It's been pretty much agreed upon that Alabama's schedule is weak, right?
So why are they #1 in most of the computers? checkmate atheists
>>63939305
>this OP
Alabama is shiiiiiiiiiiiit
>>63939305
because they're stats look good on paper, but they haven't beaten a team with less than 3 losses and lost to Ole Miss
the SEC is in for another shitty bowl season because all those mediocre teams that got bowl eligible by playing each other are going to get matched up against decent teams and get murdered.
>>63939724
I hope they play oklahoma and get exposed. Saban can't stop the spread!
>>63939815
both Oklahoma and Clemson are matchup nightmares for Bama, with extremely strong front sevens and good to great secondaries so coker's all sec (aka mediocre) passing abilities will be nullified
they both have mobile qbs that will give their plodding d-line men nightmares of all those wind sprints they didn't do and quality receiving corps to exploit the weak secondary of bama
>>63939861
I can't disagree that Bama doesn't matchup well with them offensively if you look at past games. I have a hard time believing Coker could win the game with his arm a la McCarron, if they can shut down Derek Henry. And these mobile QBs have been Saban's kryptonite.
But you are selling Bama's D FAR short. Their defensive line is not "plodding" at all. Alabama has had difficulty in the past because they have not been able to generate pass rush with 4-- they have been mostly run-stopping specialists. Bama has been forced to play zone and given mobile QBs too much time to find holes and create plays. And when they have played man they haven't been able to get pressure and leave the scramble open. Getting too far downfield and lacking quickness has hurt them.
But Saban has made adjustments. Thias is one of the greatest D-lines of all time, especially considering their depth. They have big bodies and quickness. The LBs also play well in space. But the pressure they can get with just 4 has really helped the secondary this year. They absolutely shut down Dak Prescott and didn't let Harris beat them with his legs, to say nothing of how they adjusted against Auburn. This college defense is the best I have seen in my 27 years, maybe just short of 2011 Bama due to lack of depth in the secondary. But Cyrus Jones can shut down a WR (if he plays the ball) and Saban now has the personell on defense to matchup well with any offensive scheme.
But it will all come down to Coker's arm, and I'm not confident there. He holds it way too long. At least he can shake off hits.
>>63939305
Because the computers all agree that Bama's played the toughest schedule of the top 4
>>63939724
Coker is the worst QB in the west outside of Harris.
He's not all SEC. Your hate boner is funny.
>>63941200
come on now he's better than either of the dudes Auburn's trotted out this year
SEC is going to maul in the bowls this year. This year the only weak west team was Auburn.
>>63941224
I suppose you're right about that.
But he is definitely worse than
>Dak
>Kelly
>Allen
>Either TAMU QB
>>63941268
>TAMU
going solely off their play this year he's better than Murray and about tied with kyle Allen
>>63941245
>Arkansas lost to Toledo and tech
>>63939815
>>63939861
>>63940231
Friendly reminder that all the key plamakers on the Oklahoma squad that beat Bama in 2013 are still here, but with arguably the best quarterback in cfb. Saban is praying he doesn't get matched to Oklahoma, since they'd be playing in Dallas which is deep in OU territory.
>Oklahoma lost to fucking Texas
>beat TCU by 1 at home without TCU having Boykin
>beat Baylor without Russell at the helm for the Bears
>w-we'll beat B-Bama, j-just watch, tOSU 2-2-2.0!!!
I'm gonna enjoy puttin my big fat Bama cock down all yalls mouthes
>>63946862
>since they'd be in Dallas
Wrong
So what happens if North Carolina manages to beat Clemson? Playoff chaos, and would be a thrill to see.
is mark richt a good hire?
>>63947016
Alabama wins another fucking championship
>>63947045
I would be more concerned about Oklahoma and MSU than Clemson.
>>63947061
>MSU
There's no way that meme team gets past Iowa
>>63947061
Alabama is built to beat teams like MSU. When is the last time Alabama lost a slugfest? 2011 LSU I believe. Spread teams are what beat Saban.
>>63947227
>When was was the was the last time Alabama lost a slugfest?
Last year's Sugar Bowl
>>63947035
That faggot King of the SEC will tell you no. But as a Georgia fan who doesn't root for other SEC teams, like the aforementioned faggot, he is an ok hire. Basically, if you're a shit to mediocre team then he'd be a good hire. If you want to just make it to a bowl and win a majority of those bowls then yes he is good. If you expect him to come in and win your team a championship, then your going to be disappointed. Personally, I thought he was good and I liked him as a person, I plan on rooting for whatever team he ends up at. UGA fans are babies.
How come we always bring up the ass beating OU gave to Bama, but no one ever mentions the skull fucking Clemson gave OU?
>>63947281
>42-35
>slugfest
And also, OSU is a spread team. We basically copied Oregon's meme offense but with better lineman.
>>63947323
>Russell Athletic Bowl
I actually had to look through Clemson's recent seasons because I didn't even know what game you were talking about. And who cares about an 8-4 OU vs. 9-3 Clemson? Alabama was 11-1 when OU blew them out (exposed them) so it's more relevant because it shows a quality Stoops team > a quality Saban team
Who else here booked their free 50X money multiplier when the tarheels win the ship?
Don't worry it's only dropped to 20X after last week but better act fast before they beat Clemson!
>>63940231
Dan Mullen is an offensive retard so shutting do Prescott means nothing. The only QB you've played all year that runs an even semi comparable offense to OU is Ole Miss and they trounced you.
>>63946896
OU didn't have Mayfield for the TCU game, nor Mixon and Perine for large parts of it.
Stidham is better than Russell.
OU outscored, outgained, and defensively played superior to Bama against Tennessee and we played them on the road. We owned you 2 years ago when our team and coaching staff were far worse and your team was far better.
This next one won't be played in the heart of SEC territory either like it was when we did this to you in the final year of the BCS after calling your shit conference overrated.
SEC has not won a NY6 bowl or better since OU played Bama and shattered the myth of SEC superiority.
>>63947323
>why does no one bring up the fact that an OU offense missing its only receiver starting a shit qb that was paralzyed literally a month prior to the game went against a defense that had the entire OU playbook because oh wait their defensive coordinator had been at OU for over a decade and they lost?
I hope we catch Clemson and complete the revenge tour. Clemson lost 8 starters from last years defense and our offense is bran spanking new

