Yep

 if people want to argue the big 10 is the best conference they can go fuck themselves.

I am not advocating chanting S-E-C, but it’s just stupid to continue the fight against the SEC bias now. That is so last year 

That's cool, I guess... I'm just saying don't be a sec homer/fanboi.

I mean all the recent ND faceplants are under Brian Kelly. His record in big games in the postseason is abysmal. Even Bilbo Aggins can laugh

Faceplants have been a staple of the Freeman era as well

 

 

 

[Huckleberry 33057]

Yeah, Northern Illinois was I think the third time Freeman has lost at home as a 20+ point favorite, right? NIU this year then Marshall and one other in previous years I thought.

Should go back to a BCS style but updated algorithm that takes into account strength of schedule. 

The Big 10 and SEC champion get auto bid. The best ranked next 2 conference champions get the final 2 auto bids. 

Then go down the line starting at 1 to fill in the rest. 

That's the way it should be, but will never happen because CFB doesn't want to give away it's power to make matchups for TV ratings.

Maybe the loss against a 3-9 Stanford?

Kansas just beat a top 25 ranked team, 3 weeks in a row. 

Which proves what?

Anyone? 

Spoiler

That rankings don't mean shit, especially in a weak ass after conference

Or their OC finally figured out how to call a good game and their QB is healthy once again.

Rankings are a beauty pageant based on past performance not a predictive measurement, that would be a power rating like ESPN’s FPI

But blowhards in the media and on the internet know they would beat ND, PSU, and Indiana?  Did you consider that?

Spoiler

They had even greater confidence they would beat vandy and ou.  Alas.

While I do think Bama would beat all 3 of those teams. Here is the problem. Bama has 3 fucking losses. Those teams have 1. The results on the field have to matter. 

[Hermanator 7127]

Sounds like something that could be solved with proper schedule weighting

[LonghornSean 4017]

I don’t typically buy into “media member X hates us” and that line of thinking.

But listening and reading to recaps of this weekend (and the last few), and it’s incredible how our wins are plainly dismissed in comparison to other flawed teams in CFP contention.

Penn State win by 1 against Minnesota: “Minnesota been playing well…good win for PSU”

Indiana 38-15 to Ohio State…”was closer than it seemed cause of special teams and late TD”

Oregon…”gutsy win at Wisconsin”

I’ve heard heaps of credit given to SMU and Tennessee for fuck’s sake, hardly a positive word said about Texas in the last month.

”if Texas loses to A&M they should fall far in the rankings…what have they done?”, while in the same breath saying the environment we’re walking into Saturday will be one of the toughest in recent memory.

I know I shouldn’t give a shit, we’re fine with the CFP, but it’s annoying me. Need to shut them all up over the next couple weeks.

I completely agree. You will get no argument for me. Notre Dame is the most overrated team Thin CFB. At least overrated SEC teams win when they get to the playoff. Notre Dame just gets their breaks beaten off and then everyone forgets two days later and we are subjected to the same bullshit 1 year later. 

Then what is wrong with the rest of college football?  We haven't played a competitive game in over a month.

Yall got the breaks beat off of you by Northern Illinois and havent played anyone with a pulse since then. Join a real conference. Try winning a playoff game this year and not embarrassing yourself at home.

And Texas is the only team with a chance to get to 6 this week. Every CCG winner should get another.

Starting to hear the SEC should only get three teams in the CFP talk.

If Wisconsin beats Minnesota psu will have 6.

Before this last weekend we were the only team to have 8 wins over teams with a .500 or better record.

I’m not sure how that may have changed based on the results of this past weekend

It's highly regarded to discuss how many teams a conference deserves to get in without talking the actual teams on the bubble.

The narrative switched. Before Georgia we were invincible, the best team in the country. Then we lost and so we're frauds. Plus for lots of people that was the only time they have watched us all year.
