This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

If they lose a heartbreaker to UGA, then I could see it. by rockmcd
I know conference titles are part of the stated criteria, but it's not supposed to be a guarantee. The best path for Alabama would be:
Cincy loses to somebody
Utah wins the Pac 12
Wake Forest loses to somebody
The winner of the Big 12 has 2 losses
Ohio St wins at least one of its next 2 games (ensuring that UM and MSU don't both end up with 1 loss)
If the Bama vs UGA game looks like a heavyweight fight between the clear two best teams, then I'd expect the final ranking to be:
(1) Georgia 12-1
(2) Big 10 winner 12-1 or 11-2
(3) Bama 11-2
(4) Notre Dame 11-1. Hold me.
(5) Big 12 winner 11-2