Damnit. Will we ever win a natty again?
UNC will not make the final four, in any situation
conference championship (in a weak conference) does not outweigh 2 FCS wins. the committee has already shown that teams like tOSU would be favored to move up over UNC
BREAKING: University of North Carolina issues alert for possible armed man on or near campus.
>>63947413
No they didn't. Oregon runs primarily the read option and tempo. In that game, they had Cardale at qb, so that limited the qb runs, making the run game smash mouth down the middle with Zeke. They also didn't start to run tempo consistently until this season.
What the fuck is this?
>>63949540
Damn you mobile version
>>63948232
>Mullen is an offensive retard
Thank you! As a clanga fan, it is frustrating that he calls the shittiest plays at all times. We've had the talent the last 2 years to beat every team we've played but Mullen goes into full safe retard mode when the game is big.
>>63940231
This is a pretty good post.

They could possibly make it if Alabama also loses & Iowa wins.
Clemson losing puts in Stanford. Bama losing leaves out the SEC.
Then the choice would be between:
1-loss non champ Ohio State
2-loss non champ Alabama
2-loss non champ Notre Dame
1-loss Champion UNC
If MSU wins, now you have another team in the mix, which is a 1 loss runner up Iowa (which may just take tOSU's spot).
Only one of those teams would have a conference title. Depending if they use the letter of the rules, you could not say any of those others are unequivocally better than UNC.
Reminder that bamatards actually think that these are their good wins because they were ranked *at the time of the game*:
>Wisconsin
>Georgia
>Texas A&M
>LSU (still ranked i guess)
> Mississippi State
>>63946624
Alabama won't lose
Clemson won't lose
B1G champ gets in regardless
so literally none of these discussion topics matter
go green
>>63949789
I was looking into it. Clemson and UNC basically have the same teams as last year and Clemson tore apart UNC's defense.
>>63949789
most likely
I think the big 10 champ will probably jump OU, sort of a perk for playing a conf championship.
>>63949821

I think Mackenzie Alexander will probably be a difference maker
Plus Clemson's d-line has been really disruptive all year
I know it looks like the defense has waded but I think that's mostly from the offense's tendency to put them in a bad spot
>>63949963
I know. But "currently ranked and actually relevant" teams were not prioritized by your typical Bama fan.
>>63949977
Cole Stoudt dissected Oklahoma's defense last year
I can't think that no matter how much they have improved Deshaun Watson won't do better

