I mean I don’t like Bama either but that’s just blatantly false, SC and Ole Miss have three losses and were both in the convo for the last spot. Granted I woulda went with Ole Miss but that’s just me
I agree but I can understand the argument for why they are in at the same time. They had a stronger schedule and played better vs the best teams in the country. That said I dont think they deserve to be in just because they played a harder schedule. I think wins and losses SHOULD matter but by putting them in the playoff the committee is saying that it doesnt matter who you lose tp and it only matters who you beat.
They also lost to an unranked Vandy team. Ohiostate lost 2 games by a combined 4 points but also won 2 top 5 match ups. Alabama gets a pass because of the fan base and it's BS.
No matter how screwed a team is to be deemed "13th" instead of "12th", it's still SOOOOOOO much better than arguing who is the "2nd" vs "3rd" best team (which until this year, used to decide a shot at the national championship). Maybe a team with 2 or 3 losses gets screwed, but it used to be UNDEFEATED teams were getting screwed. This is a way better system overall.
Strongly agree. This should be the discussion. 5-12 are lucky to even be invited. If you're crying about being 13th or 14th instead of 12th, you should be thankful to even be in the conversation with the new system.
Yeah after the FSU debate last year or the UCF debate a couple of years ago its good to see that an undefeated team would have a real shot. Especially since its the 5 highest ranked conference champions. Its not just the P4 champs plus the best G5 champion. There was a real chance that the Big 12 champion could have been left out if Army had managed to upset Notre Dame because if they did that and ended undefeated and won their conference championship I dont know how you could have justified leaving them out with a win on the road vs a top 10 team
@@gothard5 Yeah, you're correct, but it does give less ammo to them, and I'd bet we'll see a lot fewer bogus national championship claims after the playoffs.
@@RobertReital I'm very happy that they aren't doing the BCS style of "the champions of these specific conferences plus one more", it's made Boise State's path much more satisfying this year.
@@Mike88Gthat's subjective given all their good wins are in the sec. The problem is the obvious bias sec has in college football and the lack of awareness when certain teams like bama are a notch below what they usually are. Big 10 generally gets same treatment.. . We're also talking about the last position in playoffs, so realistically who ever the committee chooses, their not going to be that dominant play off team. There will be something about them to question..
I agree. I’d rather have undefeated or 1 loss teams that have ZERO top 25 wins get in like Texas, SMU, Boise State, Penn State, Notre Dame, Indiana and Arizona State. Kind of amazing that all these teams haven’t beaten a good team all season.
The U are punks. Always will be. Post Jimmy Johnson. Miami fan since Schnellenberger. No, as much as you try to dress up those convicts, thats a convict program
" behind Bama" They are only "behind Bama" because Bama got a favorable ranking despite getting worked by a bad Oklahoma team. I do appreciate the honesty tho. I have read posts on Bama forums and overwhelming their fans don't think they should be in the playoffs. Miami should get in with their 2 losses, IMO. There D is bad but offense is really good. Syracuse is ranked and Georgia Tech loss not looking so bad after the Georgia game. I digress... South Carolina is playing much better football than Alabama ( Ole Miss is too if we're being honest) The 'eye test' criteria was supposed to mean something according to the committee. And before you reply " we beat SC head to head", I'll let you know you're talking to a Tennessee fan. We were getting left out for Bama just 2-3 weeks ago even tho we beat Bama head to head and were beating Georgia before some really questionable calls. Tennessee should have never lost to Arkansas. I own that, and the team should own that. That was a bad loss. If we played them again right now we'd beat them for sure. Having said that, I was fine with Tennessee being left out a couple weeks ago, but only because I felt Ole Miss and Texas Tech were playing better football at the time. At some point you just have to put your fandom to the side in favor of being an honest person.
@@chriskeith5742 if Ole miss had of made it I would be fine. Alabama had the head to head with South Carolina but i could still see the logic. All 3 have shown the capability to be elite if they put it together. Miami never has. Miami has done literally nothing to show they can play at a playoff level. They havent beaten a ranked team, they havent dominated their lesser opponents. The offense is good but they are giving up 40 to bad offenses. What have they done to show they can play with anyones best game?
@@davidlevins7646 Mami's lack of quality wins definitely hurts them if you compare them to another 2 loss team. They found ways to not get that 3rd loss, tho. Alabama didn't. And it's not just that Alabama lost 3 it's the 2 bad losses that stick out the most. Ole Miss's and Miami's losses were all close. Real close. Bama got boat raced by Oklahoma. Oklahoma is not good this year. Losing to them is one thing, getting boat raced is another. Add that to getting beat by Vandy and that is pretty ugly. Ole Miss boat raced SC. I am probably with you on them. Eye test and all they probably deserve that last spot. If Miami got in over them I guess I couldn't complain tho because Ole Miss should have never lost to KY ( especially at home) and they had their chance to beat Flordia at the end of the year and make it to an SEC championship. Miami also boat raced Flordia. So there's that.
3 loss alabama vs 3 loss georgia who played an extra game and lost in the championship game is not the same thing. Not an SEC fan but those aren't the same thing
@@BackyardAquatics-o2m Teams have ups and downs. You think the AL that faced GA was the same team that faced OK? Head to head matters, but the rest of the body of work does too. Tyler's right that an extra loss from the championship can't be considered as big a deal as the regular season loss. In the same way, the final top 12, after conference games are done but before the playoff starts, should be considered the final top 12. All but 1 of them are guaranteed to lose an extra game. Any of them could possibly rise to #1, but they cannot drop below the non-playoff line. That wouldn't make any sense.
And the quality of the losses are not even close GA lost to Bama by one touchdown and lost to a really good Ole Miss team. What’s interesting is how Ole Miss beat GA by more pints and later in the season yet the Bama Georgia win seems to count much more and I would argue Ole Miss also has better quality losses than Bama
Yeah I think the committee knows that if they punish SMU for losing their championship game then teams next season will opt out of the conference championship to keep their spot in the playoffs.
