Message: [QUOTE="orange79, post: 5594292, member: 159"] This is the best summary i have seen of Miami vs. Alabama with Miami bumping Bama (from the Athletic newsletter): [LIST] [*]Both teams have 10 wins, but [B]Alabama has an infinitely worse loss than either of Miami’s. [/B]The Hurricanes lost two close games to eight-win SMU and Louisville. Bama has losses to Playoff teams Georgia and Oklahoma, but also got run out of the building in Week 1 against a Florida State team that finished 5-7. The committee says common opponent results matter among closely ranked teams. Do you know who [I]beat [/I]the Noles in Tallahassee rather than losing to them by two touchdowns? Miami. [*][B]Yes, you can penalize teams for lopsided conference championship losses. [/B]Bama coach Kalen DeBoer doesn’t think Saturday’s loss should apply to Bama’s resume “at all.” But BYU, which started the day ranked No. 11, will likely fall after [URL='https://links.e1.nytimes.com/a/click?_t=1d75fd3a730a463c8648bd84293b832a&_m=19adc4acc0bc4f64a018fb489d790b94&_e=8bRf5Sr5eScgprhPkImbTXPa7DnQ44RJr4zUMVXYghJz2s9_h65cBm9gSNpRyRshiBLbQipQqjCq-97JnxVlckUWflgkWRf6pya6G-gilrecQY_qIoBc4wAZMo9l6KRjiox7JZ6SkNHhwe6e41lZjnRO9Fk0lkV3lu_-ITRD3X0gFwR3thjzJ4xLYN3BsQdIqTnPZAyHLjmE2lyQfg8JE4v7j87PAnI1Ayn3-Os1fMOqPNGgWXQPxfd99-sp8-MCCcg3evPF6Zpg5i18FAOGUw3W6C-iwl1KvM9zuzex6TxAUexKqY90XCrJq3AEavhhBPU_Ck4wSM-cwlJOLsqOHs69a3EB5_2-fspgmWt6w4r5q8OF_qqC0WDQL55MeIJI7rSz9FdZF851dzK67bx2w8vuwcNKVsuw8rKyUQ22ADifzCcVvOjJIkgWhfRQFX1bwsTuBpC630zYRmb_lI2Wf2poP28FPBRwlkwvbg27JJ5OU-5McsXYVQqQYvt8awBxx1xNP5CvVLDi1FUZxC0tn_Wm7xIYyhyhf2QHZfSVZe8_QJiRV8-kP9OHpdtFPGhsvEZvdRejC5BdCtRyaXbr8CXAeE5k2GoUm295HjrI0H4%3D']getting drummed for a second time[/URL] by No. 4 Texas Tech. A few blowout title-game losers fell on Selection Sunday earlier in the Playoff era, too, albeit from outside the top four. Can’t an SEC team [I]also[/I] be penalized for a sufficiently ugly title game? [*][B]Bama’s best win isn’t much better than Miami’s best win. [/B]Not in totality, anyway. The Tide’s three-point win over Georgia back in Week 5 was tremendous, but it was only a bit better than Miami’s win over No. 10 Notre Dame by the same margin in Week 1. Unlike Bama, Miami didn’t then lose badly to the victim of its own best W. [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
