How did Alabama remain in the top 4 after Saturday's performance?
Cinci and bama lose...
Georgia
Michigan
Big 12 winner
ND
It would be quite strange for a playoff team to have an interim
Same way Cincinnati has while struggling with half their pitiful schedule.Quote:

Cinci does have a pretty good RB, transfer J Ford from Bammer...
Bingo there jarhead brother. Bammers lose Sat and Oklahoma St moves in to the playoff and the Bammers go to the Sugar.Quote:

I'm just hangin' on by the tiny hope that some things go our way... They got a comparably good "resume'"....Quote:

I mean does it make you feel better to see UGA beat Oklahoma state 42-3 instead?
Truth of the matter as far as I'm concerned, I ain't counting Bama and Saban out, they just find ways to win. It's such a strange football season. No doubt things are evening out.Quote:

I don't understand it. No way you can put ND in over them and they are just as good if not better than the other 1 loss teams. Bedsides then SEC, the other power 5 conferences usually have 1 elite teams and then a bunch of scrubs. No different than Cincy this year.
I'll say it again, if it's close, Bama wins because of the zebras. The SEC wants 2 teams in and UGA has to blow them out or it's gonna happen.Quote:

Well, of course... You shoulda seen how they fixed the Bammer Game at College Station... it was epic.Quote:

And the 4th OT as well - or is that what you meant?Quote:

Good thing Young got the NIL thing, he could get his career ended Saturday. Bama's OL is their weak link.Quote:

There was holding and PI all night on both teams... One PI likely cost Bammer a TD...Quote:

Oh, and bammer had 11 penalties for 129 yards...
Except on the drive to keep their Natty dreams alive in BHam. All of those calls were not iffy. They were blatant. And were not called. Bama gets that benefit 99.7456789% of the time. The rest of us do not. I honestly don't see how Bama fans either can't or won't acknowledge it.Quote:

I'd like to see the math on this.... You're very similar to the Bammer Fans that think the refs screw them all the time... But it's a pervasive, not uncommon delusion...Quote:

Probably for the same reason why Bama doesn't lobby to be allowed to play the JETS every year. Cincy just doesn't belong there. If their schedule was in the 30s, they would have lost 4 games.Quote:

Oh, yeah,,, don't disagree... I'd like to think it was a makeup call for McCreary obviously PIing Bammer outta a TD....Quote:

This is Kirby's best team he has had and maybe ever will have at Jawja. It's his time
I think Okie ST will be 4. If Bama wins SEC then Both Bama and UGA are in.Quote:
