Bama will now move to #1 lol. Because it's Alabama. 

Really looking forward to the playoff committee’s pretzel logic for putting in 3 SEC schools.

You know it's a good day when Alabama loses.

Thought Tennessee was gonna blow it but Alabama did in the last minute

Trayce and Race at the game.  TJD's brother, Tayven, is a freshman QB on the Tennessee squad.

UT beats UGA in another barn burner, Bama beats UT in the SEC title game rematch, all 3 get in with Ohio State after FSU clips Clemson tonight and USC drops a conference game somewhere along the way.

That’s no fun. That’d be defensible. I need USC, Ok St, either OSU or UM and Clemson to all win out. Since a 1 loss Bama would have to be a conf champ, they’ll get in with their personal mulligan. A 1 loss Tennessee ain’t gettin’ in.  So the interesting one would be a 1 loss Georgia if they aren’t a conference champ. Have they reached the Alabama mulligan cache point yet? If they got in over 2 undefeated conference champs, then the answer’s yes. 
Thaat’s what I want to see.

Georgia easily has the toughest remaining schedule of the 3 SEC contenders, so if they beat everyone else besides losing a close one to Tennessee with what they have left (that’s a huge if: UF, @Miss St and UK), they happily let Bama and UT kill each other in Atlanta and walk their happy aces in as the 4-seed, imo. I think the one-loss defending champ gets the nod over one-loss Clemson, USC, Michigan/OSU and I don’t think there are any G5s this year. Looks like the Big 12 might have already cannibalized itself out of the CFP discussion.

I mean they went on the road and beat a top 25 team while playing their back up QB and got dropped. While Georiga hasn't been that impressive moved up. Polls don't really love Bama that much

Meh Bama is fine to me. **** Dabo and Jimbo though. Both are giant babies so whoever they are coaching its great when they lose. Screw Purdue and ND too

Not only did they witness a classic football game but this as well.

Peyton is 6’5”. Basketball players are huge.

Can't wait for IU fans on Twitter to start freaking out about our basketball players wearing a different school's T-shirts.

yes he is.  Indiana tried recruiting him a little

Probably not on a whole lot of sports viewers' radars tonight, but ...

South Alabama vs. Troy on ESPNU. 

Kane Wommack, our former DC, is South Alabama's head coach. They're 5-1 this year. 

Wondering if he's destined for bigger and better things. 

In 2019, our one "real" season of success under CTA (I'm now writing off 2020 -- COVID just made everything a little too weird) our OC was Kalen DoBoer and our DC was Wommack.

It will definitely be interesting to see what happens with him if he continues doing well there.  It's also worth noting their one loss was to UCLA, who is now #9 in the country, and South Alabama should have won that game.

Thank you Louisville. Wake Forest was feasting on playing a horrible schedule again

 

Oklahoma State with one of the worst performances by a top 10 team of all time
