re: Are you embarrassed that Alabama is trying to cancel their '27/'28 games vs Ohio State ?

Ohio State probably doesn't get a first round bye without that Texas win.
They are 12-1 with the one loss in the CCG to the #1 seed. They would have easily gotten a first round bye no matter who they beat in game #1.

When you play in the stacked SEC your strength of schedule can be more than enough even if you have 2-3 losses. Notre Dame & Byu's schedule was weak. Byu because of their no depth conference. Domers because they prefer to not be in a conference in football. They do have a sweetheart deal on the way with the playoffs though.

Good for them. The committee has shown its about number of losses, not who went out and played a strong schedule. Expect much more of this.
Why do people keep saying this ?
Alabama got in with 3 losses, including a loss to a team with a losing record.
Meanwhile Notre Dame & BYU were left out with only 2 losses.
BYU's worst loss was to Texas Tech, a top 4 seed.
So why do you keep saying that all the committee cares about is number of losses ?

Scared money don’t make no money… they should let the players decide

Why do you keep saying the same thing? Why make another thread about it instead of posting in the first thread you started?
I understand why Bama would cancel the game since going to a 9 game SEC schedule will be enough SOS to get in the playoffs without an additional game against a perennial top 10 team.
I will be disappointed to not go see Bama play Ohio State and Notre Dame at their place.

Because morons keep saying that all the committee cares about is wins and losses, and not strength of schedule.
They literally put 3 loss Alabama in over 2 loss ND & BYU.
Why did they do that ?
Because they didn't go on number of losses, they went on strength of schedule.
I don't know why people can't get this through their heads.
You're arguing against facts.

OP’s propaganda failed on the SEC Rant so he brought it here. What’s sad is this cuck is a LSUer pretending to be a Bucknut.

Not one damn bit. The reality today in the current landscape of the sport is that your entire reason and motivation for doing this, period and mic drop, should be getting into the field to play for the big trophy, and if big intersectional regular season games between traditional powers are an impediment to getting into the field to play for the big trophy, au revoir to them. Is what it is.

This is what the OP isn’t getting. The SEC is inherently superior to all other conferences, any team can beat any other team on a given day when the planets align, and with a 9-game schedule I am not playing jack caca out of conference.

Why would I? OU plays anybody anywhere.
But if you are asking whether we should all be embarrassed, well... maybe. But the CFP committee has made it quite clear that number of wins/losses does not equal quality of win/losses. And the powers-that-be will always try to get the best media teams in if they can. So this is the state of affairs we are heading towards.
Notre Dame will very well likely get in the next few CFPs without playing a single team ranked in the top 50 of any rating system. And I somehow doubt OSU is going to be replacing that 'Bama game with Georgia/UT/OU or the like (nor should they).

The 3rd loss was in a conference championship game.

The Big Ten just won back to back National Titles.
Ohio State just beat 3 top 10 SEC teams in a row, including 2 in the playoffs.
Michigan beat Alabama in the playoffs on their way to a Natty the prior year.
But yeah, The SEC is inherently superior to all other conferences

Another change that is objectively bad for the sport. Soon the power programs will have slop for 25% of their schedule. And season ticket holders will keep on being asked to pay higher prices.

The SEC has quality depth. All the other conferences do not. In the other conferences you don't have to play in as many hostile 80,000 plus stadiums. This year I noticed nearly week to week looking at big time matchups it was mostly from the SEC. The others just didn't have many marquee games. 9 game SEC schedule will be more than enough for strength of schedule. Now for Ohio St they need the Bama game for the school & fans to have another big game besides Michigan.

Ohio State would not come close to being unbeaten playing a conference schedule in the SEC.
Posted on 12/27/25 at 11:55 am to Damn Yanks
I mean this is just a natural reaction to how the committee has placed teams.
I wouldn’t blame any team for reacting this way.
Everyone said this would be seen across the sport when Texas got left out.
They should have been left out.
But had they played UTSA in week 1 they would likely be in even with the UF loss.
Also a result of going to a 9 game sec schedule

Vanderbilt went 6-2 in SEC this year too, but they weren’t getting in the CFP.
Because they didn’t really beat anyone worth a shite in the sec.
Texas had that on their resume.

Mouth Breathers: Muh, All the committee cares about is wins and losses.
Logical Person: The committee selected 3 loss Bama over 2 loss ND & BYU
Mouth Breather: Muh, All the committee cares about is wins and losses
It's like talking to the wall

Each year the committee is different as people leave and others join. Texas wasn't dinged for the Ohio State loss. They didn't make it because they lost to a bad Florida team and got boatraced by Georgia. They also looked mediocre in a number of their wins over bad teams.

What do you classify someone who continues to make shitty alt accounts to post about Ohio State?
