Indiana doesn't scare me in the slightest. I just want bama to exit as early as possible. Knowing our history with them, why anyone would actively want them to advance farther into the playoff boggles the mind

Kirby really is one of the best rhythmic cussers in the world. Incredible!

probably my favorite "leaked" lockerroom speech ever. I do kinda hate though that it's always referred to as being before the TCU game which isn't correct. I believe several players confirmed it was prior to the SECCG.

In 2017 Auburn beat both Alabama and Georgia in the regular season.

---

they had 2 losses to those other team's 1, which is preeeetty important. But let's continue.

quote:

---

Their "reward" for beating Alabama was they had to play in the SEC Championship game vs. Georgia.

---

Yes, from 1992-2023 the winners of each division played for the conference title. That isn't anything new or fist shaking unique to AU in 2017

quote:

---

while Alabama stayed home.

---

yes, stayed home meaning they were not in control of their destiny. Had Auburn won the game, you would have a top 4 of the major conference winners; Clemson/AU/OU/OSU.

quote:

---

Georgia won and, as a result, Alabama got to jump a team they had just lost to for literally doing nothing.

---

Well alabama had 1 loss compared to AU's 3, so yeah I'd say that makes sense.

In 2023

Was not in the first 9 years of the playoff as I mentioned. That final year in 2023 was FUBAR'd every which way so you'll get no arugment from me.

quote:

---

Any time there something else besides predetermined objective criteria

---

The first 9 years they did use this even if people stick their fingers in their ears and ignore it. You needed to be a conference champion, or if you didn't win your conference you needed 1 loss and some luck. I posted a "Playoff committee decision making thread" 9 straight yeras on thsi board explaning in detial why the ocmmittee operated like they did and they operated the exact same way 100% of the time in those 9 years.

Hell, just last season, in the first 12 team CFP,

The 12 team playoff is dumb as shite so again I have no arugments otherwise

does him drinking lead him to make elite decision making?
Muschamp is a home run hire any way you slice it.

Man that is surprising to me. He was lights out as a staffer here but stepped away to spend more time with family and watch his son play ball.

I guess I just assumed that if he ever got the itch again it'd be at UGA in some capacity instead of the pressure cooker that is DC at a program like texas (yes, obviously I know his history there).

Grand slam hire for texas.

I'd prefer a 16 team playoff

gross

Six years ago, the world’s most valuable sports team was worth $5 billion. Now, that figure wouldn’t even crack the top 50.

---

can someone ELI5 how this is even possible? Like what has changed in such a short period of time to make these numbers so drastically different?

quote:

---

We're missing out on some epic matches. Why?

---

because today's society is built on "everyone gets a trophy" participation awards. When the powers that be felt a deep sadness in their puny hearts because the little guy didn't have a chance to be champion over the bama's of the world, they decided we needed to make everything more "fair" and let the little guy in despite having less than zero business being anywhere near it.

And just like last year we will see shite games in the first round with the 11 and 12 seeds both being utterly demolished. But hey, at least they got a shot right!?

I sure feel better about the sugar bowl now.

What channel is that new show on in Birmingham?
