I said “there should be a rule no team on the conference champ
Game can fall behind a team that sits idle”. You said no fricking way they should make that a rule
Why they change in heart?

Id like to see them not get in because I guarantee the response would be for the SEC to immediately eliminate the SECCG
agreed. we are living in bizarro world when the 3rd and 4th place SEC teams sit back in a more comfortable position than the 1st and 2nd place teams.
win the conference during the season, and let the playoffs begin. if 5 teams have 1 loss, use whatever metrics you want to crown a winner. it used to mean something to win the SECCG, now its just in the way.

2011 lsu and bama doesn’t ring a bell?
It’s wild since it’s happening to bama for once people are acting like this is the first time the SEC champ game participants get treated unfairly

i don't think i specified THIS YEAR only......we've been living in that bizarro world.
however, looking back, there were some SECCG's that benefited LSU by playing in and winning, so thankful for those too!

I’d have to go back and look at the exchange, the season, and anything that would add context.
I’m not above changing my mind over a 9 year span after observing changes in the game and how the committee operates.
What had the committee established to that point? I’m not doing the morally right thing in 2017 if every year before that the committee operated under a different criteria.
I’m also not immune from being biased. I’d have to go look at all of that to tell you why I changed my mind, assuming you’re right and I did.

The committee established the same thing as they always have. You can move down in rankings behind teams who sat idle by losing in the conf champ game
That even happened LAST year Bama fans are acting completely insane to all of the committee history thinking it would be a new thing

Whatcha mean?
I’m not sure I know what argument you’re attributing to me with that last part.

I mean just last year alone, a team lost in their conf champ game and moved behind a team that didn’t play one….
Bama fans are acting like it would be some crazy grave injustice to them it’s happened to multiple teams from the committee and as recently as last year

What was the situation?
It would be retarded for ND to move ahead of Alabama no matter what happens on Saturday.
I know damn well you’ve debated aggressively for all that matters is better wins if records are similar(sorta take out conference championships and how they get weird with extra games).
Say it’s week 10. You, in the past, would never even consider ND being ranked ahead of Alabama with this year’s played games and resumes.
What gives this year?

Dude I said I would have bama ahead of ND from the beginning. I’m just telling you there is no “you can’t be penalized for losing a conf champ game” bullshite like bama fanss are trying to create. It’s happened multiple times
What else is funny I have seen “having the best loser matters most” be the argument. I’ve also seen “it’s really about the eye test and how you are playing now” be the argument. Now it’s “who is your best win” as the argument. It’s all over the place just to suite your personal needs
It’s an absolute joke that’s how playoff teams are decided

ND is going to jump Alabama if they lose by 13 to the #3 team in the country who they have already beat at their place? All with a top 5ish SOS and most ranked wins(idk if this is true anymore) and same record as ND?
That would be gay af

Member when you argued your arse off in 2017 with me saying Auburn 100% should be penalized for losing the SEC Champ game to UGA,
What did the committee rank Auburn after the SECCG? Behind OSU. Behind 11-1 Wisconsin as well.
What’s this have to do with Alabama?
ETA: Bro if Alabama had a much tougher SOS than Auburn that year I’m going to deem this point of yours retarded as frick.

Teams shouldn’t be penalized for playing in the conference championship game in favor of a team that doesn’t even make the championship game.

I get it but you also shouldn’t be rewarded for losing this time of year…

The committee and media are telling us that ND's 0-2 start never happened.

No we shouldn't, not if blown out.

Viewership obviously matters, as castorinho showed above.
But that doesn't allow for the let's call it censorship that the media imposed early on this fall.
I wanted to see Indiana fairly early and it just wasn't there.
I avoided watching Notre Dame (most beloved of NBC for decades) but they were available (or seemed to be) prime time every weekend. The space occupied by them meant other interesting games weren't getting the prime exposure.
Alabama still seems to be beloved of media when it comes to scheduling prime time. I'm not sure who else gets that exposure in the SEC.
I see this as a problem that will increase as ESPN pours more money into specific conferences and weighs their decisions based on potential viewership.
