@@VainRain69does it really matter at this point ? If any playoff team lost to an unranked opponent and didn't score a single touchdown they should not be anywhere near the top 12.
12 teams are going to make it. You've got to wrap your head around it. Deserves has nothing to do with it. 12 teams are getting in regardless of losses.
Let's be real, if Alabama had Indiana's resume, Dinich (and people like her) would be on here arguing that they should be the number 5 seed (since they can't get into the conference title game). If Indiana had Alabama's resume, Dinich wouldn't mention them because they would be unranked
ESPN/SEC partnership requires every ESPN "talent" to keep the SEC fan base engaged. SEC ADs still following the Mike Slive BCS scheduling formula of scheduling patsies late in the season for their top contenders - Alabama vs Mercer in week 12 and Georgia vs Massachusetts in week 13 should count against them. The SEC is 173-13 all-time against the Sun Belt. Would love to see Nick Saban man up and return to the NFL and see how he fares in a league where he can't dictate advantages. Great coach, but he always needed competitive advantages to compete; once NIL money came available, his advantages diminished.
I understand Ole Miss and Bama have H2H wins against SC but I don't think there is any question that SC is playing better football than both right now while on a 5 game win streak. I don't understand why most think it is impossible for SC to be ranked above them tonight when very recently the committee had Bama (8-2) ranked 4 spots above Tennessee (8-2) while Tennessee had a H2H win over Bama. Someone help me out.
Exactly if they're going to be consistent with these rankings South Carolina is playing way better than ole miss or Alabama even though they both beat sc. Alabama was playing better than Tennessee at the time they were ranked ahead of them even though Tennessee had the head to head win. If sc beats Clemson they should have an outside chance to get in playoff . Depending if other 2 loss teams ahead of them lose
We shouldn't have Daboer as our coach. They look soft and undisciplined with him as our leader. That isnt Alabama football. We should have gone after Brian Daboll, Lane Kiffin, or Mike Vrabel. Really would have loved if we would have at least tried to get Vrabel.

Anything to justify the SEC getting as many teams as possible in, this is Disney's main cash cow, its similar to how MSNBC and CNN hype Covid vaccines or Democrat politicians, without them they dont have any money.
Don't know who made this woman a football/ranking expert? Imagine playing football and risking your body only to be told by these so-called experts where you stand.
What makes Heather a College Football expert or is her father a producer at ESPN? Really now for four years her cluelessness has been paramount, there are so many real college football ladies who really know College Football that what ever Miss Heather prognosticates it falls on a many deaf ear.
IU plays 9 B1G teams. They happen to only have 1 ranked opponent which is likely the best team in the country on the road. Pathetic to paint them as if they haven't beaten anyone.
not to mention Michigan was preranked 10th, Washington is reigning national champs, Nebraska ranked for a period of time, all completely disregarded and forgotten because Indiana wins are useless
When you see how many highly ranked teams LOST in week 13, to cupcakes... Why aren't folks questioning the ranking process instead of arguing about who should be where now?
OK, how would you like to have a parlay on this: Georgia loses to Georgia Tech, Clemson loses to South Carolina, SMU gets beat in the ACC championship game, Vanderbilt beats Tennessee, George loses a close game to either Texas or Texas A&M and USC beats Notre Dame? And Ohio State loses to Michigan, but beats Oregon in the Big Ten championship game?
15:57 waterboarding couldn't have gotten that admission out of me, how do you admit you didn't know Texas and Texas A&M don't like each other!??!? Zero credibility
Alabama can beat any team in the top 10. Unfortunately they can also LOSE to any team in the top 50. They are undisciplined and inconsistent. The Oklahoma loss was the worst Alabama performance in more than a decade.
It would make no sense that a top 10 team that is 2 loss or better to be bumped out after losing in their conference championship game. They are playing an extra game and one of the hardest games if not the hardest they play all year. You should only be rewarded with the bye not punished. It wouldn’t make sense for a team to sit at home and do nothing and jump a team for having to play an additional game.
Ohio State's offensive line is "a little banged up"?? 3 starting 0-linemen out with season ending injuries and together, best blocking tight end injured
I can speak for everybody. The SEC Bias is insane when you look at Pat BigMacafee, SECSPN and others. Syracuse had a legitimate chance to get College Gameday if Texas-A&M lost to Auburn but guess what? Not even a day later they decide to choose Texas A&M vs Texas. You can call me a salty Syracuse Fan, but you have to understand that SEC and the Big 10 are getting all the attention and its beyond stupid
Alabama will for sure get in. SEC gets minimum of 4 teams. Greg Sankey will be sure of that. He owns that committee. If Notre Dame loses to SC the SEC will get 5 teams
I don’t understand how Bama keeps getting mentioned. If I had to put a 3 loss team in right now it’s ole miss then possibly SC. I’d have them both ahead of Bama. Bama has 2 losses by 20 points or so.
That’s what I don’t understand. Everyone agrees if the loser of the SEC championship has three losses they’re getting in. So that just goes to show you that conference championship games don’t mean anything outside of just winning that title which is why I don’t understand why people say Notre Dame has to join a conference because it’s not fair that they don’t have the risk of losing another game because apparently conference games don’t matter in the long scheme of things. If anything that’s a disadvantage for Notre Dame because if Notre Dame was a two lost team they’re gonna get passed up for a three loss SEC team. So I’m failing to see the major advantage here.
Heather Dinich? Who is this woman ESPN is trying to push on us? Pat referred to her as Analyst AND Expert!!! Expert in what? This stuff is getting out of hand.
Loser of the non power 4 so mountain West or army's conference definitely not in lol the acc loser should be in with 2 losses they're not going to put a 3 loss big 12 in Sec loser will be in same with big 10
There is no excuse for injecting weather into the playoff mix. WE are not here to watch weather and some perverted pride over that is ridiculous. I am seeing BAMA fans who are embarrassed about even being considered for aa playoff spot, and I agree. Time to exorcise the ghost of Saban; that era is over; quit pushing it beyond reason & reality. Indiana was never top 12, except in the "Participation Trophy League", but we need 12 teams:) Indiana and BAMA are about the same level, but at least Indiana doesn't have as many losses:) We must go back to BCS to stop the favoritism (corruption). There MUST BE A CAP ON NIL, but not based to anything.
I'd say a stipulation on the Transfer Portal should be implemented. Perhaps a simple if you sign with a team it's a binding 2 year contract at the very least. But that's never going to happen it seems. At least NIL has some talks about reel it in, but who knows how many years that'll take.
If Alabama or Ole Miss are anywhere close to this playoff I am done with college football. LOSING to 5 loss (and 7 loss) teams HAS to matter. Indiana lost to maybe the best, at worst 2nd best team in America. Notre Dame lost to a community college. Alabama went to Norman and was embarrassed against a 5 loss unranked team. Ole Miss lost to F*n Kentucky. If it was Ohio State losing to a 7 loss team, or failing to score against a 5 loss Oklahoma, they would be dropped out of the conversation immediately. Indiana already being dismissed, when their ONLY blemish is against the FAVORITE to win the Natty. They went into Columbus and SCORED, something Alabama could NOT do against a pathetic Sooner team. But somehow Alabama has a better team? If it is a SEC popularity contest, why bother with the season. Just use Reece Davis and SEC Finebaum opinions from August instead.
