Alabama finishes 5th in the SEC, plays for national championship.

[trustandfall]

Seriously crazy series of events in my newest dynasty on NCAA 2014.

Playing as LSU with some new sliders and had my most fun season ever. I actually lost a couple games! I went 11-2, won the SEC title game over SC. They were ranked 4th, I was ranked 6th. Anyways, onto the craziness.

SEC conference standings after the SEC title game...

1) LSU 11-2, 7-2 in conference, 5-1 division
2) SC 11-2, 7-2 in conference, 5-1 division
3) Texas A&M 10-2, 6-2 in conference, 4-2 in division.
4) Georgia 10-2, 6-2 in conference, 5-1 in division.
5) Alabama 10-2, 6-2 in conference, 4-2 in division.


Lo and behold, national championship =
Ohio State 13-0 vs Alabama 10-2

Even a video game shows Alabama super bias!!!!

Re: Alabama finishes 5th in the SEC, plays for national championship.

Who won when you played Bama and what was the score?

Re: Alabama finishes 5th in the SEC, plays for national championship.

Bama 62-41. Highest scoring game of the season for me by far.

Only other game I lost was to Florida, 28-27.

Beat SC in the title game 42-38. Smash Notre Dame in my bowl game.

Alabama ended up losing the NC 35-28.

But... it was all for nothing. I redshirted Leonard Fournette and LSU's top freshman recruit QB (cant recall his name). At the end of the season, Fournette left pissed off about playing time and I couldn't get him to stay. ((

Got what you deserved in my opinion. Not sure I can envision a single scenario where it makes sense to redshirt a talent like Fournette. Even if I have depth at a position, I typically don't RS any of my 5* recruits or freshmen that come in rated 77 or higher. QB and OL are exceptions to that rule in certain circumstances.

Re: Alabama finishes 5th in the SEC, plays for national championship.

HAHA this is the most interesting BCS ranking craziness I've heard of from NCAA 14. So did Alabama beat Texas A&M, and did the other teams lose games late in the season? That is the only way I can see it making any kind of sense.

I actually don't think this is that weird. It is strange to see the 5th place team in any conference in the national championship, but this is obviously a bit different because it seems like all five of those teams are very tight and you yourself said Alabama beat you.

As for why they made it above the other teams, it probably just comes down to WHEN they lost their games. It seems like 2, 3, 4 probably lost games late in the season, while Alabama probably lost theirs early in the season.

Kind of strange, sure, but definitely not the weirdest thing.

It looks like Alabama could have been considered the #3 team in the conference as #3-5 have the same overall and conference records.

Dont kno why you redshirted him he's about to start this year lol

Re: Alabama finishes 5th in the SEC, plays for national championship.

Thats crazy! What sliders were you using?

[trustandfall]

Re: Alabama finishes 5th in the SEC, plays for national championship.

I redshirted Fournette and the incoming freshman QB simply so they'd have even higher stats... That's all. Wanted to redshirt them both, then go through (hopefully) 4 years of dominance with the two working as a tandem.

As for the sliders I use, they were seriously AWESOME.

I used the 25 thresh set, I used the autosubs mentioned at the bottom and I ABSOLUTELY made sure to follow the instructions for changing coach sliders to 50/50 on aggressiveness before every single game I played.

What the hell haha

Re: Alabama finishes 5th in the SEC, plays for national championship.

What were the national rankings?

It makes some sense, I have seen teams go 0-2 to start and finish strong and end up going to the NC.

What's really weird, and I haven't seen yet (close though) is a team lose their conference championship and go to the NC. Auburn almost did it recently when they lost in OT to Georgia (#1 vs #2, OT game, both were undefeated, Auburn lost in 2 OT). Tied in BCS with #2 Oklahoma (11-1). Oklahoma went thanks to the media poll..

Re: Alabama finishes 5th in the SEC, plays for national championship.

A similar thing happened to me in my dynasty. I was Kentucky and the only game I lost in the season was to Alabama. I can't remember who they lost to but Alabama ended up NOT in the SEC championship. I ended up winning the SEC Championship but Alabama ended up with the NC Title bid and Alabama won the title just to rub salt in the wound.
