Alabama or OSU?

[Cancel 2018.1]

Last year they created the precedent that you don't have to win your conference to get in the playoffs.

This year they avoided setting the precedent that a 2 loss team can get in when there are 1 loss teams in the rankings.

i can see the logic of choosing bama. They'll be very dangerous in the playoff.

Thanks a lot, Buckeye nation. You jerks just let Alabubba back into the playoffs...

Knowing your fondness for Alabama, this should be a fun fact for you, 3D.

Of the 4 head coaches in the playoffs, 3 of them have National Championship rings via their time at Alabama.

Bama's signature win was against LSU, same as Troy and Mss. State . Didn't win their div. in the conference.
OSU won their conference which was toughest in CF this year.

Choosing bama would put two from SEC and ignoring champions from two of the power five conferences.
I think it's a no brainer.

Alabama has ZERO wins against any team currently in the top 15 and their only loss was to a team that is highly ranked. OSU won their conference and beat some notable teams. Alabama couldn't win their division.

Maybe she watched the replay and thought it was live.

Yep. And if they could've gotten the committee to ignore the 30 point blowout at the hands of a 5 loss Iowa, they would have gotten in. The blowout by Iowa is what cost them the berth.

What the committee didn't seem to ignore was Saban's lips pressed against their asses.

Ohio State played 10 conference games, Alabama 8. It's a joke.

OSU won their conference. Alabama didn't.

The number of conference games means something. But not as much as you are claiming.

Alabama played 3 conference games against teams with losing records. Vandy, Arkansas, and TN. They ended the season with records of 5-7, 4-8, and 4-8 respectively.

Ohio State played 5 conference games against teams with losing records. Indiana, Rutgers, Maryland, Nebraska, and Illinois. Those teams ended the season with records of 5-7, 4-8, 4-8, 4-8, and 2-10, respectively.

So you will excuse me if I don't act too impressed over their scheduling an extra 4-8 team and a 2-10 team.

In fact, Ohio State played 6 teams that ended up with a losing record. Alabama only played 4 teams with losing records.

Interesting how when something helps Alabama you consider it meaningful but when it hurts them, it really isn't that important.

Alabama beat up the top contender 5-6 Mercer the week prior to getting beat by Auburn. I thought those warm up games were supposed to help prepare for the big ones.

I guess we'll see what she tells me. I asked nicely...

If she thinks she watched the live game last night, I wouldn't believe anything she tells me.
