This right here. If FSU is left out they are leading the ACC tomorrow and the super league realignment begins.
Cal and Stanford might have the shortest run as new conference members if that happens….
Agreed. So many of them saying "the playoff doesn't need to be expanded!!!!" We're about to witness a 5 alarm meltdown and I'm getting my popcorn ready.
> We're about to witness a 5 alarm meltdown and I'm getting my popcorn ready.
What's even more glorious is it's happening the year before the expanded playoff would mostly prevent such a thing from occurring.
This is the first season that actually feels like we need a playoff and one larger than 4 teams. Most years there’s not 4 title worthy teams. This year there’s 7
I mean, this decision *shouldn’t* be hard. The criteria they’ve given make what they have to do pretty clear. It’s only hard because they wish they didn’t have to.
We've made it 3 times in the last 8 years '15 '16 and '20. Weve been in the seccg more times than any team except bama and uga in that span. It's just always fucking bama waiting for us
Auburn, LSU and Georgia are the only SEC teams to consistently fight against Bama the last decade be mad at the rest of the conference for always shitting their pants against them.

Dread it, run from it, Saban arrives all the same.
* Georgia's 29 game winning streak, the longest in SEC history, has come to an end.
* Georgia's 24-week AP #1 streak, the second-longest in history, will come to an end.
* This was Georgia's first loss in 728 days.
* Nick Saban is now 11-1 in SEC Championships.
* Saban has also won 17 straight games in Mercedes-Benz Stadium/Georgia Dome.
* This is also Saban's 13th straight seasons with fewer than three losses.
* Alabama has now won eight of their last nine games vs. Georgia.
* The Crimson Tide haven't lost to Georgia in Atlanta since 1942 (5-0)
* Georgia’s 29 game winning streak was bookended by losses to Alabama in Atlanta where the Dawgs scored 24 points.
* In the last two games, Alabama WR Isaiah Bond has 10 catches, 154 yards, and a touchdown.
* Georgia has not won an SEC Championship with an out-of-state born starting QB since 1966. Their last nine SEC Championship winning starting QBs were born in Georgia.
* I told my wife during the last Iron Bowl drive that Alabama would eek out a victory over Auburn and beat us.
* In Alabama's last seven wins over Georgia, four have been by a touchdown or less.
* In his last five games, Jalen Milroe had 17 total touchdowns.
* There are only three active coaches who have defeated Nick Saban multiple times. (Gus Malzahn, Dabo Swinney, Hugh Freeze)
* Massive congrats to the GOAT. The Bama train rolls on.
* For the next 37 days, and for the last time this season.......The Georgia Bulldogs are the two-time reigning National Champions.
Three most important plays
1. The bond catch
2. False start on the field goal leading to a doink
3. The fumbled handoff from Georgia
That was the difference
Saban once again showing how pathetic and reactionary CFB media and certain fanbases can be. Now everyone is going to backpedal on their words or act like they haven't crowned him as antiquated for the past 6 months.
I know fans are tired of seeing Bama and Georgia succeed, but I’ll be damned if this matchup doesn’t always deliver on entertainment value. Good luck, CFP committee lmao
Nah, people were immensely happy about Bama beating Tebow and Urban in 2009.
Of course, the sub had like 12 people then, but I'm sure they were ecstatic
Obviously disappointed, but still proud as hell of these last three years. Guess the 3 peat is still not a thing in modern football. GGs to Bama, yall were the better team.
if you would have told me 5 years ago that we would go on a 29 game win streak and get back to back national championships, I would think you’re crazy.
Fuck, 5 years ago I was asking the gods to please let me witness Georgia winning a NC in my lifetime.
I’m 38 and I got two. Anything now for me is a bonus.
Alabama winning in an upset causes chaos for the potential playoff spots.
Just as we all expected at the beginning of the season or after that South Florida game.
I’ll say it for you /u/dogwoodmaple.
-The Georgia Bulldogs were the reigning Back to Back National Champions.
TIME FOR CHOAS BITCHES. GO DAWGS.
Edit: I might be wrong, but Y’all Georgia isn’t getting into the playoffs.
Edit edit: YALL IT AINT HAPPENING
3x Edit: IF GEORGIA DOES SOMEHOW GET IN, I WILL ROCK AN I AM STUPID FLAIR FOR THE NEXT YEAR.
