re: Ole Miss should be in if SMU wins ACC. USC is also more deserving than Bama.

South Carolina lost to Bama. Both teams have the same record, there is no argument for them being over Bama.

That final spot for the SEC is between Ole Miss and Bama. That's it.

You have ignored it 5 times in this thread alone

Bama was multiple sports above Tennessee two weeks ago

So you're saying you don't want the best teams in the playoffs. Just say that pussy


What are the best teams, and how do we determine that? It's all very subjective.

Which is why the committee often times ignored head to head

They do whatever they want

Stop all this damn whining! Y'all know Abam is getting in if they can make it make sense to them. The did it in 11, they did it in 17, they did it 23. They will never leave out Bama, get over it!

You are ignoring the fact that Georgia was another 2 loss team (who beat Tennessee and lost to Bama) in the equation.

We don’t deserve anything with how we’ve played and the eggs we’ve laid

Not if your conference is fricking trash. This stupid take is why, along with "players deserve money", is why college football will die. Watch. The sport is already a shadow of what it was and will only get worse. You frickers where worked by ESPN propaganda. What made college football special is dead and people will check out because of it.

South Carolina beat OU 35-9 in Norman.


OU beat bama 24-3.


The guys arguing best team should be in don't understand football. We watched a georgia team beat a bama team in their conference game then lose 2 weeks later in the sec title. Who is the better team?

Anyone that thinks better team doesn't change on a day to day basis doesn't understand football. Which is why playoffs should be based off record. I think lsu would beat Miami or smu 6/10 times. So we are a better team. But on the Saturdays that mattered this year, they showed up. We didn't. Hats off to them.

What?




Listen I hate the 12 team playoff.


Hell I hated the 4 team.


I liked the BCS and said that should have stayed.


With that said if you think there are going to be LESS eyeballs now than say 2018 then you are crazy.


Take for instance.


Oregon is number 1 and most likely national champion.

Penn state is heavily involved.


Hell Indiana is in it.

Miami.

Michigan won it last year.






The sport as a whole has way more people still tuned in than repeating the SEC season/championship with the only difference of “it counts for real real this time”

Interesting that you list the good wins that Ole Miss and South Carolina have, but for Alabama you only mention their losses.

4. ASU/Iowa State winner


Don’t really want to stick up for teams Tech beat, but BYU is SMU’s only loss, so I don’t know why the Big12 champ would be behind the ACC champ, much less Boise (who deserves a playoff spot if they win out, but not a bye)

Exactly. BYU, Arizona State, and even Iowa State is better than SMU.

They had their chance and lost head to fricking head. You know the same thing everyone was screaming last year about Texas and Bama. That's all I heard was how Bama couldn't jump Texas because they lost the game on the field, which I absolutely agree with. Both have the same records, sos is almost identical, Bama has the better wins, and also owns H2H.

USC lost @ Bama by 2 points. Home field is worth 3.

Outside of their head to head, USC has two losses, Bama has 3.

Bama lost to two 6-6 teams, losing by 21 points to one of them last week. Carolina’s worst loss was to an 8 win team. Carolina just won @ #12 and are on a 6 game win streak.

You can make an argument for Bama over Carolina, but to me it’s an easy decision.

I strongly argued for Bama over Texas last year. Head to head obviously matters, but it’s just one factor. You don’t ignore all the other data if you want to fairly and accurately assess the strength of the complete resume.

Oh dude you are hilarious.

Don’t start with the head to fricking head because Alabama lost head to fricking head to Vanderbilt and they also lost head to fricking head against Oklahoma - two mediocre teams.

You are a joke.
