The committee will absolutely keep Bama in at 10 if they lose. We weren't harmed by losing to Georgia last year. The SEC and Big 10 loser still gets a spot because Ole Miss, Oregon, and aggy didn't do enough to qualify.
Lots of angry posting like calling other people retards and pussies now so I see we've actually gone back a step in the grieving process to the Anger stage.
I've argued that Georgia is the reason we had an insurmountable deficit to overcome in the CFP. We went from 10 to 17. We didn't drop to 17 because of losing to Ohio State in late August.
No, the SEC scheduled those games. Just like it scheduled us to play Florida and Georgia. I have no issue saying we should be ahead of OU since we beat them head to head. I do think it's silly to say we should be ahead of aggy when they didn't lose any other SEC games. Yeah, they benefited from a soft schedule as did we last year.
ESPN's projection
Cheez-It Citrus Bowl
Camping World Stadium (Orlando, Florida)
3 p.m., ABC
Bonagura: Michigan vs. Texas
Schlabach: Michigan vs. Texas
They have Vandy in the Gator or Reliaquest. The SEC gets a say in the bowl matchups so they'll want favorable matchups in each one.
The SEC does not allow this. We have to have at least one P4 team. Take it up with Sankey but he's not removing that because he has a bunch of long time SEC teams that play out of conference in-state and border state rivals.
No, Miami will be ahead of us when they really should have Notre Dame's spot. If Bama is out then Miami is in. God dammit, look what you made me do.
Is this the bargaining stage?
This is what Sankey needs to push for. Everyone should have the same scheduling. We're now there on conference games. It needs to be the same for P4 requirements in OOC. Indiana should not be allowed 3 gimmies.
No. People will still hold out hope that Bama losing to Georgia will help us. I actually think the committee will place us around 11 or 12 just to fuck with everyone. Then we drop for "reasons" like not having an additional data point.
