ND 9 Bama 10 Miami 11 BYU 12 committed avoids having to deal with ND vs Miami. Barely punish the CCG losers. Keep Bama in.

Two penalties and a referee screen and Bama scores.

Holy shit you dipshits: 9-3 Texas is probably in the playoffs
SEC doesnt call the shots though. The Citrus Bowl and their money do.

Posted this elsewhere. Our real concern is losing a strong bowl matchup against Michigan to a Bama rematch. If Bama were to fall out, it will absolutely fuck us.

Bama has the highest TV eyeballs in football. It’s going to also test out ability to play a good bowl game. May jeopardize more than CFP.

And we can solve that with a 12 team SEC schedule and no OOC games.

I guess it also could be about us if Bama gets left out. Bama vs Michigan rematch would be salivating. Might fuck our good bowl matchup.

It’s less about us than ND and Miami both getting in should Bama get their shit pushed in. thread title should for sure be changed.

I’m certainly aware. But we’ve left out two other teams on tiebreaking procedure. None of whom played head to head. and the original gist of the argument was “what happens if Bama loses this badly, should they be penalized for losing the CCG they made that others didn’t?” and the answer is absolutely yes. Texas shouldn’t be behind Bama getting embarrassed. Separate but very potentially related argument.

I genuinely hope you didn’t graduate from my university.

I call them conflating two different concepts, one of which is incredibly weak given the tiebreakers in CCG vs CFP, and the fact nobody but you is arguing your point. if Bama loses badly, it should be held against them. Because they didn’t earn their spot on the CCG any more than Ole Miss or A&M.

It’s immediately obvious how much better these teams are than many top teams.

Move along with your trying to create a new argument.

Correct. They will prove the are a top 12 team
-
Holy shit you dipshits: 9-3 Texas is probably in the playoffs
There are no tiebreakers in the CFP

If Bama wins a tiebreaker over Ole Miss, and gets the honor of playing in the CCG, and gets embarrassed, it should damn well fucking count against them.

We are talking about CCG tiebreakers dude.

This. As much as we want to truly believe it’s only about W/L record, we lost a game badly that we shouldn’t have. That was the killer. If one of our three losses was to a top 5 team instead, we would have a stronger argument. Then again, we’d have one fewer win against a top ranked opponent that we currently have.

Nobody getting in on a tiebreaker other than a head to head tiebreaker is more deserving than another team.

Bama backed into the CCG on a tiebreaker. The fuck they earned it.

Wasn’t speaking precisely to Texas. We don’t have the same number of senior starters bound for the NFL. More a general comment about folks sitting out meaningless bowl games.

There will be money involved. Payouts like the CFP, just less. So there is certainly school incentive.
