No disrespect meant to your Tide, but that was one of the weakest Alabama teams I've seen in a long time.  They got lucky against Auburn and Saban and Co. game planned well for the Georgia game.  As @kungfoodudesaid Georgia didn't have an elite QB (and yes Stetson Bennett was an elite college QB), and Bama took advantage of it and still only won by 3.

The Alabama brand and losses by Oregon and the whole FSU fiasco was what allowed them to slide in, but don't fool yourself...the elite Tide teams that we remember would have rolled Michigan today and you see what happened.  They play Georgia 5 times, Georgia beats them 4 outta 5. 

Saban and Co. better find some speed again because to me that's what they lacked at WR and in their secondary.

I totally understand what you are saying in regards to this Bama team not being anywhere near the Bama teams of the past decade-plus. However, they had one loss in the SEC and beat the team that has held the #1 ranking for the past two seasons. I think that places them directly in the conversation for the playoffs. 

On the other hand, I also feel FSU got robbed. If Travis were healthy, Bama would have been left out, and I would have been fine with that. 

Maybe Bama wasn’t the best option for a playoff spot, but they weren’t “undeserving” of that spot based on record, strength of schedule, conference title, and health of players.

In this Top 4, head-to-head means absolutely nothing. If Georgia were better than Bama, they would have won the SECCG. 

It was a perfect storm (in a bad way) cuz Georgia was definitely one of the top 4 teams.  Couldn’t put Bama there without Texas getting in

I agree that Bama wasn't undeserving, I just think that Oregon and Georgia were better.  This all would be moot if they could have gone ahead and agreed to implement the 12 team playoff this year, but you know $ and wheeling and dealing comes before sanity.

Funny how things got so screwy right before expansion

I also thought they should have gotten in but I have changed my opinion now.  

I don't think the curb stomping they took at the hands of a full Georgia team (no healthy players opting out) should detract from their season.  It was unfortunate that Travis got hurt and even their second string QB got concussed. 

They got snubbed and the players entering the draft or the portal decided it wasn't worth showing up.  Should they have, yeah I believe all these players on FULL RIDES to college should play, but again $$.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      I think in all honestly, the final 2 games are carrying most of the weight in a lot of Bryce talk IMO.    During the window where he "blew it out of the water" window......were a lot of games where he was not above average.  AZ is largely one of those stat sheet games.   Where the stat sheet reflects QB play that didn't exist in the game.  That game was all Chuba.  Meh vs Dallas.  Meh vs Philly.  Meh vs Giants.  Probably average vs Tampa, Den, Saints.  Bryce made HUGE strides vs what he was.  We should be happy.   But when you start comparing him to the rest of the league.....people I think are going too far.  His best aspect in reality.....is his scrambling.  And that's probably not a great thing give his size.

      Mays and Zavala looked lost in the Reich offense.  Granted Zalava was probably playing too soon due to injuries but he looked terrible.  This new staff seems to be doing well with our OL.  I also wonder if having two vets in Hunt and Lewis just made life that much easier on whoever was/is playing center.
