And no matter how much Miami complains, they're fucked. Just as they should be.

I just hope one more year of underformance from the SEC in the playoff starts to put some cracks in the narrative about how incredible their conference is. OU, OM and Bama are all middling teams this year - certainly not elite. And hopefully people start to understand this isn't the SEC of even...

Right - Bama's high odds stem from them having arguably a 50/50 shot of 100% making it in with a win over UGA, somewhat of a chance of jumping us this week and being safe from a BYU jump, and THEN the small chance neither of those happen AND BYU wins (also very unlikely) which would keep them...

PSU Head Coach Brian Kelly still on the table. They can finally have the original Big Game James

Admittedly I don't do sports betting so I'm not particularly knowledgeable on this, but I guess just after seeing the way our odds moved from one or two outcomes not going our way, I don't put much stock in that. What will those odds be if Bama loses to UGA?

I feel like them poaching Knowles from OSU gave them all an overinflated sense of PSU cachet, and this comedown has been hilarious

FanDuel knows as much as we do and is based upon where they think the public will lay their money - and with how Bama historically has played against UGA, I can understand people betting big on Bama getting the SEC auto bid.

LOL ok so you're just preparing for the worst - I can respect it. I just don't see how anything that happened this past weekend would compel the committee to do that

But what is the justification for that, other than doomerism? Their performance against Auburn proved they're playoff worthy? They're already on the bubble if they don't win the SEC, why should that game move them up?

This whole thing is just so stupid - we need to get to a place where these huge conferences are two divisions, and the first round of the playoffs is the conference championship game. Win and you're in, lose and you're out - you couldn't beat a playoff caliber team at a neutral site, why should...

That doesn't make any sense though, that would have Alabama move UP the rankings with a loss. The committee would NEVER do that. As long as we're slotted above Alabama still this week, the only concern with them is if they win the SEC.

So if they lose their game, WE are more likely to get left out? I understand they have a route to an auto-bid, but when talking about the bubble that assumes they lose. There's no way we're more on the bubble than them, unless the committee uses their slog of a win against a bad Auburn team as...

We gotta get back to .500 against the huskies

I'll add one more - scheduling @Miami immediately followed by A&M at home was pretty stupid, but I do know these things get put together years in advance and dates are limited. We should have won at least one of those, so the blame still falls on the team - but maybe let's throw a get-right game...

This is what has annoys me about the arguments coming out of those fanbases. I'll be disappointed if we get left out, but every team in that 8th-12th ranked grouping have pretty good arguments for getting in (Texas can get lost). If we get left out, the first place I'll lay blame is on our team...

The longhorns are delusional and entitled enough to think they could pull that off, tbh

Get him and Rudy89 in a room together and see what happens. Black hole might rip open just to put them out of their misery

It's crazy because all that had to happen was either chalk - Bama beating OU and eliminating them - or after that, one singular upset of OU, Bama, TTU, Oregon or Ole Miss in the last 2 weeks. The fact that it's all gone perfectly to provide a pathway for us to be left out is really insane.

If we want auto-bids, these huge conferences need to split into divisions again where they play everyone in their division to make the conference championship game. This current model is ridiculous, with the unbalanced schedules. And maybe shuffle up the divisions every few years based teams'...

The odds really just reflect that Bama has a guaranteed pathway via the CCG, PLUS are still relatively unlikely to get bumped out with a loss in that game - because their biggest threat (BYU) isn't likely to win their CCG. At least, that's how I'd interpret that
