November 24, 20196 yr Later Oregon. They could have won the rest of their games and still not deserved to be in the top 4 over a 1 loss Bama/Georgia/LSU.. Glad that debate was ended tonight.
November 24, 20196 yr I'd like to see LSU/Oklahoma and Ohio State/Clemson. .... Bama will be the 4 seed if LSU beats Georgia.
November 24, 20196 yr .... Bama will be the 4 seed if LSU beats Georgia. Maybe so, but Oklahoma will still have a conference title game that gives them one last chance to impress. That said, that's still the two games I want to see.
November 24, 20196 yr If Alabama gets in at #4, does the committee invent some reason to bump LSU down to #2, so Alabama and LSU don't play in the first round? If Alabama gets in, it will be Ohio State/Alabama and LSU/Clemson...but it shouldn't be.
November 24, 20196 yr I absolutely am. Until the Pac 12 shows they belong, they don't IMO. Nailed it.
November 24, 20196 yr .... Bama will be the 4 seed if LSU beats Georgia. Which would suck for LSU. The last time LSU won the SEC Championship. They got stuck then having to play Bama again in the National Championship and had to try to beat them a second time and was unable to. Now that very well may happen again to them. Where they already beat Bama and win the SEC title but get stuck having to try to beat Bama a second time.
November 24, 20196 yr Nailed it. It’s easy to see when you don’t let conference biases cloud your judgement.
November 24, 20196 yr What have Bama and UGA done to show they belong more than Oregon and Utah? Update: Not lose to Arizona State.

November 24, 20196 yr Without Tua it doesn't matter. I don't think Alabama can beat the top 3, without him. Maybe not. We will know more about that after seeing how their backup qb does against a really good Auburn defense.
November 24, 20196 yr These threads are interesting as the debate goes back and forth. I don't get too deep into it because it all changes every week. e.g. Oregon loss. I get a chuckle watching the consternation and debate because it has been proven almost every year that it is a waste of energy to get too upset with the rankings early in the year. It seems like it always works its way out as the season rolls on. I just casually observe and wait for the teams to sort it all out as they play though their schedules. Personally, I think the final four has been accurate each year and I don't want more than four teams in the playoff.
