No, its shit like telling Cam Newton and D'shawn Watson (georgia natives) that if they came here they would have to play tight end because we don't like mobile QBs, and losing to TN, getting blown out by bama (not even putting up a fight) , going to overtime against ga southern.... doing that with all the stud recruits we get, that is shit tier coaching, nothing more. We get elite recruits solely based on our location and prestige, rich hasn't been able to accomplish shit with them. if winning 9 games a year is ok with you then fuck off.

This is the problem with the SEC. Your fans beat their chest over a 9 win season even though you didn't' beat a single ranked team and lost to the only three good teams you played.

UL Monroe, Vanderbilt, Southern, South Carolina, Monroe, GA Southern, and Kentucky.

That's 7 automatic wins and people give a shit that he won 9 games. LOL no.

This team is trash and they're going to stay that way. Jacob Eason is a skinny lanklet that throws into triple coverage on half his plays.

Even the big 12 is fully speculative. OU is a tier above Baylor/OSU/TCU, and those three are somewhere between like 8th and 25th in the country. We don't really know, because they scheduled special ed squads as appetizers in september.

I hope Dan Mullen leaves. Second year in a row that we were completely unready for the egg Bowl, despite being a similar or better team. He clearly can't win any big games and he never will. Down 21-0 in the first with 4 and 4, he kicks a field goal. He has given up on the team yet again. His play calling is so uninspired it is embarrassing. He can't recruit or coach an o line for shit and has mismanaged running backs unless an NFL quality one falls in his lap. The one bright spot is his QB development, but it is kind of hard to even be happy about that when he almost completely ruined Dak's senior season by mismanaging winnable games. Dan you clearly don't care anymore, you were laughing and smiling and talking about how this team proved people wrong after losing the Egg Bowl. Please leave, this isn't 2006 where we can't get any recruits (although you're partly to thank for that), watching that team all year I thought 8 wins was the floor and by god Dan you seemed excited to do as little as y'all could.

I was getting so damned tired of Richts bullshit.

I want a coach like saban who will admit they played like shit and they won't let it happen again. anyone supporting richt were either casual georgia fans who don't watch half the games and only see our record at the end of the year, or non-georgia fans who don't watch our games, don't know who our recruits are, and just see our record at the end of the year.

9 SEC teams have finished top 5 this decade, with 2 more appearing in the top 5. 1 of the ones that hasn't is a powerhouse. This means every SEC team has tasted success and wants more, as opposed to an Illinois fan who would be satisfied with remaining bowl eligible.

I dunno about Moo-U, but after suffering through Coach O and the latter half of Nutt's tenure, I'm pleased as punch that Freeze has brought the program from 2 win seasons to knocking on the door of the SEC West title, two years in a row, with only one top recruiting class.

I'm disappointed they're not going to Atlanta, sure, but the Sugar Bowl is a good bowl game, and (especially if Kelly stays) the future looks bright.
>>
>>63884990
TTU beat Arkansas in Arkansas and they're like the third best team in the conference. The SEC doesn't have the offense to compete with the big 12 this year, the only exception to that is Bama who can really hog the ball.

That's just it.....in a division with Michigan, OSU, MSU, and PSU, a string of three or four loss seasons would be acceptable by the fanbase there.

Schiano built the program and he could literally hold the job for the rest of his life if he wants, because Rutgers fans just want to be regularly competitive.....and even if A handful of Rutgers fans have an SEC win at all costs mentality, they don't have the power there. Schiano is a disciplinarian who is very unlikely to let his players embarrass you.

>>63886213
again, those terrible drops and turnovers were a significant element of that. That's the opposite of luck, friend. ND had like 135 yards of total offense in the first quarter despite kicking off to start the game. Truly dominated.

BCS/Ny6 bowl wins should be what you're going by. Like I said earlier, 9 win seasons are great but SEC teams only play 8 conference games and then play 3 games against demonstrably inferior (FCS, MAC, G5) teams.

With your current set up, getting to 4 wins should be automatic. Now all you have to do is finish in the top half of a 14 team conference that inludes TAMU, Mizzou, UK, and Vanderbilt and you're guaranteed 9 wins

>peer pressure

It's just common sense. LSU is a dumpster fire financially. Spending 15 million to buy out les miles would be retarded.

While there he has:

>won the natty
>regularly has some of the best recruiting classes in the country
>became the winningest coach in LSU history by percentage.

LSU can only go down from Les Miles.

Here's how to fix the program though: Instead of paying millions of dollars to fire your pretty amazing coach, pay an LSU fan 15 dollars an hour to follow Les Miles around during games and remind him how to manage the clock.

I think it just means most people aren't going to watch the playoffs. The late game on the East Coast won't be watched at all, except maybe at bars. All 20-30 somethings go out for new years or have a party that isn't going to be cfb playoff themed.

It just means if you want to watch the playoffs you'll have to be anti-social.

>>
>>63888640
Disney (more specifically ESPN) wanted to move the game because its on a Monday Night which could potentially conflict with MNF. The CFB season is already long enough when you figure in bowl games and conference championship games. Disney wants to squeeze out every dime it can get by putting MNF and the National Championship game on ESPN. I can't say I don't blame them, but that's what happens when you try to serve two masters

Why do the semifinals even have to be existing bowl games? Why can't the semifinals just be separate and the NY6 and keep the NY6 how they've always been.

Keep the Rose Bowl the B1G vs the Pac 12. No ACC team should play in the Rose Bowl.

