Even though Alabama has only 1 loss and beat the #1 GA, he does not believe the quality of opponent Alabama lost to in TX is good enough for Alabama to go to CFP. BUT, SMU’s “high” quality of opponents that they lose SHOULD count to help SMU go to the NY6 bowl.
Great point. I feel like the announcer is pandering to his audience. If he was doing LU’s game, he’d be all-in on the Flames! :lol:

Again, the committee thinks exactly what the announcer is saying. It's a business and they select what is best for that business. I hope I am wrong, however Liberty is not a favorite, especially being in CUSA. Kudos to LU for going 13-0! Hopefully they do not go to the Cure Bowl again.

If they were discussing FSU and their chances because of losing Travis then what’s the difference with them losing their star QB? Like I said earlier their best wins are against Tulane and Memphis. Beat a bunch of losing teams and lost their P5 games.

If the committee really paid attention, they should’ve seen what NMSU did to Auburn (should’ve beaten Bama) and we beat them twice.

The announcer just said what I posted earlier about "SMU beating a top 25 Tulane means they should get in" they wrongly rank Tulane above us then give SMU props for beating a "ranked" team. It's total BS. Undefeated against 6 bowl eligible teams is a better resume than SMU hands down.

I firmly believe that the committee covered themselves by not jumping SMU to the 25 slot last week. The whole point is that this is suppose to a g5 slot. SMU is going P4 next year to the ACC conference. It would be a slap in the face to all g5 teams/conferences to jump a next year P4 team SMU over an undefeated g5 conference champion.

There's probably actually a decent argument for that, IMO.

Georgia would not be up for the game, players skipping bowl to prepare for draft. We beat Bowling Green, who beat Georgia Tech. GT gave Georgia a close game.

They were AAC Announcers. They are obviously going to be biased towards the AAC. Plus neither said they even saw LU play. The ABC/ESPN announcers were fawning over LU.

Every announcers in their respective conferences has to sell their teams to move up the ladder because they can work the games their teams will be playing. Then they get paid more money for working those games. Lol

They have not been overly impressed with LU in many of their posts, and they have no real argument other than constantly shouting SOS while shouting down everything that would justify it.

If we get a NY6 Bowl, which we should...

Liberty Nation BETTER show up. If we don't fill that stadium - we will never get another big time bowl.

I know this will be difficult, but we have 135K current students and NOW a very large alumni base - it wouldn't be impossible to get 30,000 fans at a game, but we need to show this country we are the next Notre Dame and make the big conferences see what's happening up here.
