[@keh8881]

Alabama did it to themselves, the Oklahoma game was disastrous, losing against Vanderbilt was tragic. But not playing to their full capability and not being properly prepared, one could say coaching or the lack of coaching is relevant. This team does not have the discipline it once had. And those losses are direct reflection of the lack of discipline today.

I think the biggest blow to this season occurred when Ryan Grubb jilted Bama for the Seahawks. I think if he could have worked with Milroe in the off season it could have made a big difference. Hopefully if Milroe sticks around for his senior year we can go find a coach who can develop Milroe the way Grubb developed Pennix Jr. If Milroe does go pro, I think we are stacked at QB and have some guys who can distribute the ball really well in addition to running the offense. The future is bright at Bama, regardless of what players bolt for a quick buck elsewhere!

The ACC fixed that Championship game. It was Dabbo’s shout out to the ESPN interviewer at the end of the game that makes me think that. “ That Team deserves to be in the Playoffs” After his team just quit playing defense in the 2nd half. It came down to the Clemson making a FG at the last second. But it was payback for Bama getting in over FSU last year.

Alabama's known to play easy cupcake teams out of conference quite often so if they had more of a challenge out of conference then there could be a better argument. But Alabama doesn't want that smoke

[@athhud]

How in the hell are they suppose to predict who the out-of-conference cupcake teams will be years in advance? Even with just a year in advance UA could have scheduled FSU, Michigan, and Washington and this year that would be a “cupcake schedule”. The other conferences suck! They are ALL cupcakes! UA has played Oregon, Notre Dame, FSU, and Clemson fairly often considering how many other teams are out there. Typically (based on recent history) those would most likely be the toughest out-of-conference teams, but it turns out that they suck it up year after year. They are “good” when they don’t play any decent SEC teams and suck when they do. I’m sure that’s just a coincidence though. . . Which is all the more reason that the ACC having 2 teams in the “top 12” is absolutely bananas. Their Champion isn’t even in the top 17! How are you suppose to weed out the cupcakes?!?! Scheduling “tough” out-of-conference games is a crapshoot for any SEC team. If you are counting on that to get you into the playoffs, you are done before you even started. Not like it would matter anyway. Even if UA would have beat Oregon AND UGA this season, that would just mean Oregon would no longer be in the top 10 and Alabama would still have a win over a #1 or #2 UGA. SMU and Clemson still wouldn’t have a win over anyone that matters, but Clemson would still get the auto-bid and SMU would still get picked over a 3 loss UA because it is VERY APPARENT that strength of schedule does NOT matter. That is the only thing that we will learn from this CFP.

[@dannyadams7486]

It’s coaching, plain and simple, do you think these same 18 year olds would get pampered in basic training? No! The new coach got the same players Saban recruited, Saban won with these players, the new coach trying to be their friend could not! Somebody has to call a player out for loafing around!

[@Daniel12.4Ministry]

If strength of schedule is the highest value, then schools from weaker conferences will never have a chance to make the playoff.

Alabama could have made it into the playoff, if they would have won when they had to - but they did not.

[@leeedwards8323]

We can blame Milroe until we are black and blue in the face. The fact of the matter is that this coaching staff did not get the job done. Play calling on both sides of the ball was straight garbage.

Silly question "why did Clemson come in in behind SMU when Clemson beat SMU?" ( in a lucky last second field goal of over 50 yards). A similar question - if GA Tech had beaten Georgia like they almost did, would GA Tech be better than Georgia, should that have gotten them into the playoff ahead of Georgia? Look at SMU and Clemson's rankings before that. 8 point differential. Clemson wasn't a playoff team if they didn't win the championship. SMU was already at large. A lucky field goal doesn't change that.

[@shortalpha2734]

Maybe the SEC can bring SMU and Clemson into the dysfunctional family. Look, Vandy is barely bowling and the Sooners are playing with tumbleweed. Bama just needs to get back to playing bruiserball and drop maybe just one during the regular season. As far as scheduling, ask Boise State to visit. Or Bama can go there.

Two of them against the bottom two teams in the SEC. Bad losses made it worse.

[@sarahmccoy1941]

As tough as the SEC is, there is little reason to play strong non-conference opponents when schools from weak conferences like the Big 12 and the ACC play weeny non-conference schedules.

[@DymaxionDon]

The committee must be called out for creating a DEI playoff instead of the best 12.

[@ClassicalLiberalWarrior]

I'm a die-hard Tide fan for half a century but...Alabama did NOT try in the Oklahoma game. There's no excuse for that. Getting left out of the play-offs is harsh but just punishment.

