Yes - please enjoy the tears of our rivals to the south. They are sweet and they will sustain us for days to come. 
 

With that said, Bama beat 6-5 Auburn in a wild battle of - - checks notes - - 4OTs. So where do they put our precious this Tuesday?

Doesn't really matter as long as Georgia clobbers Bama and Michigan takes care of Iowa next week. That puts us in the 2 or 3 slot against probably Cinci?

Not sure I agree that we'd be #1 if Alabama beats Georgia and wins the SEC next week (AND WE BEAT IOWA)

If we can jump from #5 to let's say #2 or 3 after beating #2 OSU this week, then Bama will easily jump to #1 after beating the former #1 team.

Bama

Mich

Georgia

Ok State/Oklahoma/Cincy

That's how I see it if both Michigan and Bama win next week. It would be worst case scenario.

This was an impressive win. And if we weren’t totally screwed in East Lansing earlier this year we’d be undefeated. I have to think this team is ranked #2 after that dominant win. 

 NC is wide open this year. If they take care or business against Iowa, I think this team can beat anyone including Georgia and Bama. Take care of Iowa first though.

1. Georgia

2. Michigan

Michigan's signature win is Ohio State, Alabama's signature win is Ole Miss (advantage M)

Michigan's loss is against Michigan State, Alabama's loss is against Texas A&M (advantage M)

Michigan's win against a fringe top-25 team is Wisconsin, Alabama's win against a fringe top-25 teams is Arkansas (advantage M, I think)

I don't see any other games that would put Alabama ahead of Michigan.

I swear, if Alabama goes up to #2 after that shit show against a 6-5 Auburn team WITHOUT their starting QB, I am gonna piss on some committee member's leg.  Michigan is the clear #2 team in the country.

We do want Georgia to beat Alabama next week though.  Because I suspect that they will avoid the immediate rematch so Georgia would be the #3 seed if they lost.  And I would like another team to have a shot at taking out Georgia first.
