That's why Bama is in the on deck spot. I think they'd have no problem taking two SEC teams and it could happen.That's a fair take. I don't like rematches in general. I just don't think OSU was a more deserving team at that point. Maybe someone else, I don't remember who the other good teams were. At a time when you're only picking two teams, one of those teams should never be one that lost to Iowa State.Quote:
It bothers me that we got a lame rematch in title game. Bama had their shot at LSU at home and blew it. It was unfair to LSU iMO to have to play them again.I think Bama's problem is the lack of quality wins. Not exactly their fault, but it is what it is. They've absolutely rolled the teams that should have have rolled. But unfortunately for them, the FSU win means nothing now. Throw in closer than expected games against A&M and Miss St, and you've got a point. But then I look at Ohio State, and their year has played out much the same way. The 1-point PSU win isn't as big as we all thought at the time, although it's better than Bama's FSU win. The rest of the OSU schedule turned out to be trash. They played one other good team (OU) and got beat. I understand that Bama may not "look like" a top 4 team to you, and I'm not sure that I'd disagree, but I wish there was a clear cut team who looks better. After Clemson and maybe Auburn, every team has a flaw or a black mark on their schedule.Quote:
I can agree to disagree on Bama. They don't look like a top 4 team this year to me. Especially down the stretch.I look at all the teams in the top 10, and I think of what the possible results would be if any two teams played each other. Throw conference affiliation out the window (and that's tough for anyone to do, I know). I'm just not sure that those three teams don't deserve to be in the top 6. The SEC overall was a disappointment this year, but those three teams are legit. I honestly think any of the three would have a strong chance to beat Miami, OSU, PSU, USC, TCU, Stanford, etc. With that in mind, I'm not sure who squeezes into the top 6 ahead of them. I don't think that necessarily points to a biased committee.Quote:
There are 3 SEC teams in top 6. I think there is a lot of bias on committee.
At any rate, fair points on both sides. Should be a fun weekend and playoff season.
Bama is capable of beating anyone, IMO.
