Alabama - Officially out of the CFP Playoffs

[Alright Alright]

Unless a miracle happens, the Alabama Crimson Tide is officially out of the CFP Playoffs. The LSU Tigers put a beat down on them Elephants in the first half. Have you ever seen a Nick Saban team play this way after a bye week?

Geaux Tigers beat them Georgia Bulldogs in the SEC Championship game!

[Big Bear]

Boom shocka locka!

[ttwarrior1]

mistakes will beat any team. Not impressed with either team. They lost with the early fumble and bad punt.

[MinnesotaFats]

Was starting Tua a mistake? He looked skiddish

So OSU, CLEM, LSU, SEC CHAMP 4A (if not LSU), OKL 4B???

[pavyracer]

The committee will decide. What you and I want is not going to happen. And the committee is contracted to the TV networks which ultimately will decide the 4 teams that will boost revenue.

[The Kraken]

Oklahoma needs wuite a bit of help imo

They have no one left on their schedule worth a damn, not sure where they’re gonna make up ground. I think Alabama and Georgia, and LAU if they lose a game this year are all in ahead of Okla

President Donald Trump just went to the Alabama locker room to give them a pep talk..

[pavyracer]

Basically wherever Trump goes it turns into a loss for the home team. He went to Nationals they lost to Astros. He goes to Alabama they lose to LSU. Guy needs to buy a rabbit's foot.

Ummm.. the guy pulled off the biggest upset ever in the history of the United States becoming president. Lol

If your team is playing a home game and Trump decides to attend you can count it as a loss.

Incorrect. See ohio state 2016 who lost at penn st and did Not win the big 10 title but made the CFP

[pavyracer]

If Utah wins the PAC 12 and Oklahoma wins the Big 12 they can't put Alabama in. It will be ridiculous.

[Shute]

No body knows
Still a lot of games to be played

[Shute]

Every year this nonsense starts
Let the season play out

[Plaza23]

If Alabama beats Auburn, they’ll still make the playoff.

[pavyracer]

If Alabama beats Auburn, they’ll still make the playoff.

I disagree. You can't make the playoffs by beating Duke, New Mexico St and Savannah School of Arts and losing to the only ranked team on your schedule.

[BroBuck23]

Bama is done. Nicky needs a new hair stylist because that dye job is terrible.

[homie1975]

If Alabama beats Auburn, they’ll still make the playoff.

Yes if they finish 11-1 they'll be in the discussion for CFP

[itchypickle]

We’ve been here before. Still plenty of time left and a 5 point loss to a number one might actually benefit since Bama could skip the extra conference title game and get in at 4 like previously.

LSU
Ohio State
Clemson
Bama

See the rematch coming!

[Plaza23]

Auburn will be a top 10 team by the time Alabama plays them on the road. If they win that game, they for sure make the CFP.

You don’t lose to the top team 46-41, with your QB on a bum ankle, and automatically get put out.

Alabama, Clemson, LSU, and Ohio State will be the 4.

Ya’ll don’t deserve a chance this year even tho I think they one of the best 4. Bottom line their schedule was sorry and there be more deserving conf champs even if not as good.,

I will say I think refs ruined that game with that redic fukkin so called catch on 1 yard line!! The Mfer clearly stepped out of bounds before catching ball and came back in, then I’m not sure he got foot in after that even tho it shouldn’t mattered!!! That play shoulda been loss of down too and it snowballed the score before half., one of worst calls I’ve seen.

That said bama played poorly, saban coached poorly, they should be out unless things just unravel in front of them.

Qb ankle was fine and they were at home!! When you play that schedule you don’t deserve it even if you are undisputedly one the best 4. You still should have to earn it!! And they didn’t this season.

I'm just glad we could all enjoy the game together. I love all of you so much.

Tua dropping the ball on first drive, the two TDs before the half all would be nice to have back but yes a sloppy as hell effort. LSU earner this win.

But as for the playoffs can’t help the schedule since it’s done years out. That said I think Bama all year better than the alternatives. Like I said above a 5 point loss to a top team looks better than a loss to K State, Minny and S Carolina etc. if this was the old 2 in BCS Bama would be out but with 4 slots to give I think they squeeze in.

[seaborneq]

Not fair to LSU again to have to play Bama again. LSU beat Bama in Tuscaloosa before and won the SEC, yet Bama won the national championship. THAT should NEVER happen again. Ever

[Plaza23]

What team deserves to make instead of Alabama if Alabama finishes 11-1 (beating Texas AM, Auburn, and losing to LSU).

Of all 1 loss teams, I guarantee Alabama will have the best resume. Losing to the #1 team is a higher quality of loss than OU losing to K State, or Georgia losing to South Carolina.

The only way Bama gets shut out is if there is a 4th undefeated team to join LSU, Ohio State, Clemson. The only possibility is Baylor winning out, and I doubt that happens

Scary loss might be bad but bama totally fukked if Uga sec champ, no freaking way 3 sec get in and no damn way they could put bama in LSU out! If LSU lost to Uga they would have way better case than bama.

I thought LSU was only team today who could lose this game and survive, they have the resume.

I’m def not trying to say bama isn’t one of 4 best, they absolutely are imo, but that can’t be the deciding factor or it makes the season meaningless, you have to earn it and no matter who fault or not it is they don’t have the resume.

Agreed LSU with one loss should be in. I can’t see Georgia beating this LSU team but who knows.

[shocka1212]

nah you already know the committee will get them in somehow. if they win the SEC they'll be in for sure.

Yea I dunno they will. Not sure they explosive enough in passing game and feel like you pretty much gotta score to stay w LSU!!

[pavyracer]

LSU has to lose twice for Bama to even make the SEC championship game.

[2daBank]

Of course but they can’t win sec

[jtoler]

once saban hits the podium and cries about how his team deserves to be in its anyone's guess he's done it every year when it was iffy only once they denied bama entry they have 2 chips they shouldnt have