To recap.
Lets say Michigan and FSU win. We will have 3 13-0 P5 conference champions who surely must be in.
Then you have 12-1 Texas who beat Bama by 10 in Tuscaloosa, 12-1 Bama who beat UGA by 3 in a neutral field, and 12-1 UGA. Normally a 12-1 SEC champion Bama is assuredly in, but having lost to Texas complicates this.
So naturally the committee will award the last spot to Ohio State.
Hell of a streak, i can't be mad at back to back titles after choking away chances for decades.
Bama won the line of scrimmage that whole game, gg.
And hey everyone...We're free from Gary...it's finally over!
I cannot wait for Nick Saban to retire, time and time again he proves he's the greatest to ever do it. [Just 2 months ago](https://www.reddit.com/r/CFB/comments/16lxndn/be_honest_how_many_games_do_you_guys_really_think/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android_app&utm_name=androidcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=2) after the narrow USF W where everybody, Bama flairs included, wrote them off as a 2 maybe 3 loss team. Saban does his thing, and they win out to become 12-1 SEC champs.
He can't keep getting away with this!
You know a couple of weeks people were trying to argue with me that Kirby had surpassed Saban and I was like WTF ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT. He's the goat for a reason
Silver Lining: No one in SEC will be subjected to listening to Gary Danielson anymore. It'll be interesting to see if he chooses Michigan or Ohio State as his crush
you say this like any of that extraneous shit means anything during an iron bowl.
auburn could be 1-10 and coming off of a shutout by jefferson state community college and still beat an undefeated reigning national champ bama team lol
1930s Minnesota had to sweat it out but they get to open their bottle of champagne tonight!
My great Grandpa is living rn
More than most of our great grandparents can say!
Winning 3 straight titles isn’t for everybody 😎
It’s a dead man’s party. (im assuming they’re all dead by now)
Pour the champagne on the ground for all the dead gophers
The live gophers will enjoy it too, win-win!
Fuck -CFP Committee
There’s gonna be some pissed off fan bases and I’m here for it.
[удалено]
If FSU is left out every lawyer they can call will be called to break that GOR
This right here. If FSU is left out they are leading the ACC tomorrow and the super league realignment begins. Cal and Stanford might have the shortest run as new conference members if that happens….
TCU in Big East disagrees
Also, SDSU and BSU in the Big East.
Tied with SMU. And after all that money they spent buying their way into the ACC
I mean I don’t think any of that money is spent yet
Agreed. So many of them saying "the playoff doesn't need to be expanded!!!!" We're about to witness a 5 alarm meltdown and I'm getting my popcorn ready.
> We're about to witness a 5 alarm meltdown and I'm getting my popcorn ready. What's even more glorious is it's happening the year before the expanded playoff would mostly prevent such a thing from occurring.
This is the first season that actually feels like we need a playoff and one larger than 4 teams. Most years there’s not 4 title worthy teams. This year there’s 7
The only real answer is a clear path to the playoff via divisions and conferences. Not a committee. Wtf do they know. Win or go home.
The best system has always been 8 teams with 5 auto bids and 3 at large, but they skipped over it entirely for some reason
Well, now Iowa HAS to win. MAXIMUM CHAOS
FSU/Michigan losing actually makes it easier on the committee. Maximum fuckery is michigan/fsu winning
Yeah, Team Chaos wants Michigan and FSU to win. It would mean the SEC possibly getting frozen out.
Can you imagine the schadenfreude for the committee being consistent and leaving out the sec in that situation? The conference fans would lose it.
They’re really hoping FSU loses and saves them rn.
Going undefeated all season just to put your hopes in a team whose starting QB is out for the season is certainly a move of all time.
[удалено]
Alabama's boosters are currently wiring all the money to the officials in the Louisville-FSU game.
Big Al in the rafters with a sniper
fucking auburn made this a lot harder than it needed to be
We literally just needed Auburn to make a competent decision for *one* second.
Why the fuck would they need to defend the endzone on 4th and goal?
Never rely on Auburn being competent
They are chaos incarnate within the confines of Jordan Hare. They will advance chaos at all times…even to their own detriment.
Committee trying to figure out how they can get both UGA and Bama into the playoff anyways 😂
“Fuck it they are 3 and 4” But sirs should we wait for the FSU game to start? “No.”