>>63949702
>southerners think that is cold
Pretty bored of the Playoff debate by now. Personally I think only conference champions should be considered (and independents with good resumes); there's no point in others playing. You can't be the best team in the nation if you aren't the best team in your conference. No second chances.
Anyways, What potential Bowl match ups are you guys most excited about? If things go as planned (1. clemp 2. bama 3/4. OU 3/4. Iowa/Mich st), I'm pretty pumped to see Stanford v. Iowa/Mich St./tOSU as well as Notre Dame Iowa/Mich. St./tOSU.
The Sugar Bowl, too, will be fun. I hope the meme 12 twelve can fuck over the SEC once again. It should be Baylor versus Ole Miss, and Ole Miss loves being the most inconsistent team in cfb.
>>63950021
The defense is far different with a better secondary and Mike Stoops in the press box. The offense is also completely different and it could have changed the game entirely if the offense could stay on the field (see OU v TCU. TCU basically got infinite downs because Trevor knight would go 3 and out every time, the defense suffered as a result). In any case, I think OU matches up better against MSU and bama better than against Clemson. It won't be an easy win for clemson, and OU will need to go all out.

>a conference champ can be a tiebreaker with comparable resumes
In what world does a 2 loss Stanford have a "comparable resume" to Ohio State? This shit is maddening. If OSU had 2 losses last year they wouldn't have a prayer of making the CFP, even if they won the championship, it would have been TCU.
How much does the PAC 12 pay the committee?
>>63951031
clearly any team that can be notre dame should get an automatic bid.

I know you're being sarcastic but

1. Clemson
2. Michigan State
3. Alabama
4. Oklahoma
Bama vs Oklahoma for the national title.
Protip: Bama and Oklahoma are the two best teams in the country and the playoffs will have worked.
Roll Tide. See you in January, Sooners.
>mfw in one week USC goes from unranked to Roseb Owl
>>63951031
Why should any team who can't even win their conference be given a shot? All this resume bullshit is retarded. You aren't the best team in the B1G, so you shouldn't be allowed to try your hand to be best in the nation. Didn't earn it. A 4-loss Conference champ has a better claim than you.
>>63951104
Because conferences are arbitrary, wins are not, retard. There is nothing saying that the conferences are of equal quality, they're not.
Isn't the PAC 12 an "academic" conference? Hopefully you understand the logic. You're just spouting memey platitudes with no substance. The committee has always maintained it is first and foremost about finding the best 4 teams in the FBS, not arbitrarily shoehorning as many conference champs in as possible, it's merely a tiebreaker.
>>63951133
Half academic - Stanford, Cal, UCLA, USC, and Washington are all powerhouses, Colorado and Oregon are good, but the rest are shit. Still better than the SEC and B12, though.
>>63951133
>The committee has always maintained
Yes. In it's long and historical run, the committee has showed a true dedication to finding the 4 best teams in the nation.
You're a faggot. Win your games. Win your conference. You're in. Stop crying. You lost late. You fucked up. Have fun playing Houston in the Fuck Nigga Bowl.
>>63951133
Finding the best team in the nation is dumb anyways. Bowl games are about seeing match ups between conferences; seeing a rematch is fucking stupid. That LSU bama game was a travesty.
Winning your conference is the cake, natty is just the icing. You can't call it a successful season if you can't even beat your rivals.

>>63951208
>implying UNC wouldn't get the #4 spot after going 12-1 and winning their conference
You're not getting in dude. You're going to play Houston. There's always next year.
What? Ohio state is not your rival. Fuck off you clingy child. We are only rivals with Michigan, and vice versa.
You shouldn't have beat Michigan. We destroyed Michigan. We played a historically bad game and poor playcalling allowed you to have a fluke win and beat us on a field goal.
Other examples of HOW FUCKING LUCKY sparty has been all year? Rutgers spiking on fourth? Almost losing to fucking purdue? Indiana keeping it close?
Ohio State is objectively a better team and you know it shitposters. Academically, we're superior too.
Have fun getting btfo by Iowa and tOSU sneaking into that fourth spot.
>>63951231
No, especially if it's a rough loss to UNC. BIG is clearly a much stronger conference than the ACC this year and everyone knows it.
>>63951284
If Iowa BsTFO of Sparty they'll be undefeated and get in. Face it, Brutus, y'all aren't getting in this year, it's confirmed that OU, The B1G winner, and ACC winner are locks, and Bama is all but confirmed. If for some reason Bama loses then whoever wins the Pac will get in over you.
>>63951273

>ACC

No, although I have very little faith in tOSU getting in it's just nice to hope for chaos.
>>63951267

Clemson would have two top ten wins and one more overall win and OSU only has 11 wins and one top 15 win

