1 loss Bama

  • WarrX said...

    TAMU is top 20 in the computers. If you don't consider them to be a decent game, then there really aren't many decent teams out there at all, are there? Btw, LaTech only has 1 loss (to TAMU), is ranked, and is #2 nationally in total and scoring offense. Ole Miss is 5-3 and isn't that bad - pretty good road win for TAMU. TAMU's 2 losses were to top 10 teams, but they were held in check offensively, so how exactly has TAMU exposed the SEC as being overrated?

    Top 20 in the computers. And that means what?
    Ole Miss is horrible, they got beat by Texas 66-31 in their own crib and it was worse than that final score.

    A&M is a decent team, they are about the same as UCLA. So if we are talking about fringe top 20 teams,
    then yes A&M is in the discussion.

    A&M moving to the SEC and being ranked with a weaker team than last year just proves what I've said all along that the top conferences like the SEC, Pac12, and Big12, and the BigTen in better years, are all pretty similar, it just depends on who has the best team at the top.

    A&M being ranked where they are also goes to show that when you are in the SEC they will rank even if your only good win of the season was having to stop La Tech's 2 pt conversion attempt that would of sent a 59-57 game into overtime. Arizona and UCLA are better than A&M and Miss State.

    Weak? Maybe you haven't noticed that Bama is 3rd in the computers and is not far behind ND and KSU in the composite. Bama has #5 and #16 in the BCS upcoming and then another game against a #10 BCS team if they make it to the SECCG. That will quickly make up the gap as ND plays 3 cupcakes plus USC who will have 3-4 losses this year...unless ND loses to them. KSU may stay ahead of Bama, but they don't have a CCG, so it's likely that Bama ends up #1 in the computers if undefeated. If that schedule is considered weak, then EVERYONE's schedule is weak.

    ously an

    currently bama has played the #26 ranked sos. Obviously an undefeated bama is in no matter what. a 1 loss bama has a 0.0% chance of jumping an undefeated oregon or k state.

    Possibly, but I think an undefeated Kansas St. is in if they win out.

    With a 3 point loss at LSU several things would have to happen.

    1. The PAC-12 & Big 12 would need to start picking each other off such that Oregon & Kansas St.'s good wins are over three and four loss teams; 2. Oregon would need to play poorly/barely beat USC, Stanford & Oregon St.; 3. Kansas St. would need to do the same in their remaining games; 4. Alabama would need to put epic beat downs on Texas A&M, Western Carolina, Auburn & the SEC East Champ*. 5. Alabama would need to be the victim of several bad calls, one of which the media agrees cost them a chance to win.

    *It would probably benefit Alabama if Georgia somehow lost to Ole Miss or Auburn, but have Florida destroy FSU and then have Alabama blast Florida in the SEC Championship game.

    Keep in mind that Oregon hasn't played a top 15 team yet and they likely will not get a chance to play one until they get to a bowl game.

    Kansas St. has beaten #6 & #13 on the road and #14 at home. They'll get #24 on Saturday and may get a ranked Texas at the end of the year. Going to be hard to keep that resume out.

    just stop. it would be impossible for a 1 loss bama team to jump an either undefeated oregon or k state team

    Last year, I would have said it was impossible for a team that could not win its own division, much less conference, to go to the MNC.

    But hey, if we fill up the top 10 with SEC frauds, then they can beat one another all day and never drop out of the top 10.

    That's putting it nicely Bama has a weak schedule, period. They get the same BS next year when they miss UF, UGA, and South Carolina again..

    Lets say they have a 3 point loss to.LSU, Lsu finishes with two losses. Bama wins the SEC. Will they get in over,,, undefeated KState or Oregon?? MNCG has had an SEC team every year since 07, had two last year. Tough to see the title game without a SEC team.

    They absolutely WOULD play for natty if they lose to another SEC team, but they aren't losing to LSU. The polls/ranking have shown a skewed bias to the SEC schools. Just look at south carolina (losses to sec schools), lsu (lost to florida and only quality win is against a team florida beat, yet is ranked ahead of florida), UGA and miss state (prior to bama game). Miss st was a joke with at 11 with the teams they had played (prior to bama), yet, because they were in the SEC they were ranked high.
    If a SEC school loses to another SeC school, then that team gets a half loss or something in the polls. If a SEC school loses to a non SEC school, then it was a fluke and the SEC school should still be ranked. This is what the recent history of these polls has shown us, so I have no doubt that trend will continue IF bama were to lose one game.

    Tired of hearing the weak schedule BS. Schedules are made out a year in advance Michigan was pre season #8 can't help they looked so bad aginst Bama. Everyone thought Arkansas would be good, and listening to Mizzu fans one would have thought they would compete for the SEC title in year one. Bama went to Tenn. and destroyed them what we didn't dream preseason is that MSU would be #11 when they came to Tuscaloosa and got shutout til the second team D let them get a late TD. Now Bama must travel to LSU at night, then Texas A&M and Auburn remain, and I don't care what anyone thinks Bama will get AU's best game they have played in over a year no matter how pitiful it may be.

  • Bama can't help how the chips may fall . If Nick Saban wanted to win games by playing a watered down schedule he would coach in the PAC 12. Not our fault we make good teams look so bad.
