The fact you have to bring up the last decade further proves my point.

I've had a heaping plate many times. The day I'm afraid of a little crow sammich is the day I'm no longer a fan.

It doesn't really matter at this point. There is one teams in the BIG 10 with legitimate playoff hopes, one in the BIG 12, nonE in the PAC 12 and two in the ACC. You started the whole thread saying the games at the end of the season matter the most. There are three top five caliber teams, according to the rankingS and not your opinion, in the SEC. Auburn is one of them. If they beat the other two as #1 and another at # say 4 or 5, they will have been 3 top ten, likely 5 teams in the last four weeks. It doesn't matter what vanderbilt is ranked.

Only 1 since the 2012 season though.....So no, that's no longer a valid argument. Who cares what the past holds, we're discussing this year's playoffs.
And we'll see about the 8 of 11. I don't see any team in the top 4 that can't compete against Bama.

Well, since you brought up the big10. What if 2 loss tOSU wins the big10 CG with 2 losses. Why shouldn't they be in. Their 2 losses are comparable to auburn and sos is about the same. And I was referring to teams like Alabama scheduling fcs opponents at the end of the year

Ikr. GA scheduled their cupcakes early and they play 2 power 5 non conference games. BOTH are away games. I'd still have GA ranked ahead of Bama for that reason alone

If they play OSU that would just be another cupcake, walk in the park game.
Have you seen them play this year? When they win they win biggly. The Iowa game is going to sting for awhile.

If the CFP wouldn't give them an automatic free pass on the top 10 opening rankings every year it would help.

Not necessarily.
Wisconsin beats Ohio State, they're in as an undefeated team. Winner of Miami/Clemson is in. SEC Champion is in. Oklahoma wins the Big 12 Championship, they're in. An undefeated Miami and Wisconsin are not getting left out, so that really only leaves one spot...and I really don't see a 1-loss Oklahoma getting snubbed (if they win the Big 12).
Alabama, especially if its not a close loss to Auburn, could very easily drop out of the CFP Top 4. Now, if its a really close game with Auburn, then who knows...but I wouldn't like my chances if the other teams win out.

Because in the history of college football there have only been like three teams that have beaten 3 top ten teams in the same year. If Auburn does it(likely all top 5), they go, period. Their two losses were for a combined 12 points. The loss to Clemson was the first game with a new quarterback, and in the LSU loss they had two OL out and the starting linebacker was hurt. Like it or not the committee considers that stuff, consider the Clemson loss with the QB out. OSU got there eyes beat out twice by a combined 36 points, in large part because your QB is great one week and looks like he has never thrown a pass the next.

Ok. They've won 6 or 7 in a row and are ranked 22. A quality team. They're 8 and 3 likely to win 9 games. And go to a pretty good bowl game. How many sec teams are going to have 9 wins?
