No, you can schedule better opponents.

Kind of hard when your conference rules force you to play a round-robin schedule every year.

[TheCultOfPersonality]

Alabama @ Mississippi State is on both ESPN and the SEC Network.

Why?!

This is stupid.

[TheCultOfPersonality]

Tua injured and just been carted off. Don't know why he was needed when the team was up 35-7.

That's like showing it on ESPN and ESPN2.

Heisman stat padding?

Bama was going for style points

[Millennial_Messiah]

:bang Fucking Bears choked away their season. How do you lose at home with a 21 point second half lead?

[Millennial_Messiah]

Well at least Bama isn't winning this year and I'm happy for that.

[Millennial_Messiah]

they really needed that break on the really bad snap but Jalen Hurts even with his black brain made the smart decision within the rules under the heat of the moment.

[Millennial_Messiah]

Fuck Methlahoma, tbh.

No Texas teams in the Playoffs AGAIN. Another boring year for the NCAAF. Boring decade, tbh.

[FrostKing]

What major change occurred this decade? The playoff. It backfired. Essentially made the regular season meaningless. There use to be a sense of accomplishment when you won the New Years bowls and I think that was also eliminated with the creation of the playoff.

How many undefeated seasons for Bama and yet Dynasty. That is fishy. But that falls under the SEC bias which seemed to start in the mid-late 2000's when 1-lose Florida steamrolled tOSU. Tebow was never part of an undefeated team and yet has 2 rings. That is fishy.

But I also think the Pac10s collapse and other historic powers such as Miami, Nebraska or even Tennessee being shit has taken shine off. Michigan, Texas and USC stuck in mediocrity. Clemson and Georgia broke out. And I guess ND played in a BCS title game and a playoff. I didn't mention FSU because they played in a playoff within the past 5 years but their collapse has made the ACC a 1-team Conference. Same you could say with Big10 and Big12 the past 5 years. That is probably the main reason for the lackluster product.

[Pelicans78]

To be fair. Florida State’s first championship was a one loss team who got in over Notre Dame despite losing to Notre Dame that season. Pretty fishy. The same thing happened in 2000 when FSU got to the championship game over Miami despite losing to Miami that season who also had one loss. Fishy.

[Millennial_Messiah]

ND not being in a conference is fishy.

That is certaintly fair. It did occur. I will compare BCS and CFB Playoff



BCS had 16 champions
1 or more loses: 6 times (All SEC)
~ 37%

CFB Playoff has had 5 champions
1 or more losses: 4 times
~ 80%


Undefeated season is part of the glamore of CFB. And that seems to also have been negatively effected. IMO the move backfired and at this point they might as well move to 6 or even 8 playoff teams

[Blake]

Ultimately worthless sense of accomplishment. The only people that remember new year's day victories are the fans of those schools. Playing for a title is all that's ever mattered.

[Blake]

It's not fishy. Just outright greedy

[Millennial_Messiah]

fuck christianity, tbh

ND / BYU

agreed. the BCS bowls were pretty much the equivalent of loser's brackets, or the NIT in basketball.

[Millennial_Messiah]

undefeated is pretty lame imo. I prefer the story of coming back off a tough loss

[Blake]

fuck christianity, tbh

ND / BYU

Especially Baylor

[Millennial_Messiah]

Go Ohio State tbh.

[MultiTroll]

With replay. :spin
SoonerRef awarding 1st down to seal the deal. Fishy.

Bama still alive! Yess.

[Millennial_Messiah]

Bama? I would hope the committee would factor in the Tua injury and putting the best/most competitive 4 teams in the playoffs.

[IronMexican]

Duck the injury.it's such a cop out that that's why they won't be put in the playoff. This team deserves to not be in for that schedule. Its.so ducking shit. Unjustifiable. SEC need to schedule one less pic game.and one more in conference. If they dont,no way should they always have two teams inn the playoff.

[spankadelphia]

Faggies about to learn what “ass to mouth” really means in Tiger stadium.

[Millennial_Messiah]

Oregon is out.

Bama doesn't deserve shit. They're not one of the best 4, really 8 teams in the country without Tu'a.

[Millennial_Messiah]

In fact I wouldn't be surprised if Auburn wins this weekend, with no Tu'a to take the top off that Auburn defense.

[Millennial_Messiah]

tOSU, LSU, OU, who else am I missing? Buehler?

[Millennial_Messiah]

Oh, Clemson.

[Greg Oden]

Ole Piss with the bads, per the par

[Pelicans78]

In fact I wouldn't be surprised if Auburn wins this weekend, with no Tu'a to take the top off that Auburn defense.

I agree and I think OU loses at Bedlam too.

[Millennial_Messiah]

I agree and I think OU loses at Bedlam too.

Bedlam? You mean OU losing to little brother? don't think so.