[@MichaelP-ub5oo]

They played Western Kentucky and Mercer 🤣

[@brandonwhite7306]

Money is the core principle in the College Football Playoff Committee!!!!

[@billeffingmurray1224]

I don't really like the scheduling weaker non-conference games as a result of this year's outcome because we didn't lose any non-conference games this season...we just lost conference games...but i do get that overall it reduces the chances of more losses and it's nearly impossible to go through the SEC undefeated. So in that regard, for future scenarios...bring on the cupcakes, as the committee will reward you for it.

Need a new offensive coordinator and a new defensive coordinator

[@CharlesBaker-w6o]

You're doing a fantastic job! A bit off-topic, but I wanted to ask: My OKX wallet holds some USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). How should I go about transferring them to Binance?

[@BalerionFyre]

“I guess you can say the same thing about South Carolina and Ole Miss” but you’re not because you believe the CFP is the Alabama invitational

[@bobfanning6816]

Already, I miss the good'ol college football days. I stopped watching pro football when some players refused to stand for the national anthem. I suppose I will be able to stop watching new semi-pro teams that were once college teams.

[@BenjySparky]

Geogia and Texas in the championship game watch! Roll Tide Roll 🐘 💯

[@ShawnNichols79]

I thought Kolby Prentice was transferring?

[@BamaFootball]

He is

[@BamaFootball]

Three WRs so far

[@paulpearson5283]

Alabama showed their strength when they lost to 2 unranked teams

[@DivineRoyalty88]

Alabama has been a QB Away from the Natty for the past 2 years.

[@MyVisualRomance]

Outside of Hurts, who really didn’t even stay and finish at Bama, your QB’s have been absolute trash at the NFL level.

[@superman26755]

One I disagree with you on Kyle. SMU’s best win was their 3 point loss to Clemson.

[@greysongladney4403]

It's almost as if the sec realized that pooling all the talent into one or two conferences was actually a bad idea

[@truthandwisdom]

Odum "handlers" should have encouraged him to red shirt to learn the Bama WR role vs TE. He would have been a better asset to the team or even in the portal if he still decided to jump ship.

[@belowaveragegamer8270]

I also gotta mention that maybe these WR leaving bc they don’t fit into the type of offense DeBoer wants to run. We all know that he hasn’t shown his true offense bc milroe didn’t get it and they had to change it up and build it around Milroes strengths but I’m sure he’ll go pro so hopefully next year we have someone that can really run the style offense doboer wants to run. Plus we all need to remember that this was year one and DeBoer has to get the type players in there he wants not the ones that saban wanted but what fits his style then when that happens I think the tide will be back rolling on all eight cylinders

[@rogerledlow4970]

It depends on the year whether it suits them or not to use SOS. This year, it didn’t. So you have Indiana, SMU, Boise State. As long as they keep giving automatic bids, teams will get in that don’t deserve it because they won a conference championship game. It is what it is. We all knew that a 12 team playoff would get just a much griping as a 4 team playoff.

[@showtale8325]

Nobody will remember who made the field in 12 team playoff a year from now...only the winner. Getting in a playoff isn't much more valuable than a good bowl if you are going out in first round. There hasn't been even 4 worthy teams in the past. So we suddenly have 12 Worthy teams ...no ...once you get past a few teams ...none are serious contenders to actually win the playoffs

[@aerofool66]

It doesn’t matter what your schedule looks like when you have two losses against two unranked teams.

[@thumbsaloft]

A team that DIDN'T PLAY ONE RANKED TEAM let me repeat that DIDN'T PLAY ONE RANKED TEAM gets in?! As for the bowl game, I couldn't care less.

[@TL-qr3ii]

They didn't have two losses against terrible teams, and one being blown out by a terrible team. Bad losses reveal as much as good wins. SMU didn't have a bad loss.

[@lawrenceandrews4367]

What about Army ​@TL-qr3ii

[@CBGRTR]

​@@TL-qr3iiyall got congratulated for losing conference champ game SMU is not better than alabama neither is Clemson either though and you say you didn't have a bad loss? look at who you lost to did lose to byu? and went to OT against DUKE ?? and a 3 loss Clemson? Get real

[@dhomie1822]

I agree I feel we blowed it against vandy and Oklahoma but SMU has no legit wins I don’t think they should get in over some other teams

[@garyroenicke2102]

Bama, Don’t Schedule any tough Non Conference Games. Not with this Committee didn't give

[@thomaswestrup2886]

Why would strength of schedule even be an issue this year? It's not as though we lost to strong teams - we lost to garbage teams. Trainers and players need to take care of business, and not worry about how strong of team they're facing.
