Ohio State will be 1st place loser. Remember Reece Bobbys famous quote "If you're not 1st you're last".

Probably still TCU. Can't really place Michigan above TCU or Ohio State above Michigan. (Or maybe they can because most of the voters are arrogant fools, and half of them probably don't even remember those 2 head-to-head games happened.) I bet most of the voters already filled out their ballot before today anyway.

Some voters will put in Alabama at #2, even though they lost head-to-head with Tennessee, who has the same record (and would have a better record than Alabama, but Tennessee had to play Georgia while Alabama didn't and Tennessee blew out the other team who beat Alabama). Tennessee probably deserves to be #2, but I think TCU will get the votes.

Bama would have beaten Michigan, Ohio State, and TCU.
Tennessee had a terrible loss.

Tennessee also beat Bama.

Tennessee's road loss to a team that likely finishes ranked (or maybe one of the first couple out) isn't great, but their overall resume is clearly more deserving than Alabama's of a higher ranking.

Tennessee should be higher than bama.

It's a fair question...

I'd put Bammer/UGA at 1/2

TCU/Mich/OSU/UT(less hooker) at 3-6th

but it was a garbage year....

Not a garbage year. Just a year where 1 team was head and shoulders above everybody. Certainly much better than Bama.

You mean Tenn, LSU.. Or UGA?

Bama best win this year before the bowl game was State. Not exactly a top 4 resume

I think they got Alabama and Tennessee in the wrong order, but otherwise the top 6 looks good.

[parabrave]

LSU should've been top 13.

Bama wouldn't have beaten Ohio State. Heck, Michigan wouldn't have beaten Ohio State if they played again.

I'll second that.

UT and LSU barely beat Bama at home. I'd say all three of those teams are pretty comparable. UT had the best win (LSU on the road, big) and their "bad" loss wasn't that bad. They deserve to be above Bama. LSU got smoked at home by UT (compared to Bama's last second loss on the road) and barely squeaked by Bama at home, then lost to FSU in a virtual home game and the killer was losing to A&M. The A&M loss is killer for LSU's resume. IF it weren't for that, they'd be right behind Bama I think. Hard to argue that with the A&M loss though.

Haha.

Correct. The shine is wearing off Alabama. Some teams (like us) still let the name beat them before the game starts, but others (LSU, TN, UGA, A&M, Auburn, and even Ole Miss) no longer play scared against them. The power in the SEC has obviously shifted to UGA, and Saban is beginning to look his age. Yes, they still recruit at a high level, but they have a lot of guys portaling out too. They lose 6 starters from offense and 6 from defense, according to an article I read this morning. They aren't falling off a cliff, obviously, but seasons with multiple losses will likely occur more often than not from here on out.