The only way Ohio State gets in is if Bama Clemson and Stanford lose.
Protip: It's not going to happen.
>>63951364
We need Mich State to beat Iowa and UNC or Florida to upset. It's a fucking pipedream but could happen. Lol Stanford has no hope even with Conf champ at 2 losses just stop kidding yourselves
>>63951406
Michigan is 19
>>63951169
>win your games
Exactly Stanford
What kind of shittu conference has a 2 loss "champ"
>losing to Northwestern
Lol if Stanford is let in they're getting slaughtered
>>63951442
Or better yet, hopefully no one drops out of the top 4 so that OSU can continue their annual tradition of exposing the fuck out of the Pac 12 by reaming Stanford
>>63951422
that's not true, look at CFB playoff rankings.
>>63951511
Also, the CFP reasoning for keeping MSU out of the top 4 was because their win against Michigan wasn't "real"
By that logic Michigan has one less loss
reminder that UNC is /cfb/'s champion
post yfw 10 to 4 happens
So is it safe to assume if both Alabama and Stanford lose their respective Championship games. There would be two B1G teams In the playoff. Because I don't see another possible outcome for that situation
>>63951485
>implying Ohio State will play in the rose bowl
I'm afraid i have some bad news. Iowa will be in the Rose Bowl after losing to Michigan state. Ohio State will get to play Houston in the Nobodys Gonna Watch Bowl

Clemson is a lock with a win against UNC
OU is already a lock
Alabama spills spaghetti and drops from the top 4
Stanford loses and is removed from Contention.
Iowa or MSU are a lock
This leaves one more spot and the next team in line is tOSU. The only other option is ND and I doubt they jump up 4 spots
>>63951601
Well, no he won't. But he will be playing worse teams than the crap ass lsu. The big twelve is a joke.
How much you wanna bet the same crew who said TCU was getting in over OSU last year are back again saying Stanford gets in over them in the event of an upset? Lmao no one wants to see your meme coast offense get BTFO by Bama
>>63946910
The cotton bowl will be in Dallas and Dallas is basically homefield for OU. It's only 3 hours south of Norman and theres more OU fans than there any Texas school fanbase.
>>63951511
Whatever it is, Clemson still has two better top 10 wins than a win over Michigan

OSU runs a spread option but most of what they run out of it is power, counter, and draw plays. They don't run any tempo at all and most of their plays are essentially gap blocks. There is nothing complicated about it
Alabama got beat because they played better players and better coaches
>>63950036
Tennessee only 60 yards of offense after the first quarter against Oklahoma and thats counting 2OT
>>63950187
He wanted to quit years ago but they convinced him to stay for muh clowney
>>63951737
Actually, bama deserves a shot because they're statistically the best team in the country right now.
aOSU fans:
>Our players are better than MSU's we just picked the wrong calls and that means our team is actually better despite losing the game because of poor coaching
Kek. If your players are elite and you lose because of inferior coaching then you are an inferior team, full stop.

SEC: Florida cuz the tears would sustain me.
ACC: Clemson. It's their time, they earned it, they're not losing. I like Clemson too so I'd rather see them get in and deserve it than fluke out a loss and have Stanford, tOSU, or UNC edge in.

This. Passionate fans unconditionally wish pain and suffering upon a rival that not only beat them, but eliminated them from a championship.
"Fans" (read: bandwagoners who sprout due to their local team's recent success) try to make the best out of a season-ending loss and rationalize supporting the other team by saying it's better to lose to the best team in the country than relish seeing them get creamed and denied glory because fuck you, if I can't have it you can't either.
There's respectful rivalries (Nebraska vs. OU, Army-Navy) where you can cheer for your rival depending on the circumstances, and then there's the bottomless chasm of loathing that exists between two academic institutuions, each one willing the other to a season of suffering and sorrow (tOSU vs. Michigan, Florida vs. Fla St., Bama vs. Auburn, Nebraska vs. niggerfuckingLonghorns [fuck Texas]) regardless of how far apart one team may be from the other.
>>63952864
Actually the sad situation is that the loser of the B1GCG will probably get jumped by tOSU for the rose bowl bid
>>63953075
"fan - an enthusiastic devotee (as of a sport or a performing art) usually as a spectator"

Hey.
Hey, you.
Did your new coach have a FUCKING losing all-time record at his previous school? DOES HE?
Why the FUCK is USC still ranked?
>Terps hire Durkin
Fuck. Hopefully Greg Mattison just gets promoted and goes back to being out DC.
>>63952896
What the fuck are you talking about it? It could potentially be a great hire, he's had ELITE defenses everywhere he's gone.
>>63953297
Name one coach who went directly from assistant to relevant in a big conference. The best guys had to do their time at tiny ass schools with nothing.
>>63953345
Uh, Nick fucking Saban? Les Miles, David Shaw, Mike Gundy. I believe Bill Snyder and Bob Stoops went directly from being an assistant to P5 HC as well. I'm sure there's some others.