@@evangelionl0vr857 If SMU is any good, they are NOT losing that game. IF they lose it, they should get trimmed out of the playoffs like the fat of a Christmas Ham.
Sorry the conferences are the way they are, it’s a problem. Yeah it sucks for them but these acc teams have zero ranked wins, it creates an inability to compare these teams
If you switched their logo's and SC had the same exact resume that Bama has right now and vise versa, you wouldn't be crying if they put SC in, but big bad bama had to be the one with the best argument so now everyone is crying, so sad :(
ESPN owns the SEC - Why wouldn’t a quarter of the teams be SEC teams. They’ve rigged CFB for years for the SEC; especially for BAMA. It was once said in the beginning of the playoff format that you had to win your conference. Then, they moved the goal post on two different occasions to allow Bama to play for the title. It’s disgusting!
Actually you can make a very strong argument that more SEC teams should get in this year. Half of the playoff bracket doesn’t have a single quality win.
@@Kingepticonmaybe that's because of the bias pre season rankings for the sec.. How many those sec teams have quality wins outside their own conference , not many. They need to do away with preseason ranking , play first 3 or 4 games of the season and rank teams from there., Good example is Texas there win against Michigan looks different now than than week 2 , when they played. The rest thier schedule isn't that impressive, with the exception of loss to Georgia and win against Texas Am. Are they playoff team sure , but their schedule isn't that much different realistically from say a 2 lose Miami team or even a three loss Clemson team.
So SOS matters only for wins but not for teams losses? Guy was tossing out top 25 wins in an alabama vs Miami scenario, but didn’t mention how bad any of their losses were…
@@jamareycarter5550 you’re reiterating my point… teams over .500 is a better indicator because top 25 is voter based. Miami lost one more game when comparing .500 records, and both of Miami’s losses are by one score. Alabama losing to vandy and Oklahoma were worse than Miami’s losses and that’s not even considering Alabama’s third loss. On a different note, since the SEC is valued higher than the ACC, what would your playoff scenario look like if Clemson beats SMU? Clemson would get in as ACC champs but SMU’s only losses would be to BYU and Clemson who are both ranked. Would BYU bump Alabama out?
@@Day2day247teams over .500 is misleading in different ways 10-1 Army who played 1 real team all year is not better than a 4-5 B10 or SEC team. Absurd. A loss to NIU at home is impeachable offense. ND should be the lowest ranked 1 loss team.
Two of Alabamas losses are bad losses, if they had one bad loss and two to ranked opponents sure but loosing to Vanderbilt the joke of the SEC and OU is irredeemable
Vandy wasn't the joke this year. They went 8 -4 they beat some good teams and gave Texas all they wanted. Florida and Miss st are the jokes this year. So Bama had 1 bad loss. Everybody just keeps repeating that vandy is sub .500 which is flat out, NOT TRUE.
I've been screaming this for weeks. Not saying bama is better than 13 14 15 but they bring way more money and traveling fans than them. It's not ok but it is what it is. CFP is now about money than anything it was that way last year with fsu
This was the plan all along. They were always going to do whatever it took to get Alabama in. They'd expand the playoffs to 88 teams if Alabama was ranked 88.
As an Iowa state fan I hope you guys win so there’s at least 1 big 12 team in. I’m convinced if we win then we don’t make it and a Miami or ole miss slides in the 12 spot
@@walkercave3769I appreciate that but I think either one of us wins we will be in. That’s another top 25 matchup on whoever’s resume which should give us the edge over Miami.
@@thierrylepere9828no they won’t. If Georgia loses and has 3 losses Tennessee could jump them and take the home game because they’d be at a lower seed. This whole thing of who’s playing home games isn’t set. If Georgia losses by 14 or more there is a very real possibility it moves around. Not to mention if Oregon blows out Penn state, Ohio state would move up.
How can there not be a difference in data points? It Texas beats Georgia, Georgia is no longer as good a win for teams like Alabama. If Clemson beats SMU, they're a demonstrably better win for South Carolina. We will absolutely have data points.
Besides Oregon, Georgia has twice as many Top 25 wins as the top 4 teams………… combined lol. If Texas beats Georgia it won’t diminish Alabama’s win. Having said that I don’t think Alabama should be in the playoffs no matter what happens on Saturday.
@@br1rocks I disagree. If SMU loses a close game to Clemson I think that knocks Alabama out. If Boise loses a close game to UNLV I think Alabama is out. If both of those things happen then Alabama is definitely eliminated.
regarding 'controversy'. we're talking about the 12th best team in the country and that's potentially a 3 loss team. no 3 loss team should be complaining about not making it in. you lost 3 freaking games. what matters is all the teams that have a clear and strong argument for being the best team in the country are in so that any lingering questions left by a 4 team playoff are answered on the field.
This is it right here. You have 5 conference champions and all the undefeated and 1 loss teams in. Any 2 or 3 loss teams beyond that are basically field fillers.
100%. Just WIN MORE. If you argue you have a harder schedule then stop bragging about how much better you are than the smaller school with the weaker schedule. You have a harder schedule because you’re a bigger program and reasonably have a “better team”.
So you're saying you could schedule the twelve worst 12 teams in college football and win them all and get in when another team is eight and four. But wins five top ten teams should be out. Then that's total b. S . The truth. Is nobody wants to play bama
We're not complaining about not making it, we're complaining about those bastards making it when they deserve it even less than we do. Clearly a business decision by the committee.
For everyone rightly upset about Bama being in - them getting boosted out of the playoffs with a loss to Notre Dame is far more funnier & satisfying then them not being in and having their season over.
@@IlIlIIllllI yeah that would be wild since they lost to the worst team in the SEC and could only score a field goal against OU. But it would definitely prove their doubters wrong. I just believe they need to realize this ain’t Saban’s Alabama anymore. They got spoiled like New England and now look at the Patriots…
@@MsChrishanson no bama scored a touchdown against Oklahoma. bama would smack Oklahoma on a neutral field. every team has bad games. Prove their doubters wrong? youre a doubter. all of cfb fans are. pure jealously over the greatest college football program of all time lmao
The quality games for SEC will drop. Why would I risk playing top quality teams if I love a close one and am forced out, when 4 teams in the top 12 have ZERO "quality wins? This is the absolute worst playoff committee in the history of college football and none of those idiots should ever be near a place to judge for a college football playoff ever again.