[FrostKing]

Clemson vs LSU should be a great one

[Millennial_Messiah]

Clemson vs LSU should be a great one

In the finale? Clemson undefeated will definitely get the #2 or #3 over a 1-loss #4

Semi-Final

You think LSU finishes #1after SEC win? - likely

[Millennial_Messiah]

Semi-Final

You think LSU finishes #1after SEC win? - likely

If LSU is #1, no way they meet in the semi final, because an undefeated Clemson will be ahead of the 4th seed which will be a one loss team.

Yes, I was assuming Buckeyes are #1 in final rankings

[Millennial_Messiah]

Yes, I was assuming Buckeyes are #1 in final rankings

if the SEC gets two in though, pretty sure the undefeated one gets #1.

[FrostKing]

if the SEC gets two in though, pretty sure the undefeated one gets #1.
Yes. It will be

#1 SEC undefeated
#2 BIG10 undefeated
#3 ACC undefeated

Clemson will have a gnarly path to the title. Would be better matchup wise if the 2 Southern schools with poclet passers squared off first and then winner played tOSU

[Pelicans78]

Bedlam? You mean OU losing to little brother? don't think so.

OU has barely beaten far worse teams the last few weeks. They’re due for an upset.

[TheCultOfPersonality]

Illinois getting dominated at home by a 2-9 Northwestern team starting a 4th string QB and using a safety as a RB. Wisconsin lost to this team.

[spankadelphia]

Media will try to keep OSU ahead of us, but that will be hard considering we have a top 5 matchup in the SEC title game that is basically a playoff game inof itself. Alas, they will try to ship us out west to play Clemson.

[TheCultOfPersonality]

I'm guessing these SEC refs had money on Auburn.

[TheCultOfPersonality]

Two pick 6 thrown by Mac Jones and this one went for a 100 yard TD for Auburn. WOW.

[Clipper Nation]

Why does Auburn keep pooch-kicking it? One return TD doesn't negate how stupid it is to keep gifting Alabama great field position.

[TheCultOfPersonality]

Auburn has had no answer for Jaylen Waddle in this game as a returner and a receiver.

[Clipper Nation]

:lol Shocking that Bama missed a clutch FG.

[Clipper Nation]

Saban trying really hard to pretend he's not happy that Gus' job is saved for another ten years.

[Pelicans78]

LSU is already in regardless of next week. Same as OSU. Next week is about seeding. Plus the Texas win doesn’t help LSU at all. That team was a fake top ten program.

[FrostKing]

2 main questions remain

A) IF Georgia defeats LSU do they jump to #3 and drop LSU to #4?

B) OU or Utah if Georgia loses

[MultiTroll]

^ It's not a given OU beats Baylor.
Took them a last second suck out after a Baylor 2nd half collapse a week ago.

Scores might matter if both OU and Utah win.
Opponents Baylor and Oregon are ranked relatively closely.

OU probably gets in due to the Good Ole Boy b.s. that is the NCAA.

[rjv]

....and i really can't see UG beating LSU. the dawgs have a solid defense but their O is too inconsistent.

[MultiTroll]

No tears being shed for Bama by most.

However, technically was that a b.s. illegal play by refs? Saban correctly says Auburn punter was subbed in for play. Therefore opponent is supposed to get X amount of time to counter sub?

[MultiTroll]

Wth was that call? SoonerRef?

23-20 Baylor pinned deep had just completed a 15 yard pass.

[MultiTroll]

3rd and 3 and Baylor goes for the rollout pass which is completely covered. Don't like the call. Had just had a nice run for 7. Go for it on 4th down if neccessary. This is gonna be like a month ago i fear. 23-23 about 3 minutes left.

[Clipper Nation]

Playing for OT at the end seemed really stupid on Baylor's part. You have the less talented team, play to win.

[TheCultOfPersonality]

An absolute dumb facemask grab by Baylor. Granted I think a facemask penalty is one of the dumbest and most pointless penalty to get and its really stupid in this overtime. LEARN TO TACKLE!!

[FkLA]

Happy for him. I'm gonna miss the Lane Train in CUSA. :cry

Smh people rooting for Baylor now.

I don't like the Sooners but fuck Baylor. They should have been put on the smu death penalty.

[Millennial_Messiah]

Columbus with the comeback goods tbh.

[MultiTroll]

Boring.

Well at least Wisc made it interesting in the 1st half.

Columbus is gonna win it all again.

They just might but weakest of the 3 QB's

[Millennial_Messiah]

They just might but weakest of the 3 QB's
Trevor Lawrence is a better NFL QB than college tbh

Jake Coker of all people led the Crimson Tide to championships and he never made the NFL

Tebow was a college superstar

Etc

[MultiTroll]

Ohio ST over soft schedule Clemson. LSU over OU.

[Millennial_Messiah]

Ohio ST over soft schedule Clemson. LSU over OU.

Clemson has a generational QB, but QB matters far less in the system-based NCAAF than the NFL.

Meh Tua in his 1st two years was looking better then Longhair. It can and does change. That greasy win vs North Carolina.

I hope Ohio State drubs them.
