You do know they had 20+ opt outs, right?

I'm talking about CFP teams- how the committee should have selected.

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

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 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 $$.

      Does anyone actually think Bryce will actually be good?

      Where will the wins come from? (my early predictions)

      By ProcessBlue2 · Posted

      I'm too lazy to make my own format so I am stealing yours.  Week 1: Sept. 8 at New Orleans  (W) 17-6 Running game and Derek Carr having a horrible opener gets the win. Week 2: Sept 15 vs. Los Angeles Chargers (L) 24-10 Hype from Week 1 goes away when Harbaugh and Herbert show up. Week 3: Sept 22 at Las Vegas  (W) 16-13 Complete defensive struggle but Panthers win on last minute FG.  Week 4: Sept. 29 vs. Cincinnati  (L) 30-13 Score is actually worse but Panthers score in garbage time. Week 5: Oct. 6 at Chicago (L) 21-10 Horrible performance by Bryce in a winnable game and even his fans start to think he's not it, press conference questions get worse and calls for benching intensifies.  Week 6: Oct. 13 vs. Atlanta (L) 20-17 Running game becomes 70% of offense to help Bryce, it works but can't get job done at the end. Week 7: Oct. 20 at Washington  (W) 21-14 Running game/defensive comes through; Bryce does okay. Week 8: Oct. 27 at Denver (L) 27-7 Complete offensive collapse. Week 9: Nov. 3 vs. New Orleans (L) 30-24 Saints keep shooting themselves in the foot but we provide them a turnover-fest and they come back in the 2nd half.  Week 10: Nov. 10 vs. N.Y. Giants (Munich, Germany) (L) 24-6 Worse offensive performance of our season. Week 11: Nov. 17 BYE Week 12: Nov. 24 vs. Kansas City (L) 34-31 OT Dalton takes over for Bryce to try to salvage season. Plays close game; gives team a slight bump. Week 13: Dec. 1 vs. Tampa Bay (W) 28-27 Dalton has nice game. Canales beats his former team in a stunner.  Week 14: Dec 8 at Philadelphia (L) 27-14 Tough crowd, tough game, run out of gas in the 4th.  Week 15: Dec: 15 vs. Dallas (L) 31-24 This will be out "worse officiated game of the year." and we will all accuse the NFL of trying to get the Cowboys in the postseason. Week 16: Dec. 22 vs. Arizona (W) 26-10 Solid win by Dalton and co.  Week 17: Dec. 29 at Tampa Bay (W) 12-10 Canales sweeps his former team and knocks them out of the postseason in an absolute rain fest. Week 18: Jan. 4 or 5 at Atlanta (L) 28-20 Close game but Atlanta holds us off.    Panthers finish 6-11. Dalton's mediocre performance shows just how bad Young really was. Panthers start the search for the next QB.

      Want to see something crazy?  Look in Bryce stats after Dallas game.  They parked Bryce and told him to play conservative. Bryce first 9 games: 9 TDs, 8 Int, ~1,600 total yards.   Bryce last 8 games: 2 TD, 2 Int, ~1,600 total yards.  With just 1 game over 200 yards passing.  If you remove that game… Bryce is 0 TDs, 2 Int, and 1,300 total yards in 7 games. Just disaster the way the handled him.  Dude regressed as the season went on.  He took zero chance.  Just stayed in the pocket and got pounded.
