DrJacksPlaidPants Moderator No. 3 Share Posted December 6 They will make it happen. Bama is a lock. There is absolutely zero chance that only three SEC teams will be in the playoffs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles Fischer Administrator No. 4 Share Posted December 6 Suddenly the objective has changed to "make the Playoff," as opposed to making sure that every team that has a legit chance of winning the 'Natty is in the Playoff. Any team beaten 24-3 by an unranked team late in the season is NOT a serious option to win the NC, IMHO. 2 2 Mr. FishDuck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That alone should get them bumped out of the top 25. I would have less of a problem with South Carolina being in the top 12. At least the Gamecocks are hungry and have steadily improved. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with this. It should have been South Carolina. While Alabama was busy losing to a 2-6 conference team, South Carolina has been on a roll since October, beating three ranked teams in the process. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bama, Ole Miss, and South Carolina are 9-3. The Gamecocks were blown out at home by Ole Miss and lost to Bama. South Carolina was the PO Gamecock Come Lately but IMO they do not have the resume to jump Ole Miss or Bama. Louisville defeated Clemson in Clemson far more emphatically than did So. Carolina. Ditto Georgia in the game played in Atlanta. USC East was hosed by the refs vs. LSU and had nice wins at 6-6 Oklahoma and vs. 8-4 A+M, but Wofford, Akron, and Old Dominion don't move the needle and USC should not jump over teams with the same record it lost to. You know what could have helped USC's cause, a 9th conference game vs Bama but the loss to Ole Miss would still be on the resume. We'll see if SC blows out a B1G team in its bowl game. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Joseph Moderator No. 11 Share Posted December 6 3/2/1 Format? In 2026 I think we will see 4 B1G/ 4 SEC/ 2 ACC/ 2 B12/ 1 G5/ and 3 AL. Here are three ways to fix the biased College Football Playoff selection process. LAWLESSREPUBLIC.COM The 12-team College Football Playoffs was supposed to bring an added measure of fairness, access, and democracy in determining a national champion. Instead, th Committee Chair Warde Manuel, whose Michigan team played 6 donut holes OOC in 2022 and 2023 and made the PO both years: "You can only play the schedule you have in front of you" ["Unless you are Miami and Alabama."] "The B12? Boise State has a worse SOS and SOR than the B12 champ and runner-up will have but have seen Jeanty? Wow!" F-A-R-C-E. As Dan says, "Forget the furor and just win. That shuts everybody up.

Jon Joseph Moderator No. 14 Share Posted December 6 How About, YES! This Committee has been rudderless from the start.

I respect that opinion. I think for me, it is more about who is trending in the right direction and who can compete right now. Bama has been struggling and couldn’t even score against TD against a team with 2 conference wins. South Carolina has won 6 straight games down the stretch. Three of those games were against Top 25 teams in the month of November and may include a CCG winner if Clemson beats SMU. For me, one team is trending up, while the others (Miami, Bama, and Ole Miss) are trending down. I would have liked to see South Carolina get rewarded for their improvement on the field over the past 2 months.

Dave23 No. 18 Share Posted December 7 When it comes down to it SMU hasn't played Alabama and all the musings of the pundits about well Alabama played the tougher schedule are irrelevant when you lose like they have. SMU getting penalized for playing another game and a total of two more conference games than Alabama should count for something. The only way we'll know if SMU is worthy is by putting them in the playoffs and letting them prove it. We already know Alabama isn't worthy. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
