Does Tennessee mind taking him back?

So 'Bama's offense is doing a piss poor job? Last time I checked, the offense is doing a pretty good job. Big reason 'Bama is 7-1.

Actually, no.

Alabama's not winning games, it that the team they're playing finds ways to lose. Hell, Alabama would probably have at least 4 losses if 3 of those teams had capitalized on Alabama's mistakes.

So, in other words, it's like 2007 all over again. Except Alabama hasn't lost to a shitty non-conference team yet.

A lot of teams actually run the ball on 3rd & long, especially when they're backed up on their own goal line. It's worked for many teams this year surprisingly.

First CFP rankings are out.

I guess I'll settle for the Cotton Bowl.

If FSU and TCU are both 12-0 at the end of the regular season, I will bet my bottom dollar there will be two SEC West teams, FSU, and TCU in the playoff.

Meanwhile, can we fucking get rid of Muschamp already? The season's over, Foley. Just pull the trigger and put Old Yeller out of his misery. Jesus.

Well, considering that TCU has a loss, I'm guessing your scenario won't happen.

I suggest you take your own advice and let the truth of Alabama yet to play Miss State and Auburn sink in. If they beat both of those teams, they almost certainly make it in.

Yes and Alabama has a chance to beat them too. Not saying they will, but it will be a good game.

No matter how small a chance, Alabama has a chance. Bulldogs should roll nonetheless.

I have devised a theory in college football that states: If an underdog team gets a big lead over a Top 5 team, they will always lose the lead. I call it "The Alabama Theory".

EDIT: Test #1 has proven my theory true.

EDIT #2: Welp, I'm done watching this sport. Tired of seeing all these teams choke games away like it's nothing. Now makes me wish I'd never been born in the USA.

Oregon wearing their stupid black jerseys against Stanford...not a good sign. Oregon always loses big games when wearing the black.

Abolish overtime. :p

Auburn will probably win anyway. Then turn around and lose to Georgia. So, either way, they probably won't make it to the playoffs.

Well, I thought Auburn was going to win. :/

Unluckiest shit ever for Ole miss. Lose one of your best receivers and also fumble the game away.

Now they know how Alabama felt.

So that leaves the SEC West wide open.

So... the Vols FINALLY WON. Two in a row over Spurrier. 8)

At 4-5, a bowl is certainly attainable now. Never have I been more relieved since the Dark Era started. There is hope after all.

Tennessee didn't win the game. South Carolina just found ways to lose. :p

Now they'll go and lose to Kentucky AND Missouri.

Not so fast, my friend. I fully expect at least one two-loss SEC West team in the playoff.

Also, holy shit, Muschamp's Strong Power offense actually worked? Fuck me running.

I don't expect this to last. But I'll ride the wave for as long as it goes. Also…

To hell with Georgia!
