We may get left out of the playoffs even if we win out
Oct 13, 2019, 2:46 PM

Oklahoma will win out, the winner of Ohio St/ Penn St game is most likely going, and two SEC teams may be chosen over us due to “strength of schedule”. Not that cheering for a bad conference will do anything to change our plight, but not having to listen to retards getting on us people that do have brain cells would be nice. I don’t care about these other teams in the ACC either, but I and some others do know what this could mean like it has for a two year undefeated UCF team. Schedule matters!

If Alabama loses to LSU, I can see a one loss Bama getting in over an undefeated Clemson if Oklahoma, Ohio St and LSU win out.

So in that scenario who would Bama have beaten to give them the edge over an undefeated and conference champion Clemson with wins over two SEC teams?
And who is OU’S markee win? Texas?

AU would be their only ranked win. One to our none. Unless the ACC Coastal winner gets ranked.

Hey I’m more nervous of Oklahoma this year than I am Bama. Whoever draws them will have their hands full. Bama will have to beat Auburn of course. I’m praying they lose to both and Florida beats Georgia, LSU smacks Florida like they should have last night in the SEC Championship.

If a 1 loss Bama team were to get into the playoffs over an undefeated CLEMSON Team it would be one of the worst decisions IMO in college football. If we were to go undefeated 2 consecutive years and as the 2018 NC’s then be left out of the CFP’s because the committee selected a team based on the HC’s name, the school’s name and the conference they play in would destroy my faith in college football.
I am already certain the NBA and NFL are fixed for entertainment value and the millions of dollars the sports bring in. If we a screwed out of the playoffs it will be due to money and television ratings, not team performance.
Alabama beat A&M by 19 points we beat A&M by 14 points. However, I think we held A&M scoreless until we started subbing. Plus Bama’s schedule is not much different than ours. Their big game is LSU. Head to Head we are a better team than Bama. But because of conference affiliation CLEMSON could be left out of the playoffs. Especially if Oklahoma goes undefeated I think the committee would select them over Clemson to finally get a Big 12 team in the playoffs. ( A little wordy but I am sick of all of these sports guys falling all over nick saban, bama and the sec) Bama’s schedule is pretty easy except for LSU.

we could be undefeated and left out. We lost a game and still made the playoffs with one loss
As the #1 seed, no less.

We win out and we are in. Plain and simple. I don’t think anyone on the cfp committee will vote to keep an undefeated national champion out.

We win. We are in. As has been posted: by the time the playoff is selected if we are undefeated we would have won 28 straight games. 28 straight games. Twenty-Eight. Two from 30 in a row!
Zero chance they leave a team with a National Title twice out of the last 3 years and 28 game winning streak out of the CFP. Zero chance under whatever wild scenario.
Ohio St. was left out and Bama put in two years ago b/c Ohio St. had losses! We wouldn't if we win out. See the difference? The committee has said, "winning your conference means more than anything" to them. So, it would be put up or shut up. Some have even said, "they didn't feel great about putting a team in that didn't even win it's own division" out in public. So, don't look for it to happen again! Especially over a team that would have won Twenty-Eight Straight football games!

FSU had won the last BCS not the last playoff NC. The difference being - these same folks picked Clemson last year- then they witnessed the Tigers dominate two of the most storied programs in college football history!
Huge difference. Plus this - FSU last few games that year they were extremely shakey: 30-26 win versus unranked Miami. Then a 20-17 win versus un-ranked Boston College. Then a 24-19 win versus un-ranked Florida. Then they barely won the ACCCG by beating Georgia Tech 37-35.
But, they still got in. That is the point. I think our Tigers are just the opposite. We will be playing at a high level near the end of the year; not the opposite way around.

Just kidding of course but we hear the same thing every year. It has gotten old and nobody should be buying into at this point. The committee does not think like a bunch of delusional fans or the sports analysts that pander to their wishful thinking.

We control our destiny. We win- were in. Simple. Period. End of conversation. There is no way the committee will take a one loss Non-conference champion over an undefeated conference champion. Haven't done it yet. Will not do it. Only way one conference gets two teams in is if one or several conferences have a one loss champion. So. If we win out - were in. Stop making Drama.......

Your assumption is just not logical. In fact, it's so unlikely that it's not even worth considering.
The CFP playoff will never ever leave out an undefeated Clemson.....like a 99.9% chance we make the CFP.
If we lose a game then you can start getting nervous.
Until then...just relax.

Most folks here are in complete denial of the current ground swell against us. We can easily get left out and it’ll be done without much of an explanation. Just hope everybody but us loses multiple games.

Won't happen. The committee has a protocol they go by... The first thing listed in that... Championships. An undefeated champion will never be left out unless all 5 Power 5 Conference Champions are all undefeated and then they have to truly decide by SOS. But a one loss team with no conference championship will never go in over an undefeated conference champion.
https://collegefootballplayoff.com/sports/2016/10/24/selection-committee-protocol.aspx
When circumstances at the margins indicate that teams are COMPARABLE, then the following criteria must be considered:
Championships won Strength of schedule Head?to?head competition (if it occurred) Comparative outcomes of common opponents (without incenting margin of victory)
Some of the guidelines and protocols expected to be established to guide the committee would include, but not be limited to, the following:
While it is understood that committee members will take into consideration all kinds of data including polls, committee members will be required to discredit polls wherein initial rankings are established before competition has occurred
Any polls that are taken into consideration by the selection committee must be completely open and transparent to the public;
Strength of schedule, head?to?head competition and championships won must be specifically applied as tie?breakers between teams that look similar;
Committee members associated with any team under consideration during the selection process will be required to recuse themselves from any deliberations associated with that team;
.... So key word there, stated multiple times.. COMPARABLE. A one loss team without a conference championship is NOT comparable with an undefeated conference champion.