I think the long term solution should be no preseason top 25. Wait until about week six to start because by then everyone should have an idea about who is good and who is not.
As an SMU fan, given the fact that we were disrespected for the entire season, it's win-and-we're-in mode. A loss means our season is over, plain and simple.
Shouldnt be.... This "committee" has repeatedly said it would not punish a team for playing a 13th game(Title game). SO.... if SMU does lose, then the committee shouldnt kick them out of the playoffs. If they do, then its hypocritical. I dont think SMU is that great, but you cant make it a BAD thing to play in a conference title game.
@JSum81 I understand what your saying. What I'm saying is strength of schedule and performance should be more important. Smu might be pretty good this year but if you put them against a team in the SEC. Which they haven't played all year they would have a hard time. We don't need tcu Georgia again
@@JSum81I think what should happen is if you’re in the playoffs and play in a conference championship you shouldn’t be penalized, but if you’re on the outside looking in and lose a conference championship I think you should stay out. Example, if Clemson loses they stay out, if they win, both SMU and Clemson get it
@@JSum81 I mean, they *should* punish them though. A loss is a loss. They're only saying that to make conferences refrain from getting rid of championship games. And they have not said it categorically. Basically, their stance now is that they'll pay attention and try not to penalize teams unless they lose horribly (which I still think is too lenient).
IF SMU loses to Clemson then Alabama has to be the first team out. Theyre the lowest ranked at-large team. As long as its not a 50 point blowout for Clemson. If its a 2 score game or maybe a 3 score game where Clemson gets a late score to push it to a 3 score game I think you have to bump Alabama. They may have a good resume vs the top 25 to their credit. BUT, they have 2 very bad losses including a very ugly loss to an Oklahoma team that ended the season at .500.
I wouldn’t really have a problem with bama being in, even with that Oklahoma loss if it wasn’t such a disgusting loss. 24-3 loss in any other college football era would eliminate you from contention 99% of the time. It was such a bad loss it made Indiana’s loss to Ohio st seem like no big deal.
One big question we still don't have an answer to: what if one of the conference champ teams has an injury to a star player like with FSU last year? Can a team that's not in now move in with a high ranked team leaving with a loss and star player injury?
The SMU thing seems pretty easy. They're ranked 8th. If they lose, Clemson takes their spot in the bracket, SMU moves over to the 8th spot and everyone below them slides down the bracket.
I don’t think so. I think Clemson moves to the #12 spot and BoiseSt moves to the #3 spot, the Big12 champion moves to #4 and SMU moves to #11 and knocks Alabama out.
@@riggsmarkham922if you’re knocked out for losing your Conference Championship then there’s no incentive for teams to try to even get to one. If SMU loses they should move down to #11 and Clemson should move to #12.
Let’s get rid of people and their biases and make the rankings done via computers & artificial intelligence. This selection committee is an absolute joke.
The bama homers would cry death to the machines if they got left out. It would be hilarious watching a bunch of zoolanders trying to take down the computers.
If you base your computer algorithm as 1. Strength of schedule 2. Wins over top ranked teams. 3. Overall record. Then guess what? Bama still IN..That is ALL!!!
They've painted themselves into a corner by putting out a ranking this week. There shouldn't be a ranking after the final week of the regular season, just wait until after the conference championships.
As an ohio state fan...ANY OTHER YEAR I can see Bama sec bais....but Bama is trash this year....you can't lose to ou and VANDY AND MAKE ANYONRS PLAYOFFS
@@gothard5Not Ohio State, are you kidding me? Hell no they don’t. They always lose big games or when they face ranked teams they go down. Overrated AF just look at history and stats.

So then can UNLV beat BSU and both teams stay in? There would be 4 losses between them each beating each other once, BSU by a walk off field goal to Oregon and UNLV in over time to Syracuse
This game and the SMU Clemson game are the only games that matter this weekend. Could upend the whole playoff if BSU and SMU both lose. 🙏 I love chaos!
No for the G5 the conference champion comments dont apply. The G5 will always draw the short end in this and this was always a potential issue for the 12 team if you had two difference G5 conference champions its extremely likely that 1 G5 team would always be the max that could make it.
Bammy lost 25% of its games to teams who lost a combined 40% of their games. I don't want to hear another effing word about this overrated team. And, 33% of Bammy's wins were against sublevel cupcakes (WKU, USF and Mercer) who had a 24-12 combined record. Putting Alabama in this playoff is a fg felony.
Florida State and Georgia both missed the playoffs last year. Florida State was undefeated but their starting qb was injured so they did not receive a spot. Georgia was left out because they had a single loss to Alabama in the SEC championship. Both teams played in a bowl game, where Georgia smoked Florida State despite being ranked lower and having a worse record. However, it’s worth noting that many seniors on Florida state opted not to play, so it wasn’t really a fair matchup.
The point of playoffs is to get the subjectivity/bias/corruption out. This system has failed. Go to 8 teams, 7 highest conference champions in the AP poll and highest independent. Eliminates the committee. Ensures the NATION is represented, and preserves the importance of conference championships. Minimizes subjectivity to just the traditional poll. No byes. Equal footing. Objective. True, fair playoff.
I think the 5th conference champion should automatically be the 5th seed and get home field advantage. How can we give 4 champions a bye and home field and the 5th champion is playing on the road round 1?
@@TV99DE Who is ND? That trash school that Bama has destroyed over the last two decades in bowl games. That is who ND is and I might add that ND had the worse loss of the year and it is not even close.
So what would happen if Georgia beats Texas? in the Sec championship game ? How would the playoff picture look then ? Is Texas safe with both lose to Georgia. But what if Texas wins? What would the playoff picture look like?
