Herbstreet said so much so yesterday. My response to Hebie is to not show up then.
FCS and down to D3 has a selection committee that ranks teams by regions and then releases the results weekly by press release. It works for them.
FCS starts their playoffs a week after the regular season is over for all of them. I think the top eight seeds are given a bye and then it’s off to the races. They are done by the first week of January. Let the bowls as we know them collapse. Give some of those cites the rights to be regional sites come the third rounds and roil with it.
Norte Dame did Texas and any other school that wants to cancel their upcoming series a favor though. And we should follow up and do it this week and then proceed.to schedule Purdue, Rutgers, or Northwestern in their place. Since it would fill the void for the P4 requirement and give us a win the committee can’t hold for or against us. That’s if the future committee is as incompetent and corrupt as fuck as this one. All of this since the new football power Indiana is playing the likes of Indiana St and Kennasaw state those years.
IF you have kids they will want to go to that giant rip off known as Disney World. Holy Cow the tickets are crazy high since the last time I went 15 years ago with my now adult kids. And I was bitching about the price then.
This needs to be our mojo. End the remaining hours of 2025 with a humiliation of the Big 10’s third best team, hit the portal 48 hours later on Jan 2 and start filling the voids, have an gut grinding Spring , and commit to kicking everyone’s ass in 2026 starting with making Ohio State a statement win in Austin is September
Fuck the playoff Committee
Fuck ESPN
Fuck’em all should be our motto.
They excuse it for being the first game. For which we lost to Florida only four weeks later. I guess the first part of the season where you are forgiven is only qualified for the first three or four weeks? I mean the committee is somewhat doing to same for Norte Dame.
If this committee was fair, someone would ask why they should promote Bama over anyone since FSU did indeed lose to the same Florida team that is being used to keep us out. Why hasn’t that question been asked by the media or is it by design or order. Yes I got my tin foil hat on.
Hopefully CDC address this big time. This season the Vandy game should’ve been played after the OU game because the RR game has always been treated as a road game for us not withstanding we are the “home” team every other year. It’s still a road trip from Austin which is similar to some of the road trips SEC teams make to play conference games such as going from Austin to Collie Station for example
CDC needs to make the case that we either play a conference home game before Red River or after. Then if it proceeds with two straight road games, so be it. As long as we get two straight SEC home games somewhere in the schedule like we did to end the season.
It’s like BYU doesn’t even exist anymore. I’m hardly a defender of BYU and we can talk about who is about to get screwed over for which we are included in that category. But unlike Norte Dame they played a conference schedule and whether they played shitty teams or not on that conference schedule is irrelevant because Norte Dame gets to pick it’s shitty schedule year in year out and it’s a guess whether their opponents for the most part are going to show up. And this on top of the losing the CCG means more to Bama and them getting to stay in vs BYU losing theirs and the double standard is starring the media right in the face and they don’t acknowledge it.
If I were CDC or someone in our media sphere who could get out in front of the media , I’d be pointing out one our chief rivals with a fan base that hates us worse than maybe OU and aggy is chairing this committee. CDC might not be that guy because of his position and future leverage he needs. But we definitely need a “a good cop, bad cop” situation as part of our media play here. Even if it’s after the fact now.
And next year we need to put the Arkansas AD on our video board after we pound Arkansas next year similar to what we did to Elko last week and the Rig 12 Commish last year after we beat Tech. I’m sure there is some video content somewhere we can dig up.
It’s the typical sport media bias that drifts Norte Dame’s direction every fricken year whether it was BCS slot on the line or now a playoff spot. It’s all about the number of L’s and nothing else. I mean, ever since the playoff or even the BCS, last year was the best performance Norte Dame has exhibited in all this going back to the 80’s when the media ultimately picked the NC. They’ve been pumped and pumped and then get humiliated. It’s a good thing back in 2005, Reggie Bush tush pushed Leinart in their game against Norte Dame because we would’ve exposed those frauds at the Rose Bowl back then.
I honestly didn’t understand how Bama got in over aggy in the CCG with both having one conference loss. If anything if you looked at the wins, aggy beat LSU and Auburn worse than Bama did. They should’ve flipped a coin to decide who went to the CCG.
The upside with next year is the schedule is in our favor ironically. Now I hate this BS that goes around now about who in the SEC plays a strong or weak schedule because ultimately in conference you can’t control if your opponents suck or not. But next year based on who is replacing coaches we SHOULD be in very good position to be playing in the SEC championship and hopefully that will be UGA. That being said while you can’t ignore the 12 games ahead of that potential match up, the focus should start tomorrow with Sark and the boys to make it the goal to play Kirby and his boys in Atlanta next December and absolutely destroy them. If it’s not UGA, then it’s whomever shows up. The message needs to be se sent that the bend over taking it from the committee and their media lapdogs will not happen again if we have anything to to do with it.
Does Sark have it in him? I guess we will find out starting with what moves he makes in the portal in a few weeks.
