Yea just wait until LSU is 9-3 with having to play teams like UGA, Texas, Bama, Auburn, Tennessee and Florida all in one year and get left out of the playoffs because of a team like Indiana had a little bit better record with their shitty arse schedule and see if you still agree with all this.
Football is entertainment, you know.

This was announced right before the SEC schedule announcement. This was the last thing the SEC was waiting on to go to the 9 game schedule.
This motherfricker is too stupid and reactionary to understand context like this and how it relates to the SEC’s decision. Even with this explanation he won’t fricking get it.

The first problem is you assume all these teams are always the best version of themselves which never happens. Are we playing 2010 Auburn or the Auburn that has lost 7 games 4 years in a row. Florida hasn’t won the SEC since 2008. Tennessee was garbage for 15 years
However last year UGA played Bama Texas Ole Miss all on the road and Tennessee. Those were the other 4 highest ranked SEC teams, Texas again in the SECCG plus Clemson and Ga Tech and went 11-2

Then how do you explain Bama getting into the CFP over undefeated FSU?

Why was 2 loss LSU in the BCSCG in 2007 over undefeated Hawaii and 1 loss Kansas?
People have been fretting over this forever. 20 years ago they were worried about Boise of what ever non BCS team was ranked high and that team would go undefeated and never shift the NCG

1st page of this thread is going very TD-esque.

Except for the fact that they literally just announced that they would.

This is what it is really about...i dont think 5 but I think the sec will be guaranteed 4 spots...so finish in the top 4 in conference and you are golden. I do think screw playing hi powered teams out of conference. The goal is making the playoffs/top 4 in conference. A simpleton like the OP, that is WAY over his head to try and understand.

Announcement made just this week seems to indicate otherwise moving forward.

quote:
“Changes for the upcoming season include enhancements to the tools that the selection committee uses to assess schedule strength and how teams perform against their schedule. The current schedule strength metric has been adjusted to apply greater weight to games against strong opponents,” the College Football Playoff release stated. “An additional metric, record strength, has been added to the selection committee’s analysis to go beyond a team’s schedule strength to assess how a team performed against that schedule. This metric rewards teams defeating high-quality opponents while minimizing the penalty for losing to such a team. Conversely, these changes will provide minimal reward for defeating a lower quality opponent while imposing a greater penalty for losing to such a team.”

but actions speak louder than words. It just takes another Indiana/SMU situation for people to potentially falter under the “deserve” pressure.
You’re talking here about 3 loss teams. Both Bama and OM had terrible, inexcusable losses last year, that’s why they didn’t make it. And 1 of OM losses was to Kentucky AT HOME in the conference opener after playing 4 scrubs so no sandwich spot or being worn down. Their P4 team was Wake Forest FFS.
Indiana and Illinois play the same schedule every year how often do they go 11-1, 10-2? SMU was tricky last year because they lost the CCG. If you penalize a team for losing that, then those games are over(which they should be anyway but i digress) if they had won it or not played it then they go and not Clemson. It was kind of a fluke.

Some people just don't pay attention and react to the latest headline without all the facts. When the 9 game SEC schedule first was mentioned last year, Sankey said he wouldn't do it until the CFB Playoff Commitee changed thier selection process to include a strength of schedule. He knew 9 games would equal more money but cannabalize the SEC from the playoffs. They announce this week that they will add a strength of schedule to thier selection process and the next day the SEC announces a 9 game schedule.....

The answer is money, but the committee says that they are going to start putting more emphasis on strength of schedule.

This is fkn stupid, even for you. Bama and om did have bad losses last year...it happens a lot when you are in the grind of playing really good teams week in and week out....vs only playing one or two quality teams all year. Teams have let downs and losses happen to capable teams. KY played a lot of games close last year and should have beaten uga also. Vandy was a tough out last year....those arent teams like at the bottom of the big 10 where you win by 40 or 50 points. This is really a stupid argument.

Arizona state and smu should not have been in the playoffs. Probably 8 to 9 sec teams would have been favored over them last year, had they played. If not more.

Arizona State won their conference and got an auto bid so yes they should have been in the playoffs. They also took the #2 team in the SEC to 2 OT and arguably got hosed on a bad call.
Keep SMU out but that ends the CCG. As I said it should have been them in and not Clemson. 1 should have gone not both
