SI.com article

He is discussing how it's genius for the SEC to sit and watch the rest of CFB implode. Calling out our playing of cupcakes late in the season. It just reads like the SEC is undeserving. He is just starting shite for no reason.

And again, another national media member dismisses the difficulty of the SEC schedule and only thinks of OOC games.
In regards to Bama, he's correct. But, he wouldn't be saying this if Auburn was a top 10 team. You can't blame Bama for that or for Michigan sucking. And, you wouldn't say that about LSU the previous 2 years when Arkansas was a top 5 team. Can't blame LSU for that. Florida is gonna play a top 10 team in FSU, Georgia is gonna play the SECCG, and Texas A&M just finished playing 4-5 games against ranked teams.

Now, if he wants to bash Bama and say that they aren't deserving of #2, I'll listen.

Let's see any team in the country play @Florida, USCe, @A&M, and Bama back-to-back. SI can kiss my tiger arse!

No he doesn't.

He is absolutely wrong, as usual.

All BCS teams play cupcake OOC teams. But, the SEC just happened to have a bunch all on one weekend at the same time, and this late in the season.

Jackass prick.

Just another stupid bitch who has a bias towards the SEC. Wonder was he saying the same to Boise St. with their we schedule every damn year. Kstate's schedule is weak too. So is FSU. Just because they play some perceived good teams, it doesn't mean shite.

If Oregon or KState had lost non-conference games he'd have a point. What happened to them was no different than what happend to Alabama last week.

While you could make the point that the SEC only plays 8 conference games to the Pac12s 9, Alabama's 4 non-conference games (Mich, W Kentucky, Fla Atl, W Carolina) are at least equal to Oregon's 3 (Ark St, Fresno St, Tenn Tech).

He wasn't dismissing LSU...no one would be talking shite if LSU were in the hunt.

Bama has played 2 solid teams this entire season, got substantially outgained both times, went 1-1, and is in prime position to play in the National Championship.

THIS is a valid point. The general coment about the SEC, not so much.

So you're saying I should've read the article and not just trust the Rant synopsis?

I didn't think he was calling the SEC out for this. I thought he was saying the SEC was smart to schedule a lot of its big games earlier in the season, then later the cupcakes while the rest of the conferences were hitting the heavyweight part of their schedules and we could sort of relax and watch the carnage. Maybe I'm wrong, but it seemed to me he was in a wry way saluting the SEC for smart scheduling.

Did you see who the other SEC teams played this weekend? I,m sure his article is about that. All of them played cupcakes. LSU v Ole Miss was 1 of only about 3 SEC match ups. I think its silly to have cupcakes so late in the season.

Musberger said Saturday night that the SEC should schedule another week of conference games so as to not embarrass itself with its nonconference games.

This.

And on top of that, if Mandel was one of the media pricks pushing for Bama's mulligan last season despite their historically weak schedule, then he can go frick himself. Because of morons like him, programs like Bama have perfected the weak schedule Championship Run.

Just wait till next year as well. Bama will play two good teams again all season, by design. IF they lose to LSU at home, Mandel will push for another Mulligan, and the cycle continues to the playoff.

Frick these media idiots. You reap what you sow when you promote media darlings with weak schedules.

can't find many teams in the country that wouldn't go 0-4 against that schedule.
