Oh. Well, no, not really.

It's generally ordered, but it isn't uncommon for a team with less losses to sit behind a team with more.

I’m talking about at the top. But it is not worth arguing about. It is not my opinion, it’s an absolute fact. Two loss teams are historically ranked lower than 1 loss teams. You can disagree all you want, but it won’t make you less wrong.

You can talk about whatever you want. It won't change anything I've said. I'm correct. Deal with it.

It's not that they had 2 losses. It's that one of those those loses was by 30+ to a 7 win Iowa team.

Ohio State just got some sweet karma for all the shite talking they did about PSU losing two games last year.

you are right, if Ohio State wouldve just scheduled Mercer instead of Oklahoma they would be a much better team and 100% in the playoffs despite being the exact same team.

college football is at its best when a win over Mercer is 1000x better than a loss to a top 4 team

Why not Wisconsin?

Bama lost to a team that finished with 3 losses, and had no significant wins.

Wisconsin had 1 loss in the championship game to a 2-loss team.

You're up.

Yep. We were all fooling ourselves. If auburn would have won, they would have to play GA and potentially bama twice.

No worries, bama will get beat pretty bad in the first round.

No, it's just better when a win over Mercer is better than a 31 point lost to a 7-5 team.

Wtf are you talking about? You're whining about Alabama beating Mercer while pretending like Ohio st didn't lose by 31 points to a 5 loss team. Where does Oklahoma fit in there?

And I can guarantee you if Alabama was the sec Champion you wouldn't be bitching about Mercer. So once again, wtf are you talking about?

4 years, 16 teams, ZERO have had 2 or more losses. That’s it. Accept it and move the frick on.


I have no problem with Bama being in the playoffs, but as an LSU fan, should you really be making this particular argument?
