    You spend time dreaming that your part of a team when there is absolutely no proof of it.

    As long as they win it is fine. Losing to an unranked team hurt them last year.

    The team represents the UA. I am part of the UA.

    And this is the last that needs to be said about it. It derails the topic. Don't like my use of the pronouns? Tough.

    I've explained the fault in your argument. Using the argument you're making, Alabama wouldn't be winning without you supporting them.

    I don't care what pronouns you use. You're welcome to build your ego as much as you want. It doesn't change that you're nothing more than a loud-mouthed little bitch.

    Despite you claiming that a loss later hurts more than one earlier in the season, that wasn't the case with Alabama. They lost, didn't play in the SEC championship, yet made the playoffs. That, alone, proves your claim wrong.

    That is one of the pluses about playing tougher teams late. It gets you ready for bowl games or the playoffs.

    The drawback is injuries.

    The loss, to a team ranked #6 dropped Alabama from #1 to the #5 spot. Had the other teams won out, it would have kept Bama out of the playoffs. But they didn't.

    They barely made the playoffs,and probably wouldn't have,had OSU not got beat down so bad the year before in the playoffs by Clemson!

    In other words, a loss by Alabama late in the season doesn't matter but one to other teams does.

    Interesting how you admit Alabama didn't earn their way in.

    The beatdown by Clemson may have been a part of it. But being manhandled by Iowa (who ended the season unranked) probably hurt more.

    I admitted nothing of the kind. It is common knowledge that losses late have a greater effect. But losing to a highly ranked team means it doesn't knock you down as far. Alabama dropped from #1 to #5 with a loss to a top 10 team. Ohio State dropped from #3 to #11 with a loss to the #25 team. So it is fairly consistent.

    Wisconsin was the only 1 loss team in the top 10 who did not make the playoffs. The rest of the ranked teams had 2 losses or more. Bama had 1. That is why we got in. And considering the outcome, it was a good decision by the committee.

    Iowa came to play, that is for sure.
