They have a difficult road for sure, and the games against Auburn and UGA will certainly determine where they end up.

However, I am talking about what they have done to date.

PS-This may sound strange (and not to look past Auburn) but I think 'Bama vs. UGA would be an epic SEC Championship game.

Ok, Auburn vs, UGA should be great too.

I hope Georgia wins 207-0.

How many times is Auburn going to wreck Alabama's season?

Just swell.

You're looking at it from an Alabama point of view as if Auburn is a team that just gets lucky. From their point of view, Alabama was a team they needed to beat so they could be in the playoffs, which is what they did and they should be in the top 4 come next week.

I should add that I'm not a fan of either team, although my son is a Bama fan and was none too happy.

As a long time Dawg fan, since Herschel Wakker days, I’ll root heartily for UGA. But I must admit, Auburn looks nearly unbeatable. Also have to give credit where it’s due: the War****Eagle coach is one helluva coach.

Where and when did I say Auburn is lucky?

Nothing more, nothing less.

And I'm pissed.
 
Strange weekend for me. Texas lost meaning they will not play in a bowl game, Stanford got into the Pac-12 Campionship game via a Washington State loss but most importantly UCLA beat Cal knocking Cal out of bowl contention.
 
Wild weekend as #1, 2, and 8 go down. I have put a suicide watch on my brother again, after Bamas latest disaster in the Iron Bowl. I note that #10 PSU went into College Park and barely escaped with a win, 66-3 (you really have to 'Fear the Turtle':rolleyes2:). Next up is my favorite game of any season, Army v Navy. Going to be an interesting game and a bit unusual in that Army has the superior record, 8-3 to Navy's 6-5. Army is the favorite in this year's game if for no other reason than Navy's poor defense is allowing 29 PPG. Both are rushing teams, so expect little in the way of aerial fire works. Go Navy! -- Al
 
Here's hoping Georgia wins and it will be Clemson, Oklahoma, Wisconsin and Georgia in the playoff, can't argue with any of those selections.

Wisconsin is undefeated, having played the march of the tomato cans this year, but hey, they're 11-0, so the whining if they don't get in will be off the charts. Reminds me of the year BYU was 11-0 and played a 6-5 Michigan team in their bowl game, beat them and won the national championship, it pays to play a bunch of tomato cans to go undefeated in college football.

If Auburn wins the conference championship, they'll get in ahead of Georgia, but someone needs to explain to me how a 2 loss team gets in ahead of one undefeated team and three other teams with 1 loss, that's pure and utter BS.

Before anyone blows smoke up my backside about strength of schedule, back in 2008 the Patriots played a brutally tough schedule and finished 11-5 but did not make the playoffs; should they have gotten in ahead of another team that played a cream puff schedule and won their division..................yeah I didn't think so.

If Clemson or OU lose their conference championship games, this whole thing is going to implode.

The committee needs to switch to an 8 team playoff with automatic bids to the power 5 and then 3 at large bids.

The 8 team playoff is a good idea. A few more upper level games in college football would be worth watching and might stop the constant problems with leaving deserving teams out of the big games. -- Al
 
Before you roast me again ^&grin, if Auburn wins doesn’t beating two Number 1 teams count for something?

Teams that get blown out usually respond well in the rematch. I like Georgia's chances. They should be primed for some payback and Auburn is coming off a big game. Always the risk of a letdown after playing Bama.
 
Wont it be interesting if:

A. Miami upsets Clemson!
B. Ohio St upsets Wisconsin
C. TCU gets revenge on Oklahoma
D. Auburn beats Georgia or vice versa


Then what happens? Miami, Alabama, Auburn/Georgia and who????

Side note, never thought I would print this, but if FSU wins next week, they are bowl eligible as they are playing the make up game. They could lose..........

Funny, the championship playoff was supposed to resolve all of this. :rolleyes2: Chris
 
The best four teams are Clemson, Oklahoma, Auburn, and Alabama. Wisconsin likely jumps Bama, though, if they beat Ohio St and finish undefeated. A lot of football to be played before a decision has to be made. I wouldn't be surprised if Wisconsin, Auburn, or Clemson lose and get knocked out. I can't see a two loss Ohio St. jumping a one loss Bama team to get in even if they beat the Badgers.

Doug,
in a way, I would like to see TCU win, OSt win, Miami win and Georgia win, it would have to make the ultimate statement that a larger playoff is needed. But in the world of Murphy's law, you watch, Clemson, Wisconsin, Auburn and OK all win and the wizards will use the same "see, the 4 team playoff solved all issues" statement.

So Jimbo picks up a $75 million contract to move to A&M. Wow. Talk about putting Darwinism on its head. And the coach at Arkansas who was fired after fielding a disastrous team gets $11 million for being fired. Absurd amounts of money in what is supposed to be a non-professional sport.

Ahhh, the players were and are still considered amateurs. The coaches never were. They aren’t really any different than coaches in the NFL.

Big college football programs bring in millions to their Universities. It has been “big business” for decades. This is news?

Joe Paterno and the Penn State administration allowed the horrific Sandusky situation to persist because he helped win games. Anything for a few more Ws. Talk about absurd.
 
Auburn is history. I'm sure George is relishing it. Al, your brother is a big Alabama fan, I recall. He, too, must be enjoying this game.

Brad, I'm sure he is. A Georgia win was Bamas best bet. -- Al
