Sorry, Alabama, it’s over … A 9-3 team might/probably will make the College Football Playoff, but it most certainly will not be Alabama. Not after that eFFort Saturday night at Oklahoma — emphasis on the 2 Fs in “effort.” Just when you think Jalen Milroe might actually be great enough to overcome all of Bama’s obvious issues this season, the tackle and tight end miss their assignment and he RPOs into concussion protocol. Or a decoy wideout in a jumbo package misses his block and sets up a pick-6. Honestly, I can’t remember a worse Alabama offensive line or a weaker backfield. I can’t remember a defense pointing more fingers at one another than getting said fingers on footballs, quarterbacks and running backs. We’ve gone from Brother Routes that produced touchdowns and titles to, “Bruh, what was that?” Maybe Kalen DeBoer fixes this. Probably he doesn’t. But it feels like I’ve spent every other week jumping on and off this rolling Tide of inconsistency. No more. The 2024 season ended Saturday. It’s time to move on. Indiana, that was your Playoff game … If only the rest of the world applied the same standard of underachievement, right? Instead of rightly burying Indiana’s Playoff chances — DOD, 3:47 PM, Columbus, Ohio, 11/23/2024 — we’re about to be greeted with an avalanche of excuses. Cue the caveats and, please, keep promoting irrelevant stats compiled against the weakest schedule in Power 4 to tell us how explosive Indiana’s offense is. The scoreboard wasn’t broken 2 weeks ago against Michigan, and it didn’t lie Saturday, either: Ohio State 38, Indiana 15. Even that’s being generous. Ohio State left 14 points on the board, and both of IU’s TDs were aided by questionable pass interference calls. Even with the gifts, IU set season-lows for points, passing yards (68), total yards (151) and probably a few other less interesting categories. None of it was surprising — unless you only listen to pot-stirrers like Danny Kanell, Tim Brando and Co. pumping nonstop nonsense. My advice? Don’t. As I wrote 2 weeks ago, a below-average Michigan team exposed Indiana’s offense as a paper champion after allowing just 20 points, 2 TDs and 246 yards. I told you Ohio State would make the Hoosiers look even more impotent. They did. For weeks I’ve said forget IU’s record, this team doesn’t have enough NFL-ready talent and isn’t physical enough to play with Playoff teams. Saturday, Ohio State punctuated that sentiment with an exclamation point. Indiana finally played a worthy Playoff opponent it was a first-round TKO. Curt Cignetti specializes in acting indignant, so it was no surprise that he essentially called everybody who doubts IU’s Playoff bona fides a bumbling idiot. “So obvious,” he said, before shutting down the questioner. Oh, it’s obvious all right … I guess an SEC team should be happy, though. Getting to host Indiana in a first-round game would be the next best thing to earning a bye.

I think that Oregon now being the only undefeated team left, unanimous No.1 for a couple of weeks, and idle this week, wasn't going to get jumped by Ohio State, who lost to Oregon. The rematch is coming, keep everything the way it is for now.

Indiana, losing to No,2 Ohio State at the 'shoe, their first and only loss this season, has a much better case than Alabama, who lost a couple hours later to unranked Oklahoma, without scoring a touchdown. This was, under new coach, DeBoer, a poorer showing than its loss to Vanderbilt. Texas is at A & M next week. Indiana has Purdue at home.

...the Indiana loss more than likely sinks the Hoosiers’ Cinderella march toward a coveted Playoff spot. The Hoosiers are still 10-1, but they scored 20 and 15 points, respectively, against the 2 best teams they faced this season, Michigan and Ohio State. Far from perfect, Indiana’s fate now in the hands of the Playoff committee SATURDAYTRADITION.COM Indiana was no match for Ohio State. The question now is: How much will that 1 game matter to the Playoff selection committee?

OBD has to play with a controlled rage on Saturday. The Huskies are 0-5 on the road this season, making them 0-6 just requires a focused effort from all three facets, offense, defense and special teams. As Jordan pointed out in the article, Oregon is clearly superior across the board. When you have two quarterbacks, you have no quarterbacks. Is that the situation for the Huskies? Whoever it is. hopefully they'll be getting to know Jordan and Matayo and why not Bryce, and if he can remain upright long enough to throw a pass, Jabbar would love to pick it off. Missed field goals were a huge problem in the losses last season, Atticus won't let that happen, though if everything goes the way it should, he'll just be needed for a lot of extra points.

Auburn beats A & M, 43-41 in 4 OT's. It's Georgia, by default.

USC 6 UCLA 3

USC ties it up, 3-3. Which one will score more than Alabama did first?

And had 3 losses in a season.

Alabama TD nullified by late penalty.

Blood is going to pour out of Finebaum's ears, which could cause a flood, Oklahoma 24 Alabama 3

Oklahoma 17 Alabama 3

Halftime: Oklahoma 10 Alabama 3

WSU has been Cougin it the whole game, Beavis 21 Cougs 17

OOU 3 Alabama 3

The game proved to Klatt and Cowherd that Ohio State would definitely beat Oregon in the CCG. Of course they said that the day after Oregon beat tOU so their thoughts aren't based on anything that happened on the field. Very little, except what Mike said about the Buckeyes pass coverage, can be transferred from this game to the rematch with Oregon. As the expression goes, "If you take, blank. blank, blank & blank away, the game would have gone completely differently."

It looks like you have to go with Georgia, who has had the hardest schedule and has looked the best at moments. The best an SEC team has looked this season was Georgia in the 2nd half of their loss to Alabama. But, the worst can also be Georgia in their win over Kentucky.

Was anything proven?
