Obviously if Bama was behind us going into CCG and lost they wouldn't vault them over ND, but if they're already ahead of us do they necessarily HAVE to drop below us?
Remember the BS they pulled with PSU and TX last year when they lost CCG...they dropped us a spot to make room for them both dropping a spot without falling below us
They just made it easier to do the same thing and possibly avoid the Mia out ND in drama...dirty work
