  1. I bet Florida doesn't end with that record if they didn't fire their coach mid-season.
  2. Because 10-3 sounds a lot better than 9-4.
  3. Personally I don't care if Texas gets left out this year. I think most Texas fans would be fine with it as well, but the consequences of this will be felt by the entire college football when there are no marquee non conference games anymore. We will all get to watch a bunch of cupcake games early in the season. Yay!
  4. The proof is Vandy and OU and Miami being above us. FFs get a clue.
  5. Are you stupid or something? We are all saying that follow your own metrics that you put forth instead of putting most of the weight on W/L regardless of quality like the idiotic fans and AP voters.
  6. All those words to show no proof and to regurgitate what haters are saying. A 2 loss SEC team with 3 top 10 wins gets in easily. Our 3rd loss, which is on the road to the #1 team, who nobody else has beaten either, is keeping us out. SOS means shit to the committee.
  7. They got left out because of their star QB getting injured, not because of their schedule.
  8. This shows to me that they couldn't beat any good team. Lost to the only 2 good teams (Bama and Texas) they had on their schedule. If you haven't beaten a single playoff caliber team, how do you expect to be in the playoffs?
  9. What evidence do you have for this argument? It's one thing to say they are supposed to be considering the SOS and another to show that they have. Their ranking doesn't support your argument.
  10. Those who don't like Texas like to point out that if we didn't have the Florida loss, we would be in and that the OOC loss to tOSU doesn't matter. Guess what, every team with 2 or fewer losses in the SEC is a shoe in except us because our 3rd loss is to #1 tOSU on the road at the beginning of the season. We also have 3 top 10 wins.
  11. Yes we were ranked, but as the season went on, the AP decided to rank the teams with fewer losses, including some of those whom we beat, ahead of us. So the negative effect of the early season loss had more impact as the season went on.
  12. Well, the rules are different and the way the NFL and NCAA leagues are set up are different. The NFL doesn't have a selection committee because the rules are straight forward. With the NCAA, you have zillions of teams playing in different leagues of varying SOS. If you go by the number of losses alone, then you will end up with a bunch of weak teams who played nobody. The goal of the selection committee is to identify top 12 teams at the time of the playoffs, not teams with the fewest losses (even though they are weighing this metric heavily). We have a very imperfect system right now where you can argue for or against many teams according to your own bias.
  13. What was Ole Miss before Kiffin? You don't think the head coach matters? That's literally one of the criteria for ranking teams. Also, if Texas gets left out because of its 3rd loss, there is no reason for an SEC or B1G team to schedule tough non-conference games. They have enough SOS playing in those conferences. Why risk a 3rd loss?
  14. I am not sure if ND losing helps us. They are not letting 6-7 SEC teams in. ND's spot will probably go to a B12 or ACC (i. E., Miami) team.
  15. True. There will be a lot of politicking over the next week by the pro-Texas crowd, but unless the committee decides to let 6 SEC teams in, it's likely over for us.
  16. Not looking good. Down to our last chance with Auburn.
  17. Van Buren thinks he is Arch.
  18. Vandy's beatdown of Tennessee is not helpful.
  19. Dude, I see the future.
  20. No help from Tennessee and LSU.
  21. Yes, we should be in as the 5th ranked SEC team.
  22. I don't think LSU is going to help our cause. They have no offense. It will come down to Auburn taking care of business at home.
  23. LSU is playing not to lose.
