Clemson
OU
Georgia
Ohio State

In a good and just world, this would be the result. But we know that this world is far from good and just.

2 loss OSU or a 1 loss Bama? Theyre gonna go with Bama. OSU will get USC in the Rose Bowl
---

Bama gets the fourth spot if Wisconsin loses. The committee is gonna want a New Year's Day rematch between Clemson and Alabama.

"Alabama doesn't deserve to go."

Alabama is still the favored team in every single matchup of everyone left in the top 10

If OSU completely BTFOs Wisconsin I don't think Alabama will get in
---

we have a 2 loss team, one loss being by 31 points

and a one loss team by what 12 points?

why would ohio state go over bama? why would the number 8 team jump the number 5?

you gotta remeber alabama also blew the fuck out of every team but miss state pretty much.

cause ohio state beat penn state, Michigan, Michigan state and now potentially Wisconsin. Sure, they lost twice and badly to Iowa but....who really has bama beaten?

2 loss Auburn was #2 in the rankings going into this week. Alabama's schedule has been garbage this season. OSU beating Penn State and Wisconsin merits it over anything Alabama did.

Fat chance that a two-loss Big Ten champ would get in over Alabama, and I say that as a lifelong Big Ten fan.

Bama played three little sisters of the poor for their OOC plus their in conference opponents weren't as strong. I could gather a bunch of CEmen that could be Mercer.

Lmao no they arent. Bama has zero top 15 wins this year. Their an absolute pitiful team and i think everyone in the top 10 outside of miamis overrated ass would beat them
---

OSU should get in over Bama simply because they at least reached and (presuming) won their conference championship game. Unfortunately thats not how it worked last year in this same situation so idk anymore
---

What was Bama's best win this year? Beating Mississippi State by a touchdown?

Or an LSU team with no QB

Difference between last year and this year was osu had 3 top 15 wins last year and barely lost to penn state, bama has zero top 15 wins and lost convincingly to a now 3 loss auburn team
---

however it ends up somebody is gonna be pissed.

I am an Alabama fan but I admit, with out defense having so many people out, we prob aren't in the top 4.

I just don't see Bama beating Clemson, not as good as we were 2 years ago.
---

You'd be hard to justify Alabama after not winning their conference, losing badly to auburn and then auburn getting waxed by Georgia. On top of poor win quality.

Meanwhile, Ohio State while losing 2 games, has played better competition and as of now is winning their conference title game.

Well this is Ohio St., one of the blue blood programs, not Baylor or Oklahoma St.

huh, baylor and ok state are in big 12. Ohio State is big 10.

Sure, but good luck getting the selection committee to stop sucking Alabama long enough to do a favor to a two-loss Ohio State.

Only way that the Big Ten gets in is if Wisconsin wins tonight, which would effectively force their hands as an undefeated conference champ and keep Alabama out.

I don't think he was saying Ohio State is big 12.

Just that OSU is a prestigious program with a ton of history. More so than OKST and Baylor. That's what the voters would look at as opposed to one of those teams.

^This. Schools like OSU, Bama, Texas, Michigan, USC, OU, etc would get more leeway than the Baylors and OK St's of the world.

They had the same conference record as Auburn and lost the head-to-head.

Conference record is all that matters, and Auburn had the tiebreaker for beating Alabama.

If Ohio state wins the championship Alabama should get in.

Yep. Auburn typically sneaks in whenever they do. The exceptions being 2010 and some time in the early 2000's. Whenever Campbell and Cadillac were playing. '03 maybe?

Edit: 2004. I was a year off

FSU was (falsely I admit) ranked 3 when Bama played them.

Bama allowed less points and scored more points than any other team this year. They put them at 5 for a reason. I think they will get in.

Kinda silly. What's the point of the non-conference games?

Stat padding for rankings.