A lot of EXTREME chaos could still happen according to what Warde Manuel said: If #19 UNLV beats #10 Boise St, both of these teams will get in - forcing #11 Bama out in order to make room for #19 UNLV. This would also mean #15 Arizona St takes the 4 Seed and #19 UNLV will take the 12 Seed. If #18 Clemson beats #8 SMU, both of these teams will get in - forcing #11 Bama out in order to make room for #18 Clemson. This would also mean that #10 Boise St moves to the 3 Seed, #15 Arizona St moves to the 4 Seed, and #18 Clemson moves to the 12 Seed. If BOTH #10 Boise St & #8 SMU get upset - #11 Bama AND #10 Indiana will be forced out in order to make room for #19 UNLV & #18 Clemson. This would also mean that #15 Arizona St gets the 3 Seed, #18 Clemson gets the 4 Seed, and #19 UNLV gets the 12 Seed. For a 12-team playoff, there is a world where three teams ranked outside the Top 12 not only make it into the playoff, but TWO of them actually get first-round byes. This would be BIZARRE.
The G5 will only ever get 1 team in. In the last 25 years only 1 season has ever had 2 G5 teams make a major post season. This includes MULTIPLE SEASONS of 2+ top 8 ranked G5 teams. Its dumb, but if you want multiple G5 teams to make it both teams have to make it so insanely obvious that it would be ridiculous to keep them out and even then they still might get shafted.
@@bigyodatheman Should have - 10000% yes. Would have? ehhh id lean towards no, based on the fact that outside of 2009 no two G5 teams ever made BCS bowls. Like 2004 had #5 MWC Utah, #7 CUSA Louisville and #9 WAC BSU - theoretically all these teams should make a 12 team, but only Utah made the BCS and 3 lower ranked P5 teams made BCS bowls over Louisville and BSU.
@@MattBuild4 Yeah, but this isn't the BCS, though. The eye test for both teams would help a lot with a committee with 12 spots, especially year over year when they kept up their winning. And whatever wins they get in the playoff over "stronger" teams would help for the next year.
Imagine Indiana beats Georgia, Texas, and Alabama on that side of the bracket. I love this format so much more. Just think about the trash we used to have with the BCS
So south carolina beating vandy and ou by more in the same environments that bama played the same teams in and lost lets them get ahead of south carolina because they barely beat them? The committee has bama so far in their throat im shocked he was able to give an interview. If clemson beats smu and smu gets knocked out does south carolina take bamas spot for having a victory over the acc champs in death valley?
There are tons and tons of computer ranking systems for football. Sagarin makes a well-known one. (Alabama ranks higher in these than in the polls). Also, ESPN has FPI and a SOR ranking.
I get that Ole Miss had a couple of bad losses, but it doesn't seem to matter much that they DESTROYED South Carolina and DESTROYED Georgia. Nobody beats Georgia like they did.
Ole Miss's losses weren't as bad as bamas losses. Ole miss lost by 3 to a team with a losing record, and then a combined 10 to 2 teams with winning records. Bama lost by 5 to vandy (6-6) and 21 to OK (6-6).
It’s crazy how there could be 3 teams that make the college football playoffs who don’t have a win over a currently ranked team… gonna be a lot of boring blowouts this year, hopefully they’ll learn 🤷♂️ Indiana, SMU, Penn state, and whoever wins the big12 bout to get exposed 😬
Wholeheartedly disagree. Both teams have two loses. Both a loss to a good team and to a bad team. Both of OSU’s losses were better. A field goal loss to Oregon vs a 14 point loss to Georgia (who is worse than Oregon, obviously). Then a loss to Arkansas and Michigan each by a FG and both teams are almost similar. 8 and 9 is a correct ranking with OSU at 8. I don’t see the case for Tennessee
11:05 smu you can lose a conference championship game and not move. Good so smu needs to lose to clemson so it knocks bama out where they deserve to be.
I don’t get it why the committee is so in love with Alabama. They literally couldn’t score a touchdown against a bad Oklahoma team, and the fact they lost to Vanderbilt is puzzling to me. I would even put South Carolina in over Alabama with the way they finished out against Clemson. Alabama doesn’t belong in this year’s playoffs period.
People complained when it was a 4 team playoff they complain after they make it a 12 team playoff lets just be real people are going complain no matter what 😂
There keeps being talk if SMU losses they could still be in. Since they may not want to punish for a loss in conference championship. What about Boise? They are rank above Alabama as of right now. Not saying they are better. Just going off this logic.
What he should have said is that the teams that arent playing in conference championship games cant move up in the rankings cause they aren't playing butt they can move down because of the teams playing in those game could possibly jump and move teams down
People can say it's "not Miami's fault" for having an easier schedule, but it literally is. The schools make their own schedules. Play better teams! Also, when you do play the small number of ranked teams on your schedule, YOU NEED TO BEAT THEM!
Miami scheduled Florida years ago. These schedules are all made years in advance. Florida State went undefeated last year. It def isn’t their fault that everyone was ass this year.
Yes and no. These schedules are made a couple years in advance so you can only estimate so much how hard the schedule will be. They played Florida who normally would be good but this year they happened to stink.
Tony just isn’t comprehending what was said. SMU can lose by 30 and they’re still in. They’ll just be one of the lower seeds. They’re not going to remove any of these teams. Only thing that can happen is the 12 team being shuffled
These people don’t watch the games. The statements they make show that. How are you going to skate ole miss for losing to Florida and Kentucky when bama lost to OU and Vanderbilt? Every ESPN related media has done nothing but back bama when the entire public sees it for what it is. This show even said it. “You just want to see Milroe in there.” This is what we the public see. Alabama isn’t in the playoff cause they earned it. They’re in the playoff because espn THINKS they’re giving us what we want. We want the most deserving and best teams in the playoff. Alabama isn’t one of them!
