I agree. It was sloppy and the deep throws didn't help our case. If those 8-9 missed deep throws were 4-5 yard RB carries, we might have looked more dominate. Just controlling the clock and the field. The defense looked real good.
There is no mystery who JT Barrett is at this point, the Penn game was an outlier. I think that is the biggest part that hurts us the most. A very good team with a limited QB. I think if Haskins has the exact same game, we have more of a case to be in.

Booger is an SEC nutrider and Rece tries to hide it...but he's a Bama grad. ESPN is shamelessly pushing their narrative here.
Guys, ESPN has a MASSIVE SEC contract, including ownership of the SEC Network.
While the SEC also has a nice deal with CBS, ESPN and the SEC are continually finding ways to bring more SEC content to their network.
The opposite is true of the Big 10 who is continually trying to move content to Fox, including OSU/Michigan this year.
Ultimately, with ESPN having playoff rights, I can see a back channel push for the SEC. it just makes business sense for them. If it was OSU against an SEC fan base that didn't carry the eyeballs of OSU, it'd prob be bad business. But Bama will bring similar ratings.....and it protects ESPN's investment....

Except The SEC Champ is already in. How is the committee going to justify leaving out the conference champ of the best conference in America?

Honestly, UCF should be 4th.

Ehh not exactly. If Miami beat Pitt, then lost to Clemson by 12 (like Bama lost to Auburn by 12), Miami would have a notably stronger argument than Bama. Although, Notre Dame did lose again...big time, against Stanford. Which is something I had mentioned during our debate...how Notre Dame finishes the year had a big impact on Miami's resume. But, Miami's loss would have been in the conference title game to the #1 team. Bama lost to a team by 12 who in turn went and lost by 21 for their 3rd overall loss.

Haha. Maybe. But for the sake of my sanity, I'll stick to tangible things.
