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.

Most or all of these assume Bama makes the Playoff. by rockmcd
If the Big 12 champ makes the Playoff, then Bama goes to the Sugar Bowl, in which case the Orange Bowl might take Ole Miss to face the ACC champ in the Peach Bowl, leaving ND to face the 3rd place Big 10 team or Baylor in the Fiesta Bowl.
With Bama, I suspect they'll get leapfrogged by Ohio State on Tuesday, and will remain #3 behind the winner of the OSU-UM showdown. It's hard to see them moving down only one spot from #3 to #4 if they have a decisive loss to Georgia and either OU or OSU have back to back wins over top 10ish teams.
[Edit: Ignore the reference to the Orange Bowl in the first paragraph. I meant to refer to the Peach Bowl, and it was an atrociously written sentence regardless.]
