Auburn #3
Nailed it, good work.
What we're learning is that they care far more about who you've beaten than who beat you. Which bodes well for us. We have the best win of anyone in the country and also a win in the toughest environment in the country. If we just split our two tough games left, even if the team that beats us wins out and wins the SEC, I think we're in.
Nice call.
I think Bama's stock is inflated in a lot of people's minds over their lopsided win over a totally deflated A&m team that got blasted by us and tsun.
Being ranked behind Oregon and ole miss is appropriate at this point and auburn being third is right too. Having so many top 10 match ups coming up to end the season allows things to shake out pretty well in terms of deserving to be in the final four.
They're good but not great.
I agree with you, but they're inflated because they're Alabama and people just assume they're really the best. So once they kill anyone, no matter who it is, people say, 'Alabama's back.' Forget that they lost to an Ole Miss team with serious issues on offense and was lucky to beat a mediocre Arkansas team.
I completely agree, with what we have already accomplished this year, we have a better resume than all but about 5 teams could accumulate throughout the rest of the season. Adding a win @bama or @Ole Miss will give us a resume that the playoff committee will not be able to deny, even if we do lose one of those. The committee showed me exactly what I wanted to see out of them, it's not about the name on your jersey or the perception of how good you may be, it's about how many W's are on your record and how quality they are, and how "good" your losses are.