Ffs Bama literally beat a playoff team in Georgia as well as LSU and Missouri who’ve been ranked all year. Miami hasn’t beaten a single ranked team and ole miss has one less quality win than Bama. What else was the committee supposed to do
@@MattBuild4 so who are you putting in over Bama? Ole miss lost to LSU, Miami doesn’t have a single ranked win, and SC lost to Bama so you can’t put them in. Bama has bad losses but have beaten the other playoff options or have had more ranked wins than the other options. Once again no other way around it
@@thecheesemouse True, but they're also designed to stir the pot and antagonize dialogue and discord by planting controversial options. View Bots are different, and you'd be correct
All the people complaining about Alabama are probably fans of teams that never built a traditional offense winning. Maybe if Iowa or Boston’s college or UWV or whatever clown college these people are rooting for would invest in there teams instead of worrying about Alabama then they might one day be in Alabama’s position; but they probably never will be!! Suck it haters!!!
Saying this as a Bama alum and fan, Bama needs to be left out this year to teach that group a lesson. You NEVER overlook the "easy" games on the schedule. Losing to Vanderbilt, and a blowout against Oklahoma matters. The team is not as disciplined as it was under Saban. The mindless penalties are killing this team. This Bama team will not compete for a title.
Let’s talk about ND being ranked 4th with the worst loss of any ranked team. NIU at home, 1 ranked team on their entire schedule (army 😂) if only 1 loss is that meaningful why are SMU and Indiana behind ND? Much better single losses and I would argue more difficult schedules, unless someone actually believes Army is top 25. Army has 1 loss to ND, a better loss than ND has, they should be ranked higher than ND!
5 hole is not necessarily the best spot because the number 12 is the 5th conference champion so normally I would think the 6 spot would be the best spot.
The comittee dont give a piss bout nothin but the Tide 🤣

If any other team in the SEC had the same losses as Bama there wouldn’t even be a convo for them. Bring the computers back
Hate to tell you this but the computers love Alabama too.
Not true. Ole Miss is in the conversation
It's about the fan base, history & viewership. They tend to show up when it counts and people watch.
I mean I don’t like Bama either but that’s just blatantly false, SC and Ole Miss have three losses and were both in the convo for the last spot. Granted I woulda went with Ole Miss but that’s just me
I mean they have the best wins in the sec as well
Alabama got beat by an unranked OU team by 21 points. They were held to 3 points. They shouldn't be anywhere near the playoffs
I agree
I agree but I can understand the argument for why they are in at the same time. They had a stronger schedule and played better vs the best teams in the country. That said I dont think they deserve to be in just because they played a harder schedule. I think wins and losses SHOULD matter but by putting them in the playoff the committee is saying that it doesnt matter who you lose tp and it only matters who you beat.
They also lost to an unranked Vandy team. Ohiostate lost 2 games by a combined 4 points but also won 2 top 5 match ups. Alabama gets a pass because of the fan base and it's BS.
Go put another little league sticker on your helmet and maybe youll make it next year@anthonycade651
Bama scored a touchdown that could have been a huge spark and momentum change and the refs said ehhhh let’s just call that back for no reason

Yeah after the FSU debate last year or the UCF debate a couple of years ago its good to see that an undefeated team would have a real shot. Especially since its the 5 highest ranked conference champions. Its not just the P4 champs plus the best G5 champion. There was a real chance that the Big 12 champion could have been left out if Army had managed to upset Notre Dame because if they did that and ended undefeated and won their conference championship I dont know how you could have justified leaving them out with a win on the road vs a top 10 team
@@RobertReital both of those teams absolutely deserved to get left out. lost all respect for UCF when they claimed a fake national championship.
@@gothard5 Yeah, you're correct, but it does give less ammo to them, and I'd bet we'll see a lot fewer bogus national championship claims after the playoffs.
@@RobertReital I'm very happy that they aren't doing the BCS style of "the champions of these specific conferences plus one more", it's made Boise State's path much more satisfying this year.
Alabama could have 7 losses, and the committee would be like, "Well you gotta understand, their 7 losses were very high quality losses, etc etc).
And then none of those teams would be in the playoff picture 😂
They were quality losses
They played ranked teams unlike. Miami and some others who didn't
No no, this time it was about quality wins. The losses were garbage lol

As a Bama fan i agree. Only 8 teams actually “deserve” it tho. No one behind Bama deserves it more tho
" behind Bama"
They are only "behind Bama" because Bama got a favorable ranking despite getting worked by a bad Oklahoma team.
I do appreciate the honesty tho. I have read posts on Bama forums and overwhelming their fans don't think they should be in the playoffs.
Miami should get in with their 2 losses, IMO.
There D is bad but offense is really good. Syracuse is ranked and Georgia Tech loss not looking so bad after the Georgia game.
I digress...
South Carolina is playing much better football than Alabama ( Ole Miss is too if we're being honest)
The 'eye test' criteria was supposed to mean something according to the committee.
And before you reply " we beat SC head to head", I'll let you know you're talking to a Tennessee fan.
We were getting left out for Bama just 2-3 weeks ago even tho we beat Bama head to head and were beating Georgia before some really questionable calls.
Tennessee should have never lost to Arkansas. I own that, and the team should own that. That was a bad loss.
If we played them again right now we'd beat them for sure. Having said that, I was fine with Tennessee being left out a couple weeks ago, but only because I felt Ole Miss and Texas Tech were playing better football at the time.
At some point you just have to put your fandom to the side in favor of being an honest person.
@@chriskeith5742 if Ole miss had of made it I would be fine. Alabama had the head to head with South Carolina but i could still see the logic. All 3 have shown the capability to be elite if they put it together. Miami never has. Miami has done literally nothing to show they can play at a playoff level. They havent beaten a ranked team, they havent dominated their lesser opponents. The offense is good but they are giving up 40 to bad offenses. What have they done to show they can play with anyones best game?
@@davidlevins7646 Mami's lack of quality wins definitely hurts them if you compare them to another 2 loss team.
They found ways to not get that 3rd loss, tho. Alabama didn't.
And it's not just that Alabama lost 3 it's the 2 bad losses that stick out the most.
