"It bothers me that the voice of that locker room right now is a true sophomore," Pate said. "That shouldn't be the case there, but it is. Will Anderson is the guy. You always want to find the players that talk most like Nick Saban, that carry themselves most like Saban. It's not their seniors. It is Will Anderson. I'm going to tell you why: Because the worst recruiting class that Bama has had under Saban, that is that senior group. And out of the guys who really panned out — Surtain is gone, Waddle is gone. It's just a class cycling through. I'm not saying it's a bunch of dead weight. I'm just saying it is not special."

A 2 loss team has never gotten into the CFPs.

Just sayin': Alabama (like Ohio State controls it's own destiny); however, they better not lose another game, etc.

A 2 loss team has not gotten into the CFPs yet.

If Alabama ends up with two losses by virtue of losing a close game to an undefeated Georgia in the SEC championship, I think they could still get in over a one-loss Oklahoma/PAC-12/ACC champ, or an undefeated Cincinnati. Assuming Georgia and OSU were the 1 and 2 seeds in this scenario, we'd be looking at 5 teams (Alabama plus those four) and two slots. I think it would be hard not to put Alabama into one of those slots.

Minutia but they'd have to be put in at #3 in your scenario to avoid the 1v4 rematch with UGA.

I'd say a 1 loss OU, 1 loss Wake Forest, 1 loss Oregon all get left out for an undefeated UC. So then its 1. UGA 2. OSU 3. Bama 4. UC.

Problem for UC is Oregon in that scenario. A 1 loss Oregon who is a Pac 12 champ and has a win over B1G champ OSU is going to be difficult to leave out for a G6 team undefeated or not.

I think if OSU and UC win out, everyone else loses one with Alabama's loss being a close game with Georgia, the playoffs will be 1. UGA, 2. OSU, 3. Alabama, and 4. Oregon. Oregon gets in over Oklahoma, Wake Forest, and UC for the reason you gave - they beat OSU.

No way a one-loss Oregon will get in over an undefeated Cincinnati.

This is why whenever Coach Saban decides to retire, I’m certain there will be a incremental decline, year over year for whomever his replacement is.

Saban’s greatest talent is keeping the hordes at bay

Yeah, they were losing to directional Sunbelt schools when he arrived. I don't expect the NC every other year pace to continue when he leaves.
