoma.

I don't think Bama has a better resume than Oklahoma if both only have one loss. Oklahoma has had some solid wins this season. Bama....hasn't.

Correct. Bama absolutely needs OU to drop another game. Them losing to Baylor in the title game would really help.

Bama just needs to worry about Auburn. Bama/Auburn, UGA/A&M, Ohio State/Penn State, and Oklahoma/Oklahoma State can really upset the apple cart big time in the next two weeks.

You're right about that.

All that being said, I don't think it matters. Even before losing Tua, this Bama defense isn't championship quality. We're now down 5 guys in the front 7. It's just not gonna happen this year.

Yeah, someone pointed out to me that including this year, Bama hasn't won its own division 2 of the last 3 years. They're still a great team, but it just never felt like they were on the same level this year as in other championship years.

But of course, next year, they'll reload, and be just fine again, I'm sure.

I dont think it will matter honestly. LSU/UGA winner, OSU, Clemson, then Oregon/Utah winner, all of which should have a much better claim to be in the playoff IMO than ua.

Yes, at this point, I have both Oklahoma and the Utah / Oregon winner in ahead of a Tua-less Alabama.

If it was an 8 team playoff, I would have Clemson, LSU, Penn St, Ohio St, Georgia, Oklahoma, Oregon / Utah winner as the first seven. If Bama wins big over Auburn, I would take them as 8th team. If not, come on down Minnesota.

Lmao. Bama at 8? No one hates those guys more than me no way they are past 5 Georgia lost to South Carolina. Bama lost by 5 to the #1 team. You are gangsta.

Saban's best Alabama team was probably that 2009 team, the very first title-winning team.

That is a great thought process..

I'm taking Ohio State in an overtime thriller against Penn State.

And, Georgia upsets LSU.

Top 10 in order without Tua:
  • Ohio State
  • Clemson
  • Georgia
  • LSU
  • Penn State
  • Oklahoma
  • Oregon
  • Minnesota
  • Alabama
  • Utah
Semi-final games are:
Ohio State vs LSU
Georgia vs Clemson
