Getting destroyed by the eventual national champion on the road versus getting dogwalked by a shitty PSU team are two totally different scenarios. 

PSU lost by 7 to that eventual NC and 8 to Oregon in the B10 championship.

Have not read thread closely. Assuming OSU and UGA win this week, 2 of our 3 losses will likely have been to the eventual 1 and 2 overall seeds. If this were March Madness, with our wins, we would not even be a bubble team. And yes, I mean for a 12-team field.

Yeah, it's that pesky third loss to 4-8 Florida that's the problem; and, then you dig into the less than pretty wins against UK and MSU for the game control/beauty pageant part of things. Thinking back to those threads and the arguments now about deserving a playoff spot is interesting.

Let's not try and defend PSU as anything but a playoff paper tiger. Last year was OSU and Texas and then everyone else (UGA was up there until Beck got injured).

So the top 4 get a double bye? 

I guess I had a brain fart.  Make it 24 teams.  Top 8 teams deserve a bye, I believe.   Say good bye to almost all bowls.

Here's the thing...

Tech would love to schedule these teams in OOC, but they can't get any buyers (I would bet BYU and others would say the same thing).  So if BIG and SEC refuse to schedule the other P2 schools, then how can they then say the other P2 schools should be excluded because they "don't play anybody"?  If BIG & SEC are so confident that they are so much superior top to bottom than Big12 and ACC, why won't they schedule them with reciprocal home games?  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.

What really pisses me off is the 8 game conference schedule in the SEC to boot.  Yes, I now that changes next year (thankfully), but this year SEC teams played 8 conference games to everyone else playing 9.  So it's a damn racket.  (1) Criticize B12 and ACC for not having as strong a schedule, but (2) won't schedule B12 and ACC, (3) only playing 8 conference games to everyone else playing 9, and then (4) demand more teams in the CFP because SEC is obviously superior to everyone else.

Forgive me if I refuse to concede that SEC is just that much better of a conference.  It's more of a self-fulfilling prophesy conference.

What sort of gibberish is this? The SEC won’t schedule the Big XII or ACC? Off the top of my head SEC teams have played the following teams this year OOC:

Baylor, ASU, Clemson, Miami, Georgia Tech, Virginia Tech, FSU, Syracuse, Kansas, Louisville. 
 

That’s in addition to multiple B1G and ND OOC games. And the Big XII and ACC got their cheeks clapped on the whole. 
 

What SEC games has Tech reached out to try and schedule?

Hell of a thing to dismiss a team that played OSU closer than Texas did in the NC game as no one.

I don’t count coach podium chatter as an actual attempt to schedule. In any event, LSU currently has Utah and ASU on future schedules. “Won’t schedule Big XII” is a laughable point. 2026 currently has WVa, ASU, Utah, Kansas, Baylor on the SEC OOC slate.

Agreed.

But the SEC SEC SEC folks seem to think that the CFP is supposed to be an SEC Invitational Tournament.

I really hope they go 0-fer in the playoffs...and I really, really hope it's Tech that sends aTm packing.

You don’t play anyone. You shouldn’t even be in the CFP regardless.

When has Joey McGuire ever been full of shit? Except all those other times.

When I look at last week's CFP rankings, I see us at #16 and a 3-2 record against teams in the top 14.  This doesn't include whatever jump we "should" make for beating #3.

It's very hard to wrap my head around the idea that we aren't worthy of a playoff bid.  We played a very tough schedule with great results against the top teams in college football, so what?

I have to believe that getting left out represents a shift on the committee's behalf from "tough losses don't matter" to "all losses matter".

It's not laughable.  I know for a fact Tech has tried to schedule upper end SEC teams and they won't take the call.

So until I see A&M, UT, Alabama, Georgia, LSU, etc. on Tech's future OOC schedule, I'll continue to make my case.  UT and A&M will not even pick up the phone, which is fine.  But then don't turn around and tell us we don't play anybody when you are unwilling to play us.  You can't have it both ways.