Ole Miss's and Miami's losses were all close. Real close. Bama got boat raced by Oklahoma. Oklahoma is not good this year. Losing to them is one thing, getting boat raced is another. Add that to getting beat by Vandy and that is pretty ugly.
Ole Miss boat raced SC. I am probably with you on them. Eye test and all they probably deserve that last spot.
If Miami got in over them I guess I couldn't complain tho because Ole Miss should have never lost to KY ( especially at home) and they had their chance to beat Flordia at the end of the year and make it to an SEC championship.
Miami also boat raced Flordia. So there's that.
Nope

@@BackyardAquatics-o2m But, that point is to be ignored.🙄
@@BackyardAquatics-o2m Teams have ups and downs. You think the AL that faced GA was the same team that faced OK? Head to head matters, but the rest of the body of work does too. Tyler's right that an extra loss from the championship can't be considered as big a deal as the regular season loss. In the same way, the final top 12, after conference games are done but before the playoff starts, should be considered the final top 12. All but 1 of them are guaranteed to lose an extra game. Any of them could possibly rise to #1, but they cannot drop below the non-playoff line. That wouldn't make any sense.
And the quality of the losses are not even close GA lost to Bama by one touchdown and lost to a really good Ole Miss team. What’s interesting is how Ole Miss beat GA by more pints and later in the season yet the Bama Georgia win seems to count much more and I would argue Ole Miss also has better quality losses than Bama

Bama beat them lmao
Bama wouldn't beat SC now and you know it..
ESPN owns the SEC - Why wouldn’t a quarter of the teams be SEC teams. They’ve rigged CFB for years for the SEC; especially for BAMA. It was once said in the beginning of the playoff format that you had to win your conference. Then, they moved the goal post on two different occasions to allow Bama to play for the title. It’s disgusting!
4 of 12 is 33.3%
Actually you can make a very strong argument that more SEC teams should get in this year. Half of the playoff bracket doesn’t have a single quality win.
@dawnshults7992 Nope, run those numbers back lol
@@Kingepticonmaybe that's because of the bias pre season rankings for the sec..
How many those sec teams have quality wins outside their own conference , not many.
They need to do away with preseason ranking , play first 3 or 4 games of the season and rank teams from there.,
Good example is Texas there win against Michigan looks different now than than week 2 , when they played.
The rest thier schedule isn't that impressive, with the exception of loss to Georgia and win against Texas Am.
Are they playoff team sure , but their schedule isn't that much different realistically from say a 2 lose Miami team or even a three loss Clemson team.
Yes it is rigged, and you can't do anything about it.
So SOS matters only for wins but not for teams losses? Guy was tossing out top 25 wins in an alabama vs Miami scenario, but didn’t mention how bad any of their losses were…
because Miami doesn't have top 25 wins.
@@jamareycarter5550 Louisville was ranked
@@jamareycarter5550 you’re reiterating my point… teams over .500 is a better indicator because top 25 is voter based. Miami lost one more game when comparing .500 records, and both of Miami’s losses are by one score.

On a different note, since the SEC is valued higher than the ACC, what would your playoff scenario look like if Clemson beats SMU? Clemson would get in as ACC champs but SMU’s only losses would be to BYU and Clemson who are both ranked. Would BYU bump Alabama out?
Yep. Suck it.
@@Day2day247teams over .500 is misleading in different ways 10-1 Army who played 1 real team all year is not better than a 4-5 B10 or SEC team. Absurd. A loss to NIU at home is impeachable offense. ND should be the lowest ranked 1 loss team.
Two of Alabamas losses are bad losses, if they had one bad loss and two to ranked opponents sure but loosing to Vanderbilt the joke of the SEC and OU is irredeemable
Vandy wasn't the joke this year. They went 8 -4 they beat some good teams and gave Texas all they wanted. Florida and Miss st are the jokes this year. So Bama had 1 bad loss. Everybody just keeps repeating that vandy is sub .500 which is flat out, NOT TRUE.

regarding 'controversy'. we're talking about the 12th best team in the country and that's potentially a 3 loss team. no 3 loss team should be complaining about not making it in. you lost 3 freaking games. what matters is all the teams that have a clear and strong argument for being the best team in the country are in so that any lingering questions left by a 4 team playoff are answered on the field.
This is it right here. You have 5 conference champions and all the undefeated and 1 loss teams in. Any 2 or 3 loss teams beyond that are basically field fillers.
100%. Just WIN MORE. If you argue you have a harder schedule then stop bragging about how much better you are than the smaller school with the weaker schedule. You have a harder schedule because you’re a bigger program and reasonably have a “better team”.
So you're saying you could schedule the twelve worst 12 teams in college football and win them all and get in when another team is eight and four. But wins five top ten teams should be out. Then that's total b. S . The truth. Is nobody wants to play bama

As an SMU fan, given the fact that we were disrespected for the entire season, it's win-and-we're-in mode. A loss means our season is over, plain and simple.
Smu almost lost to Nevada. Lost to BYU. With one lost they should get in if they beat Clemson. If not y'all should kick rocks
Shouldnt be.... This "committee" has repeatedly said it would not punish a team for playing a 13th game(Title game). SO.... if SMU does lose, then the committee shouldnt kick them out of the playoffs. If they do, then its hypocritical. I dont think SMU is that great, but you cant make it a BAD thing to play in a conference title game.
@JSum81 I understand what your saying. What I'm saying is strength of schedule and performance should be more important. Smu might be pretty good this year but if you put them against a team in the SEC. Which they haven't played all year they would have a hard time. We don't need tcu Georgia again
@@JSum81I think what should happen is if you’re in the playoffs and play in a conference championship you shouldn’t be penalized, but if you’re on the outside looking in and lose a conference championship I think you should stay out. Example, if Clemson loses they stay out, if they win, both SMU and Clemson get it
@@JSum81 I mean, they *should* punish them though. A loss is a loss. They're only saying that to make conferences refrain from getting rid of championship games. And they have not said it categorically. Basically, their stance now is that they'll pay attention and try not to penalize teams unless they lose horribly (which I still think is too lenient).
