It should come down to either Bama or Georgia, not both. If Georgia wins, Bama is out. If Georgia loses, then Georgia is out because they lost to Bama.

Putting two SEC teams with three losses in the playoffs would be insane. There’s no way that should happen.

Forde lays it out perfectly. Stanky planted the flag early and the SEC minions continued the drum beat thru every SEC loss, and down playing every Miami win. Losses don’t count anymore. It’s the size of your brand and your wallet.When the SEC whips out that Big Swining Richard, wrapped in $1000 dollar bills, its eye ball popping and a lot of heads snap to attention. Three losses, maybe 4, and here we are. Canes have to climb back up that mountain to be relevant again. The system is more rigged than 20yrs ago, bc,.. MONEY. Money talks Bull**** walks🙌🏽

There was a surprising amount of it prior to the rankings as well. Let’s be real, nothing was going to keep the committee from putting Bama in. They’re going to put them in over SMU if Clemson wins Saturday. Honestly my only hope is that happens and the ACC and Big12 finally grow a pair and do something because they will have every non-SEC fan’s support behind them, but we know that won’t happen.

The reality is..we are far more exciting than Bama. And everyone loves Cam Ward. It’s funny they left FSU out last year because they were not quality enough to be in due to no Jordan Travis but this year they didn’t use the same rules as it pertained to UM and Bama. We absolutely are the better team even if they feel like we aren’t more deserving. They just make up the rules as they go.
 
I"ll try to spin this as a positive through the power of beta thinking. Right now Cam Ward is looking like a top 3 pick. Depends on whether he is ranked higher than Sanders as to whether he is a top 2 (I think he should be). He's likely going to a pretty good franchise in the Giants. Most of us agree that playing Notre Dame in single digit weather was not going to end well. Last thing we needed was Ward getting hurt while we get crushed by the Domers. Not unlikely that Notre Dame defense (championship caliber) shuts down our offense either. Would have sucked to see Ward throwing a bunch of picks because we are trying to catch up from 3 scores down as our defense played like it always does, and then that hurting his draft status, and he goes from top 3 to mid to late first or worse.

Recruits are all seeing the national media essentially unanimous that UM got screwed out of the playoffs, so Cristobal gets to use that as as selling point. "We were absolutely a playoff team and but we got screwed- just turn on any tv channel and see what they are saying." And Ward gets to finish his season as a Heisman finalist, with the final impression being a great one.

So if you are willing to think like someone with low T, we ended up with the best case scenario.

The media was mostly Alabama should be in the playoff. Almost unanimously with a few outliers that predicted Miami would be in but said it could go either way.

Only after the CFP poll did this semblance of a Miami got screwed narrative emerge. The media doesn't think Miami should be in. It's entertainment. It's what drives views, clicks, and more importantly dollars.

In a small way it backfires because most of our fan base has battered woman syndrome. And we all know that we had a chance and blew it.

The Alabama bias is undeniable. Even SEC homers are complaining about it.

If any other team had a loss to Vanderbilt AND a 24-3 loss to a 6-6 team on their resume, their third loss wouldn't matter. They wouldn't be under consideration.

I mean.. They dropped the fewest spots for any team EVER after a loss Vanderbilt.

At some point, losses have to matter.
 
I genuinely think we're a Louisville win against Stanford away from them having no good excuses to keep us out. Losing that game they way they did, man.

In a different universe Louisville doesn't collapse against Stanford and GT figures out how to convert one 2 pt conversion in OT against GT. Then they're both ranked.

The argument the chairman made was about Alabama's record vs their top 25, which explains why they kept Missouri in.

Louisville and Duke were 27 and 28 in the AP. That committee would've been out of talking points if Missouri was out and those 2 were in.
