College Football Playoff (2015-16 Season)

It will all work out but if you apply the same criteria OSU gets dinged for to Bama and LSU they probably aren't in it.

As usual they get the "good loss" treatment from ridiculously over rated SEC West opponents. The best team they have played this year they lost to by 14 at home. They went down to the wire at home vs a 4-4 Tennessee team.

Who else was good on that schedule? A&M? Wisconsin, Arkansas?

Really, for the SEC, this Bama/LSU game isn't the big one. They desperately need LSU to beat Ole Miss or face having a division champ that lost to Memphis.

I'd imagine the SEC refs will teach those ACC pretenders a thing or two about officiating in that game.

I hope so...

Michigan state is the team that should be upset at this point, along with any members of the SEC that aren't ranked.

Bama lost by 6. They haven't lost by 14 in years (2013 season).

The main problem with bama's loss is that it wasn't necessarily an outlier. Bama is usually good for turning the ball over at extremely poor times at least twice a year.

Those rankings are a joke. And I'm not even referring to OSU at 3. 4-6 are reprehensible imo. Bama at 4, ND at 5, Baylor at 6. Absolute joke.

Yea the top3 I don't have an issue with.
But wtf is with Bama that high? Just don't see them as a playoff team at this point. Even if they beat LSU (and then arguably deserve that high of a ranking despite dropping Ole Miss at home) ... it's unlikely to tell us whether they've fixed either their pass defense or their pass offense. Their run defense is stout -- so wouldn't be surprising if they contained Fournette enough to eek out a win imo.
I guess I'll take it though. If we win out, we may see them again... and I think they're soft this year.

I have little doubt the pass defense is fixed. The entire offense is the question mark. The offensive line is horribly inconsistent.

Rankings are a huge joke, but the silver lining has to be sweet, sweet Briles tears.

Worst part is that it's clear that they are going to do everything in their power to get the fucking domers in.

Honestly, I'd cry with laughter if we got the Domers in a playoff game... not only for the tears, but for the imminent ass whooping.
Need to nail down our own offense and take care of business first though.

You're ranked in the low 30s in pass defense and I still see #4 out there getting toasted.
Last year you played only 3 teams capable of exploiting that -- you lost to 2 of them, and the 3rd was damn close til #4 got benched.
And now you're also doing it w/o Landon Collins.
