    So you think both Texas and Alabama (if they lose to Georgia) are out? Maybe if you use an even bigger font that will be true. 

    I think Alabama might be out if they lose. I don't understand why so many people think it's a guarantee. They're likely going to be 10th in the CFP rankings and a loss could easily drop them a couple spots which would be big trouble for their playoff chances.

    I guess you can argue that Mavs ownership had to approve the Doncic trade, so it was a collective fuck-up. Harrison probably didn't have carte blanche.

    Mavs ownership is just trying to re-enact the plot of Major League

    missouri beat Kansas 42-31.  Mizz didn't suck but they couldn't beat the top end of the SEC(hung with Bama for 4 quarters).  they beat every team they were supposed to beat and lost to every team they were supposed to lose to(all Top 15 teams).

    in other words, they had the typical Missouri season.

    Yeah I just mean Kansas kinda gave that game away. They had it in the bag and just fell apart in the 4th quarter. Mistake after mistake after mistake after not really making any in the previous 3 quarters. Was bizarre.

    This is some really stupid shit slorch. Are you trying to argue that a couple years ago SEC schedulers deliberately designed a schedule with the foreknowledge that 3 teams ranked in the 2025 top 15 preseason would completely fall out by the end of the year and four teams ranked 18 or below would finish with 2 or fewer losses and move up? 
     

     

    It's pure genius, really. Gotta hand it to em

    When the sec goes to 9 conference games, those extra 8 losses won’t be able to all land on the shitty teams.  Unless the sec gets more shitty teams and looks like the b10. Add in another legislated p4 ooc game on top of that (they can’t all schedule Purdue and Maryland) and there will be more 3 loss sec teams and fewer 2 loss teams in the real near future.  So this will be a moot point as soon as next season.

    The loss to Florida is only mitigated by better play. The loss to tosu could have been mitigated by better play or by sxheduling Ohio u instead of Ohio state. 
     

    either one going from loss to win puts us comfortably in the tournament. 

    This is just another case for expanding the playoff.

  6. If we keep having seasons like this, better OOC matchups will come. It makes perfect sense not to schedule us up to this point. Texas I can understand, A&M doesn't schedule us because they're afraid of being run through on national TV like we did in most of our big 12 matchups.

    It's all kind of part of building up the program.

    As optimistic as I want to be, FanDual has us at +2500 to get in the playoffs. Don't think it's happening.

    But it means there's still an outside chance. You need the committee to first jump you over Vandy and Miami (admittedly hard because they both dominated their last regular season games against ranked opponents on the road, but your win was better on paper so there is room to make that case) and then root for Georgia to blow out Alabama and Tech to beat BYU. That's the only path I see. Stanford making ND sweat would have been a small insurance policy as well but alas...

    There is no way they'd punish a team for making and losing the SEC CG regardless of the margin. Ole Miss and Aggy are in with one conference loss. Bama would be in if they lost the tiebreaker and were resting this weekend. Leaving them out would set an even worse precedent than the UT losing to No. 1 tOSU situation. Maybe if CCG's were officially going to end soon but they are still trying to make those games meaningful and sure af can't let someone be negatively affected especially a blueblood like Bama.

    I can't agree. If they lose like 35-7 to Georgia I think the committee absolutely considers dropping them and they'd be right to do so. I'm not saying they'd ultimately do it but they'd have to consider it considering Bama's very obvious deficiencies.

    Is this one of those things that someone claims and then others just repeat it? Referee Ken Williamson got "permanently suspended" by the SEC after the Georgia-Auburn game. His crew did not officiate the OU-Auburn game, Jeff Heaser's crew did and they continued to officiate games after OU-Auburn. 

    That play also didn't turn the game, it was the game's first touchdown. Nowhere near a guarantee that Auburn wins that game if the TD is overturned.

    There is a top tier of college football. The Big 12 and ACC are not in it.

    You're right. And most SEC/B1G teams aren't it either. Do you have any other takes I could get from ChatGPT?

    It's going to wind up being an SEC and Big Ten tournament if better teams than most of the field keep getting left out.

    It's like we traveled back in time to last year and found ourselves on a Bama board

    Hate to keep repeating myself, but again, the playoff just needs to be expanded to where it should be and this isn't even a conversation. 16 teams and nobody but Colin Cowherd complains about a team getting left out. 24 teams with 8 byes or whatever is even better. Tell Notre Dame to go fuck itself until it joins a conference, and tell the G5 to have its own playoff. Problem solved in perpetuity.

    Oregon at least did with Tech, so I'll give UO credit for stepping up to the plate when most in their conference and SEC won't.

    And they still honored it even when the game in Eugene had to be cancelled. That's how you conduct yourself, not the way the SEC does things.

    The SEC and Big Ten do not need the Big 12 or ACC.

    The Big 12 and the ACC need the SEC and Big Ten.

    It's hilarious to watch people just become the biggest koolaid drinkers. Or in DD's case, a koolaid drinking robot.