>>63953978
ok I'll be serious for a moment. I was focusing on specific rivalries in college football. For example, I maintain that a passionate fan of Michigan football has a not-insignificant amount of disdain for Ohio State football, especially when it involves Michigan in some way.
I believe one should never root for a rival that one's team lost to in hopes that the rival's success will downplay the severity of that particular loss.

Its good they did it now. But I am still worried that he has been saying that he wasnt going to coach this year. I hope that was his bargaining tool
It seems pretty official that richt is coming to da U.

Confirming @PeterAriz report that Richt is taking the job. Final details being worked out. But he's coming to Miami.
>Mark Schlabach @Mark_Schlabach 43s44 seconds ago
I'm told his deal is very similar to the one he had at Georgia. Probably won't be announced until Thursday or Friday
Another day, another job opening that didn't hire Dan Mullen. Man wants out of Starkville so bad it hurts. He is begging anyone to hire him.
>Barry Jackson @flasportsbuzz 4s4 seconds ago
UM has begun telling high-level employees that Richt is taking the job. Other candidates not yet informed, but deal being finalized.
can you imagine kaaya with richt?
>Richt to Miami
fuck, just when I thought Tech wouldn't have to deal with that guy anymore, now he's in-division, with a better recruiting base and all his connections into Atlanta still intact.
>>63955489
We'll take him in Columbus as an OC.
>>63955216
Yeah I'd say this is a good hire if only for >>63955538 (that sweet Georgia recruiting). The main issue with him at Georgia is his inability to go from 9-10 wins a seasons to a natty contender.
At this point da U just needs a competent coach who can deliver that.
>>63955544
The problem is Mississippi State pays him a shitload. Other teams look at his track record and can't justify paying him 4 and a half mil. He probably would take a pay cut just to get out of there since the wheels are starting to fall off now.
He might end up an OC somewhere if he gets fired after next year. He does have a good offensive mind.
>>63955585
yeah I am really scared of that good seasons and winning nothing. In florida you need to win titles, not just be ok and winning bowl games.

FUCKING FINALLY THEY DECIDED TO PAY FOR A COACH. this is not the 90s anymore you need to pay some.

>>63955489
>Man wants out of Starkville so bad it hurts.
Can you blame him? Starkville is a shithole.
>>63955613
Yes
>>63955525
Odds on Richt starting Testaverde?
>>63955600
He's worked with Urban for every head coaching job Urban has had except Ohio State. I would live to see him turn JT into a hiesman winning qb be his senior year. Mullen is as good as devoloping a qb as much as Beck is as good at fucking one up.
>>63955585
He only needs to catch lightning in a bottle once, especially in the Coastal where his biggest challenges are GT, Beamer-less VT, and Duke/North Carolina.
He's just got to be decent in division and beat FSU and he's already further than he's got in the SEC.
It will be weird to think of a squeaky-clean guy like him at the U though.
>>63955618
I doubt Nebraska could have gotten him over Miami. I can't see any reason why anyone would go to Lincoln over South Beach.
Richt is a good pickup for Da U
>>63955618
What ties does rick have to Osborne? Osborne only coached at Nebraska, and Richt has only been to the U, FSU, EXU, and Georgia

what are you talking about? the early 90s were 2 decades ago. Al golden and randy shannon were hired because they were squeaky clean. they have been 0 problems with getting in trouble w/ the law
>>63955694
No disrespect, but I don't really pay attention to Miami. Wasn't the U having boosters pay for abortions and shit?
>>63955721
yeah they were hired because of squeaky cleanness. also shapiro was more with donna shalala and the ad
>>63954963
Saban was at Toledo for a whopping 1 (one) year and was a DC for 5 years after that, but before MSU. Also how do you not consider Ok-State to be in a "big conference" Big 12 memes aside. This was also when it actually was the Big TWELVE. Snyder was trash for his first few years because he was coaching at KANSAS FUCKING STATE, that would be like expecting someone to have immediate success at Kansas if they stepped in right now. It just wouldn't happen, even if they were Bear Bryant. Bob Stoops isn't the only example, because all of the others were perfectly fine examples.
>>63955206
>Dan Mullen
To be fair, we weren't relevant until he started winning 8 games a year here.
>>63955134
>he didnt see the qualifier that Sanford and bama also lost

Dan legitimately loves it here. His whole family has grown up here and he has taken the program to national relevance. Stay mad because you have coaches that don't enjoy their job.
