re: McElroy is such a freaking homer along with the other Bama homers on ESPN

I see your point and it’s a valid one. We’ll see when the numbers come out. (I have a feeling you’ll be surprised). This thing has generated a whole lot of intrigue

I really want to thank you for this because being accused of being being a Bama homer is probably the funniest thing I’ve ever heard
Though it is rather telling that you think the only way someone can argue for anything is if they are biased. Shows you don’t have a standards or objective view kinda sad.

the message is “don’t lose to a 5-7 team
That works for Nostradamus to know a team you scheduled years ago, that was 13-0 in 2023 will go 5-7 however you can also avoid losing by scheduling a CUSA team at home, that’s much simpler than figuring out who going to be 5-7 from P4 conference

Yawn. There are posters on this board this morning arguing ND has a “cupcake schedule” for this exact reason. I applaud Bama scheduling FSU, and it’s good for everyone to have these big games, but that doesn’t change that Bama lost by 14 to a team that finished 5-7. If we were arguing rankings in week 2 you have a point, but we have 11 more weeks of games to see how bad FSU is and that this is a disqualifying loss for Bama.

Not sure what relevance other posters argument is to this discussion however they are not wrong and ND is almost certainly in so….

I 100% agree with this, which is why I think Bama should be in, Texas is also out because they played at Ohio State, of course they also lost to a bad Florida team, but if they would be in at 10-2 they are effectively being punished for scheduling tOSU. If you schedule up and lose there’s no margin for error so why not stay home and playing a Sun Belt team

If Bama is out the message is crystal clear. DO NOT EVER schedule anything OOC away from home or against any P4 conference team and avoid the CCG.
Bama couldn’t beat a garbage FSU team much less the fact that team blew them out.
At Least UT lost to a top 2 team and they don’t belong in either. Bad losses have to mean something. Bama fans and ESPN told us that it mattered in 2011 even though OSU had twice as many top 25 wins as Bama and o my lost in OT by 3 on the road while Bama lost at home.
In the end, you don’t get to decide the rules used to a team’s advantage magically shift.

“He’s such a fricking chode. I get he went to Bama but he should be embarrassed for how unobjective he was being.”
Now do Booger!!

They lost to an atrocious UF team that finished with 4 wins. They should not have been in the playoffs even if they hadn’t played tOSU.
SEC should not get 5 teams in much less 6 teams when two of them have atrocious losses. UT also barely beat multiple teams with losing records that they needed OT to defeat in MSU and UK.

Finebaum currently fellating Alabama on ESPN, no surprise there.

Then you add in Indiana who probably doesn't have all that big of a fanbase outside of their state,
Long time Indiana fans have to be pinching themselves over and over these past couple of years. It’s a great story.
They’ll gain a wider fan base if they can keep this level of play up for a few years.
They are fun to watch and Cig is obviously one of those rare types that only come around once in a rare blue moon.
Human nature being what it is, how many years of high level play before Indiana fans would become entitled like almost all big time football fan bases tend to become after success settles in?

A decade of winning and a championship or two. I think Clemson would be a good example of creating an entitled fan base. But it took just one lousy season for the ladder to get kicked out from under them.

So your standard is quality of loss is by far the most important factor?
Meanwhile OU who Texas beat pretty good and is also 10-2 would be in? That’s actually worse than punishing them for losing big games

That was week 1 and you are completely missing the point. They don’t lose at home to Texas State.

The irony of people posting in a
Thread complaining about bias by Greg McElroy who are themselves even more biased is fantastic. I would root for the Taliban before I root for Bama. But because i believed In 2001, 2003 and 2011 that a team that did not play in their CCG should NOT play for the BCS Championship is why i think with a 12 team playoff you should not penalize a team that lost a CCG to the benefit of teams that did not have to play in it. It’s called having standards.

I see the value because if Texas beat OSU but still lost to Florida they are probably in.
Using ND last year they benefitted greatly from beating TAMU in the 1 loss team discussions.
In the same vain as Bama, Miami scheduling FSU could have been a nice OOC win if FSU doesn’t fall off a cliff.
Good OOC wins negate a second loss in conference.

If they play and beat ULM aren’t they still in? Does one bad loss negate wins over A&M OU and Vandy?

ND was 11-1 and doesn’t play in a conference, if they scheduled nothing but G5 teams they wouldn’t sniff the playoffs.

10-2 in the SEC almost certainly gets you in so the risk of a loss outweighs the benefit in these cases
