Does Auburn getting thumped by NMS put more pressure on Bama to put a beat down?

[GloryDawg]

If they barely win what message does that send the CFP committee?

Might be where you were going…is Bama guaranteed to make the CFP if they finish 12-1 and beat Georgia? Is there any scenario that the SEC would be completely left out?

Bama needs to be impressive the rest of the year. Period.

Just beating GA may not do it. You would think so but if Auburn makes it a game after the beat down, they just took who knows.

Bama wins out it won’t matter. They’ll be in.

 

[Doghaus]

Absolutely

I don’t think so. Bama’s path to the playoff is simple. Win SEC & hope FSU or Texas loses.

Edit: They do have to beat Auburn. Win SEC with 2 losses and they're out for sure.

The committee would never admit it but they would love to leave out an SEC team. Other than the south there is a lot of SEC fatigue.

There's a lot of a fatigue, but fair or not, the championship will almost have an asterisk by it if they leave out a 12-1 SEC champion. I'm sure the playoff committee is hoping for UW, Texas, or FSU to lose, because they are going to be in a no win situation if they have to choose between leaving the SEC out and putting the SEC in over a 12-1 UT that beat Bama on the road.