IF SMU loses to Clemson then Alabama has to be the first team out. Theyre the lowest ranked at-large team. As long as its not a 50 point blowout for Clemson. If its a 2 score game or maybe a 3 score game where Clemson gets a late score to push it to a 3 score game I think you have to bump Alabama. They may have a good resume vs the top 25 to their credit. BUT, they have 2 very bad losses including a very ugly loss to an Oklahoma team that ended the season at .500.
I wouldn’t really have a problem with bama being in, even with that Oklahoma loss if it wasn’t such a disgusting loss. 24-3 loss in any other college football era would eliminate you from contention 99% of the time. It was such a bad loss it made Indiana’s loss to Ohio st seem like no big deal.

Florida State and Georgia both missed the playoffs last year. Florida State was undefeated but their starting qb was injured so they did not receive a spot. Georgia was left out because they had a single loss to Alabama in the SEC championship.
Both teams played in a bowl game, where Georgia smoked Florida State despite being ranked lower and having a worse record. However, it’s worth noting that many seniors on Florida state opted not to play, so it wasn’t really a fair matchup.
The point of playoffs is to get the subjectivity/bias/corruption out. This system has failed. Go to 8 teams, 7 highest conference champions in the AP poll and highest independent. Eliminates the committee. Ensures the NATION is represented, and preserves the importance of conference championships. Minimizes subjectivity to just the traditional poll. No byes. Equal footing. Objective. True, fair playoff.
I think the 5th conference champion should automatically be the 5th seed and get home field advantage. How can we give 4 champions a bye and home field and the 5th champion is playing on the road round 1?

If #18 Clemson beats #8 SMU, both of these teams will get in - forcing #11 Bama out in order to make room for #18 Clemson. This would also mean that #10 Boise St moves to the 3 Seed, #15 Arizona St moves to the 4 Seed, and #18 Clemson moves to the 12 Seed.
If BOTH #10 Boise St & #8 SMU get upset - #11 Bama AND #10 Indiana will be forced out in order to make room for #19 UNLV & #18 Clemson. This would also mean that #15 Arizona St gets the 3 Seed, #18 Clemson gets the 4 Seed, and #19 UNLV gets the 12 Seed.
For a 12-team playoff, there is a world where three teams ranked outside the Top 12 not only make it into the playoff, but TWO of them actually get first-round byes. This would be BIZARRE.
You trust the committee? Lolol
The G5 will only ever get 1 team in. In the last 25 years only 1 season has ever had 2 G5 teams make a major post season. This includes MULTIPLE SEASONS of 2+ top 8 ranked G5 teams.
Its dumb, but if you want multiple G5 teams to make it both teams have to make it so insanely obvious that it would be ridiculous to keep them out and even then they still might get shafted.
@@MattBuild4 TCU and Boise in that late 2000s run both had would have been in multiple times under this format.
@@bigyodatheman Should have - 10000% yes. Would have? ehhh id lean towards no, based on the fact that outside of 2009 no two G5 teams ever made BCS bowls. Like 2004 had #5 MWC Utah, #7 CUSA Louisville and #9 WAC BSU - theoretically all these teams should make a 12 team, but only Utah made the BCS and 3 lower ranked P5 teams made BCS bowls over Louisville and BSU.
@@MattBuild4 Yeah, but this isn't the BCS, though. The eye test for both teams would help a lot with a committee with 12 spots, especially year over year when they kept up their winning. And whatever wins they get in the playoff over "stronger" teams would help for the next year.
Imagine Indiana beats Georgia, Texas, and Alabama on that side of the bracket. I love this format so much more. Just think about the trash we used to have with the BCS
Notre Dame needs to join the ACC officially for football. It would help the SoS for the champion and give ND an automatic bye if they win it
They want more money , they have their own contract with nbc , so no
They have an annual cakewalk as an independent
@@Jleed989 tell that to Northern Illinois 🤣
@@gregl9175guess it just depends if they value $ or National championships more
@@phillyfrak2462the problem is the fan will always support them so yes $ is more important.
So south carolina beating vandy and ou by more in the same environments that bama played the same teams in and lost lets them get ahead of south carolina because they barely beat them? The committee has bama so far in their throat im shocked he was able to give an interview. If clemson beats smu and smu gets knocked out does south carolina take bamas spot for having a victory over the acc champs in death valley?
College Football should have a NET rankings like MBB. Or a KenPom. WHO you lost to should affect your rank. WHO you beat should affect your rank.
There are tons and tons of computer ranking systems for football. Sagarin makes a well-known one. (Alabama ranks higher in these than in the polls). Also, ESPN has FPI and a SOR ranking.
I get that Ole Miss had a couple of bad losses, but it doesn't seem to matter much that they DESTROYED South Carolina and DESTROYED Georgia. Nobody beats Georgia like they did.
Ole Miss's losses weren't as bad as bamas losses. Ole miss lost by 3 to a team with a losing record, and then a combined 10 to 2 teams with winning records. Bama lost by 5 to vandy (6-6) and 21 to OK (6-6).
So what’s the deal with ASU? If they lose against Iowa state ISU goes in?
Yes 5 highest ranked conference champs
Yes
It’s crazy how there could be 3 teams that make the college football playoffs who don’t have a win over a currently ranked team… gonna be a lot of boring blowouts this year, hopefully they’ll learn 🤷♂️
Indiana, SMU, Penn state, and whoever wins the big12 bout to get exposed 😬
Tn should be hosting
Wholeheartedly disagree. Both teams have two loses. Both a loss to a good team and to a bad team. Both of OSU’s losses were better. A field goal loss to Oregon vs a 14 point loss to Georgia (who is worse than Oregon, obviously). Then a loss to Arkansas and Michigan each by a FG and both teams are almost similar. 8 and 9 is a correct ranking with OSU at 8. I don’t see the case for Tennessee
Tn didn’t lose at home as a 21 point favorite so I disagree with you
11:05 smu you can lose a conference championship game and not move. Good so smu needs to lose to clemson so it knocks bama out where they deserve to be.
