re: SEC babies whining about SOS and not playing OOC games is pathetic

Byrne’s “logic” made no sense. Bama’s OOC was bad this year. Their best opponent was Wisconsin. Now, it’s no fault of their own Wisconsin was 5-7 this year, but it doesn’t change the fact they were. Their other three OOC opponents were complete jokes.
Ironically, if Bama had even just one ranked OOC win, it might’ve been enough for them to overcome their (conference) loss to 6-6 Vanderbilt and 21-point (conference) loss to 6-6 Oklahoma and get them in over SMU.

Oklahoma and Vanderbilt played the #4 and #8 strength of schedules.

Are you under the impression that preseason rankings are used to judge teams right now? Lol

All of their "big wins" are against each other.

This doesn’t answer the question. Do you need me to ask again?

Member when you thought TCU was comparable to a top SEC team then 65-7 happened. I member.
You member? Are you 12 or just a 65 IQ
I never said anything like that. I said they were more deserving of a playoff berth in the format at the time than a 2 loss SEC team that did not win its division. I said most deserving is the standard that should be used not the 100% subjective best. Feel free to link any post where i said TCU was “better”.

If a team is going to have to play 4-5 ranked teams in conference then the committee has shown they should not play a big OOC game
Bama beat their only P4 OOC opponent 5-7 Wisconsin 42-10. Explain how not playing that game helps them? Ole Miss played no big OOC games they played Furman MTSU Ga So and Wake Forest. Why didn’t that help them. South Carolina beat Clemson explain how not having that game on their resume would have helped their playoff chances?

I think they should reduce the playoff to eight teams with four conference champ participants.
People who are talking about changing schedule strategies have lost the thread IMO. Because we're discussing the 10th through 12th ranked teams who are frankly not deserving of the opportunity to play for a championship anyway.
It is generally necessary to become better through a good schedule. I don't know if Georgia wins the SEC if they don't play real games against teams like Clemson and Tech.
I think looking at this year's top six seeds the trend is clearly the opposite of playing weak ooc schedules. That's not an accident even for the years where a top four team (conference champ) has a weak ooc slate. The outlier TCU type should get destroyed by the second or third round
SMU is marginal as a 12th seed but no Alabama or Ole Miss fan should really feel justified in complaining when they shite the bed against Vanderbilt, Oklahoma, Kentucky and Florida.
The SEC had a major down year and still managed three teams in a 12 team field. It's an appropriate outcome on the balance.

SEC SOS is mostly a big circle jerk. 8-9 team start of ranked then they play each other and get all these ranked wins.
SoS isn't calculated or influenced by human polls/rankings/votes. You dont seem to understand how they come up with SoS.

So what are you saying?
Team with losses to mediocre and bad SEC teams should sack up and win and not whine about OOC games when that’s not what is keeping them out of the playoff in the first place.

The SEC teams aren’t good and shouldn’t count as good wins?
The problem isn’t the good wins not counting it’s the bad losses. Ole Miss lost to Kentucky AT HOME. It was their first SEC game. UK went 4-8 OM is the only P4 team they beat. Louisville beat them 41-14, someone on here was mocking Notre Dame for beating Lville by 7
Bama lost to 6-6 OU. They were 2-6 in the SEC their OOC was Temple Houston Tulane and Maine (maybe they would win the AAC!) They also lost to 6-6!Vandy for the first time in 40 years!
UGA played 2 better OOC games AND a tougher SEC schedule than Bama and OM. They weren’t left out because they took care of business. Tennessee is a better example they Los to mediocre Arkansas but some managed to beat OU Vandy and Kentucky Ana’s a result they are in the playoffs

Not gonna matter if one of those underdogs pulls an upset against a SEC Team which is the whole purpose of the Playoff. We cant just crame every SEC in there because they had a history of being good, they're not good enough right now and spots ate limited. You had your spot and you lost it, plain and simple.

Who’s doing it then AI? Aliens??It’s based on formulas created by humans, it’s not some Algebraic proof discovered by Newton

There are multiple iterations of it, various computer rankings and formulas but roughly based on the rankings of a teams opponents.
You and the teams whining about it and how SEC teams should not play tough OOC games don’t seem to understand why a 4th SEC did not make it.

It does influence subsequent polls at least a little.