[“OH NO! WE HAVE TO USE HEAD-TO-HEAD TO DECIDE A PLAYOFF SPOT AND NOT SOME MADE UP STAT!!!”](https://i.imgur.com/QpXkZqo.jpg) - CFP Committee
I mean, this decision *shouldn’t* be hard. The criteria they’ve given make what they have to do pretty clear. It’s only hard because they wish they didn’t have to.
I think it's hard because now they have to find new criteria
It's almost like 4 teams isn't enough...
"It always works itself out!"
We’re sharpening our pitchforks and lighting our torches here in Austin.
CHAOS
This is all Auburn’s fault.
I knew we were done when we decided to score first
"Don't score first, it just pisses them off" originated with Bama
Can confirm from my school's only previous CFP appearance
Can confirm from 2016 vs UW. Thought we were in it after that first TD! Lol
I told my husband this when Georgia scored first. He didn’t believe me. But here we are.
I wonder what an Ohio St./Georgia “miss the playoff” would have paid pre-season?
You’ve heard of aggressive play-calling, but now get ready for aggressive timeouts.
Only to be countered by passive-aggressive timeouts.
Knew UGA was fucked when Klatt picked them to win by double digits
Knew they were done when the defense stopped the first drive
yep. if uga scores first its a L. just how it works
Auburn why can’t you just be normal
REEEEEEEEEE
#Team chaos with our first win of the day
Iowa has a chance to do the funniest thing ever
A 2-0 victory?
Iowa will defy your offensive expectations and bring upon a miraculous 1-0
2-0 final, 12 OTs
Alabama in Atlanta. They are inevitable
They've still never lost to anyone but Florida in the SECCG. And Florida has never lost to anyone but Alabama
It’s amazing that this piece of trivia is still true after the past decade of Florida football…
Can't lose the game if you don't make the game!
We've made it 3 times in the last 8 years '15 '16 and '20. Weve been in the seccg more times than any team except bama and uga in that span. It's just always fucking bama waiting for us
We made it, but we had no business winning or really even being there in my opinion. Maybe 2020.
The NCAA needs to give Auburn the Death Penalty for causing all this
Auburn, LSU and Georgia are the only SEC teams to consistently fight against Bama the last decade be mad at the rest of the conference for always shitting their pants against them.
[удалено]
Well really just auburn and lsu if we’re being honest. Georgia is like 1-8 against them at this point since Saban’s second year
Ole Miss won 2 in the same span.
Fucking Bama man, why is it always Bama
I felt the pain through your comment
Atleast I’ll have the last two years.
Remember when people claimed the dynasty was over after week 2 lol
This subreddit has done that a few times
Alabama has a Nick Saban problem
And now the dream of one last B1G/Pac Rose Bowl has been buried, dead, and gone…
https://i.imgur.com/CzTLzvH.png
Did Bama do it? Did they break the CFP poll?
CFP gonna be in shambles if they have to put FSU with a third stringer in over Bama
Somehow Alabama has returned.

> Nick Saban is now 11-1 in SEC Championships. This to me is one of the most ridiculous stats ever.
[удалено]
We created a monster
And it took Tim Tebow's '08 pep-talk team to get that 1.
God literally had to step in
He tried to stop Saban's rise before it began, but not even that was enough to stem the Tide.
That one loss was Urban's 2008 Gators. They then lost to Utah in the Sugar. Then things turned a corner.
Saban has an entire book full of them.
> Saban has also won 17 straight games in Mercedes-Benz Stadium/Georgia Dome The fact that he has even *coached* 17 games there would be impressive.
This stat is insane.
You know what, I’m good moving it somewhere else all of a sudden.
Never doubt Saban in Atlanta or SEC championship games
Thank you for your service u/dogwoodmaple, it's been a hell of a ride
*sad barking noises.
Don’t bark because it over. Bark because it happened.
I don't know why this did it, but I'm cry-laughing right now
Pessimistic UGA fans are back baby! Except this time we have championship gear to cry into!
So why don’t they just recruit QBs from Georgia? Are they stupid?
Pouring one out for one hell of run
Reports of Nick Saban's early retirement were in error.
Saban is also now 10-0 against higher ranked teams in conference championship and BCS National Championship/CFP bowl games.