I don’t get it why the committee is so in love with Alabama. They literally couldn’t score a touchdown against a bad Oklahoma team, and the fact they lost to Vanderbilt is puzzling to me. I would even put South Carolina in over Alabama with the way they finished out against Clemson. Alabama doesn’t belong in this year’s playoffs period.
Bribes
Bama beat SC and has the same record while SC lost to Missouri and Bama beat Missouri by 34. SC has a poor case when you really look at it closely.
7:37 lil Wayne pops in
😂
All sports have become an absolute joke.
People complained when it was a 4 team playoff they complain after they make it a 12 team playoff lets just be real people are going complain no matter what 😂
There keeps being talk if SMU losses they could still be in. Since they may not want to punish for a loss in conference championship. What about Boise? They are rank above Alabama as of right now. Not saying they are better. Just going off this logic.
“I don’t give a piss about nothin but the tide” - Roll Tide Willie
What he should have said is that the teams that arent playing in conference championship games cant move up in the rankings cause they aren't playing butt they can move down because of the teams playing in those game could possibly jump and move teams down
People can say it's "not Miami's fault" for having an easier schedule, but it literally is. The schools make their own schedules. Play better teams! Also, when you do play the small number of ranked teams on your schedule, YOU NEED TO BEAT THEM!
Saban said it best. You take even an SEC team like ole miss or Kentucky and give them Miamis schedule they'd be undefeated
Miami scheduled Florida years ago. These schedules are all made years in advance. Florida State went undefeated last year. It def isn’t their fault that everyone was ass this year.
@@yogertslinger84 That's exactly ESPN SOR is meant to represent, and Miami's SOR is 14th, which is below 5 SEC teams.
Yes and no. These schedules are made a couple years in advance so you can only estimate so much how hard the schedule will be. They played Florida who normally would be good but this year they happened to stink.
Alabama can lose all the games but if they beat UGA committe will put them in... CORRUPTION
Tony just isn’t comprehending what was said. SMU can lose by 30 and they’re still in. They’ll just be one of the lower seeds. They’re not going to remove any of these teams. Only thing that can happen is the 12 team being shuffled
Tony doesn't trust the committee. And neither should you.
If ASU and Boise St lose they’re out. Iowa st and UNLV would go
Put some respect on the Alabama Invitational
If smu loses, bama is out
These people don’t watch the games. The statements they make show that. How are you going to skate ole miss for losing to Florida and Kentucky when bama lost to OU and Vanderbilt? Every ESPN related media has done nothing but back bama when the entire public sees it for what it is.
This show even said it. “You just want to see Milroe in there.”
This is what we the public see. Alabama isn’t in the playoff cause they earned it. They’re in the playoff because espn THINKS they’re giving us what we want. We want the most deserving and best teams in the playoff. Alabama isn’t one of them!
It will be that much more satisfying when they go to South Bend and lose.
@@bigyodatheman ND lost to a team that is not even playing DIV 1 football at HOME. Bama will beat ND, you can take that to the bank!
@maxgee8676 lololol Bama ain't beating anybody if they make it in.
@maxgee8676 Oh yeah, and NIU is in the MAC, and they are division 1. Keep your mouth shut.
No shot Alabama should be in vs Miami. NO SHOT
Ffs Bama literally beat a playoff team in Georgia as well as LSU and Missouri who’ve been ranked all year. Miami hasn’t beaten a single ranked team and ole miss has one less quality win than Bama. What else was the committee supposed to do
Miami didn’t lose 24-3 to an unranked team. That’s my main gripe. Their bad losses are pretty bad.
@@evangelionl0vr857they also didn’t get beat by Vandy lmfao
Im sorry what rank is LSU these days?
The polls have been propping up Missouri for months at this point. They are not a top 25 team.
@@MattBuild4 so who are you putting in over Bama? Ole miss lost to LSU, Miami doesn’t have a single ranked win, and SC lost to Bama so you can’t put them in. Bama has bad losses but have beaten the other playoff options or have had more ranked wins than the other options. Once again no other way around it
Lmao, Alabama lost to VANDY and OU and get in
Why does this channel bot comments lol
Most channels do.
Engagement equals 💲
@Peakfreud not if those accounts have been flagged for view botting, then it does the opposite
@@thecheesemouse True, but they're also designed to stir the pot and antagonize dialogue and discord by planting controversial options.
View Bots are different, and you'd be correct
All the people complaining about Alabama are probably fans of teams that never built a traditional offense winning. Maybe if Iowa or Boston’s college or UWV or whatever clown college these people are rooting for would invest in there teams instead of worrying about Alabama then they might one day be in Alabama’s position; but they probably never will be!! Suck it haters!!!
Saying this as a Bama alum and fan, Bama needs to be left out this year to teach that group a lesson. You NEVER overlook the "easy" games on the schedule. Losing to Vanderbilt, and a blowout against Oklahoma matters. The team is not as disciplined as it was under Saban. The mindless penalties are killing this team. This Bama team will not compete for a title.
Let’s talk about ND being ranked 4th with the worst loss of any ranked team. NIU at home, 1 ranked team on their entire schedule (army 😂) if only 1 loss is that meaningful why are SMU and Indiana behind ND? Much better single losses and I would argue more difficult schedules, unless someone actually believes Army is top 25. Army has 1 loss to ND, a better loss than ND has, they should be ranked higher than ND!
Never trust the committee.
do we really want 3 ga v texas games in one season
Remember when multiple top teams with 1 loss were fighting for a top 4 spot?
Being "pissed" now is crazy when you have 2-3 losses.
5 hole is not necessarily the best spot because the number 12 is the 5th conference champion so normally I would think the 6 spot would be the best spot.
We are Alabama.😮😮😮
3 - 24 loss to Oklahoma is way worse than losing 38 - 42 to Syracuse.
