There should be an automatic dis-qualifier

I'm not saying we would BUT if we had 3 losses everybody here would be pounding the table about how we deserve that last spot. This site would melt down if we were automatically left out just because of 3 losses.

A big consensus on here was we wouldn’t get in with 2 losses after the Georgia game. There would be some obviously, but I don’t think there would be a lot advocating for TN with 3 losses. Especially if we lost to Vandy.

Honestly they may but I wouldn't . Bama lost 2 games to unranked opponents . And didnt score a TD against the Sooners few weeks ago.

you're not wrong. the goalpost can be moved to fit whatever they want it to look at. look at those bad losses. look at good wins. head to head. they can change it every week.

I want bama out as much as anybody but i have a hard time looking past the head to head wins vs ole miss and sc. those have to have heavy weight or don't play a regular season.

If we had a 3rd loss to vandy (same as bama) and had the head to head win over bama.....you think people wouldn't be going nuts today that we should be ahead of them in the 12th spot? (thankfully we don't have to worry about it haha)

There might not be 12 teams some years with 2 losses or less from worthy programs. That might trigger small programs like Army getting in ahead of a better SEC team.

When Army did get their chance to stand up and be counted, they mailed it in. Of course UNI really pissed off ND. If ND had won that game, they'd have regressed to their typical 9-3 season.

Why are you crying about someone else making it? UT literally made it. Alabama has every right to make it. They are better than Miami. There are always 2 and 3 loss teams around the 12-15 spots in the polls.

I'd go so far as to say USCe would beat Miami right now. Ole Miss and UGA are like a box of chocolates. You never know what QB you're gonna get. Milroe has the unique ability to play the exact opposite of the opponents talent.

I have a hard time looking past any team , in this case Bama picking up their third loss late in the season , to a bad Oklahoma team .

Agreed.

The technology and coders have long been available to these qualifying parameters and all you have to do is plug in 60 game results each week, and let the sorting sort itself. Take the Herbie effect out of it. Take parts of what the BCS was supposed to do and jack up the coding. Then it is done and set for the season. With today's computer kids, this realistically is not insumountable nor over-whelming to set up.

Some of us are capable of having more than one thought at the same time. I am beyond ecstatic that our VOLS made the first ever 12 team CFP and I think we are peaking at the right time and poised to make a run . I am also tired of the Bama bias year in year out . No other 3 loss team losing to a 6-6 vandy and losing late in the season to a 6-6 Oklahoma , would be anywhere near the playoffs.

That team would have settled around #19-21 without the A logo.

Here's my take on the season as a whole:

1. "We" always knock the quality of the B1G top to bottom. (Even Herbie and other squawkers said this year that the top half of the Big 10 and others are .500 teams in the SEC).

2. A universally accepted weak Pac12 of recent years+ disbanded and the supposed 4 best teams of the P12 went B1G. The best team of the P12 instantly posts a 12-0 run into the B1G title game. The other 3 Big Teams that were big fish in the P12 floundered in the B1G. Oregons conference opponents are 3 games under .500 on the regular season over-all. 17 games under .500 in conference play. Oregon only had 2 ranked wins at the time of play.

3. Oregons weak as crap schedule and their dominance of the B1G made a mockery of that conference IMO. The other 3 should have been an embarrasment to whoever invited them in.

4. Yes, Texas also waltzed into the SEC straight to the title game. By our standards they had a weak conference schedule. By national opinion it was tougher than any conference schedule they'd have had elsewhere. And atleast a bad OK team atleast made it to 6-6.