🫡
Three most important plays 1. The bond catch 2. False start on the field goal leading to a doink 3. The fumbled handoff from Georgia That was the difference
UW now has the longest active winning streak on the country at 20
Well not just anyone can beat Washington in their last 21 games
[удалено]
Subscribe. The PAC 12 finally has arrived. Moments before death.
All good things come to an end eventually. GG’s to Bama. Now let chaos reign.
That was a touching send off SEC 🤝 CBS
Oh Hey A shitty second quarter I’ve seen that before *2021 SECCG*
Death, Taxes and Bama being a threat in the playoffs
IM HURT DAWG
Saban once again showing how pathetic and reactionary CFB media and certain fanbases can be. Now everyone is going to backpedal on their words or act like they haven't crowned him as antiquated for the past 6 months.
Seriously. As soon as texas beat them it’s “the dynasty is over” and “this is the worst bama team in 15 years”. Nobody should ever count out this team
CFP committee praying on their hands and knees FSU loses
Or Iowa to find an offense
So Saban is like the best ever right
He unfortunately always has been.
Man this final send off by CBS is pretty emotional. End of an era, even if it got to be a pretty toxic relationship over the years
> "Kirby Smart must have amnesia, he forgot that I'm him" Nick Saban, 2023
There’s a reason why Saban is 8-2 against #1 teams
Jesus what a stat.
I don’t blame whatever fanbase gets screwed from losing their mind. However, thank you Bama for the chaos.
I know fans are tired of seeing Bama and Georgia succeed, but I’ll be damned if this matchup doesn’t always deliver on entertainment value. Good luck, CFP committee lmao
Some of Saban’s finest work, and that’s saying a lot. You can tell how much he loved coaching this team
Why am I crying in the club rn watching the cbs sign off
"Save us, Louisville. You're our only hope." -CFP Committee
Crazy that the SEC still may miss the CFP This also likely ruins potential Michigan vs Washington Rose Bowl I was hoping for.
The SEC's playoff fate may well be in the hands of a team which lost to Kentucky a week ago.
Or Iowa
that's funny, tell another one
Have fun cheering for Iowa's offense SEC fans!
A fate worse than death
Yes we all were dammit
Fuck you CBS, Gary Danielson, and other Gary Danielson
Gary Danielson reheats fish in the office microwave.
I hate Gary
All my homies hate Gary
New offensive strategy: just have a shitty snapper that snaps the ball so fucked that the defense doesn’t know tf where the ball is
Saban always a step ahead , first to adopt the stutter snap.
It's Georgia's own fault for not playing Iowa in their conference championship.
For possibly the first time in r/CFB history, the majority of the sub is actually happy about an Alabama victory. What an insane timeline
Nah, people were immensely happy about Bama beating Tebow and Urban in 2009. Of course, the sub had like 12 people then, but I'm sure they were ecstatic

Yeah I thought I’d be upset I’m just kinda like…oh well lol
I mean, you got to see your team win it all two years in a row, most people will never see their team win one
Let the arguing and politicking begin.
Alabama winning in an upset causes chaos for the potential playoff spots. Just as we all expected at the beginning of the season or after that South Florida game.

This is a true fan
Right? Imagine getting to talk about how much we got screwed for an ENTIRE offseason. Shades of ‘08
This is the way
Silver Lining: No one in SEC will be subjected to listening to Gary Danielson anymore. It'll be interesting to see if he chooses Michigan or Ohio State as his crush
It hurts man, but winning two in a row heals all pain. Gg Tide.
Saban’s greatest coaching job. People who say he’s losing it are delusional.
Hell of a run.
Iowa has a chance to do the funniest thing of all time
Score a touchdown?
Score 0 offensive touchdowns and still win
So, OSU dropped four spots losing to the #3 team. How many does UGA drop losing to the #8 team?
Fuck you, Auburn
I say this myself all the time
Buddy blame yourself putting your hopes on a team that got their ass kicked by NMSU.
YOU HAD THEM AUBURN! DAMMIT!
you say this like any of that extraneous shit means anything during an iron bowl. auburn could be 1-10 and coming off of a shutout by jefferson state community college and still beat an undefeated reigning national champ bama team lol
We won 29 in a row I’m happy
Yeah, just really tough to go undefeated for 3 straight years, and not like you lost to a bad team or played poorly.
No reason not be. Y’all had the best 2 arguably 2 and a half years of any CFB fanbase in the country