Jan 2nd is still week 17 of the NFL regular season. Thus, no NFL that day either since week 17, every team plays on Sunday.

The NFL wanted to put a playoff game on Monday night

But that's a completely different situation
>>
>>63889773
That would be a scheduling disaster and eventually would cause too much of an unfair advantage for one team where they play on Monday, then because of the way seeding and scheduling happens, they'd play the next Saturday, giving them only 5 days rest.

Y'all kept bitching so I went and fixed cfb for you.

P5 conferences are surprisingly balanced across several polls

Only changes that need to be made are perhaps conference/division realignment of the MM teams.

Will eliminate crappy teams getting bowl bids, remove some of the controversy around playoff bids, and do so without lengthening the season at all.

It's not perfect but it's better than the BCS or what we have now.

You're welcome fuckers.

holy shit you all are fucking retarded. Bowl season is about interesting match ups between good teams that usually never ever play each other.

CFB doesn't need any fixing. Win your conference, and then enjoy bowl season. The plus one is perfect. If you win your conference and don't lose more than a game, you get to contend for a title. Otherwise fuck off. There's literally NO REASON for two teams from the same conference to play each other in a playoff game ever.

All this playoff stuff just makes it more like the NFL, when cfb is really all about hate. You hate your rivals and try to beat them each year. Winning your conference is how you can say, 'look at me, I'm better than all you fucks.' Nobody in the south hates pac teams and vice versa, why should I care if I'm better or worse than them?

you need to calm down.

I actually wouldn't hate going back to the old system, but that's been dead since the late 90s. So now that we've embarked down this path, you might as well do it right.

Also, while you've touched on what makes cfb special, you are pretending your extreme opinion is universal, when it's not even shared by the majority. There's a reason national rankings and national championships are important.

I probably do need to calm down.

But I think it's about balance. What makes cfb fun and exciting is the rivalries and history. OOC matchups are exciting too, and so is getting a national champions. But at some point it just becomes as bland as the NFL.

>>63891716
Because college football is different than basketball. Anybody can have a basketball team and fill a basketball arena. And the tournament can be held in neutral stadiums in rapid succession of games. People will go to see a couole NCAA tournament games.

A football game costs 5 times that amount, can only have one game played at a site, and requires attendance of both teams to make the cross-country trek in order to sell out stadiums.

Imagine if Houston and NIU played in a National title game that took place at the Rose Bowl. Who the fuck would attend that game? Nobody is going to pay the price of a title game ticket to go watch two teams they don't give a shit about play, and neither team could garner even near enough fans to go there.

You'd have a title game in a half-full stadium fulk of neutral fans that bought a ticket because the game was so uninteresting that tickets cost them $20. That's not an exciting college football atmosphere.

The NC should be, like always, a massive event that competes with the World Series and Super Bowl, not an event that has less people in attendance than the Texas high school state championship game

People still go to all the march madness games regardless of how small the school is.

To me, if situational and geographical bragging rights are the most important thing (and they are), the changes that need to be made are not to include more playoff teams. The changes that need to be made are to implement regular season OOC matchups between the P5 teams.

TCU has a stadium of 45k they fill every week. Boise State has a stadium of 36k they fill every week.

NIU has a stadium of 20k they have never filled. Even among G5 teams there is a huge disparity between many of them.

And even if you somehow managed to sell out a bowl game between two literally whos, then over half of the fans present are disinterested neutral fans. That is not at all what college football is all about and doesn't make for an exciting event. TCU and Boise State also benefited from novelty. That was the first time it ever happened. If it's a regular occurrence, the intrigue drops significantly.

Much of the G5 literally cannot attract fans, no matter what they do. Who the fuck is going to travel to an NIU game? No one goes to their home games when they are undefeated and have a heisman candidate playing for them.

The decision going into yesterday that was he was going to be released after the game.

Joe Schad is reporting this but he is a moron and I wouldn't trust too much of what he says

"LSU athletic director Joe Alleva announced after Saturday night's 19-7 victory over Texas A&M that Miles "is our football coach and will continue to be our football coach." Miles said in his presser he was not told until after the game that he would remain LSU's coach. He said that message came first from school president F. King Alexander, and then by Alleva. A source involved in the decision tells ESPN's Joe Schad that the decision to retain Miles was made in a meeting of LSU decision-makers during the third quarter of Saturday night's game. The source went on to lay out some of the reasons for the change of heart. The decision-makers felt that the media had swayed the public and that a decision to remove Miles would have been perceived as mean-spirited because Miles had become a sympathetic figure. Although Miles $15 million buyout would have been paid by private donations, the university felt it would have been difficult to ask for funds from the state in the future, the fear being that the state would just tell the school to rely on donations. There was also the perception that Miles appeared less hard-headed about making changes once reports about his future had emerged. The source added that it would be strongly recommended that Miles make changes on his offensive staff."

The reality is that with the govenor getting involved and the fan support they really had no choice but to keep him.

Some LSU fans are saying that Les Miles planted the cameras to garner sympathy for his firing.

Honestly I cannot make an argument to have them in over other 1 loss teams except that >>we lost earlier in the season and have looked fairly good since
>>
>>63893320
this. and florida is a pushover at this point. not saying that ohio state has a strong case itself, but bama's supposed quality SEC wins have dwindled as the season's gone on. funny how that works out. oh well it already got them in playoff position. doesn't matter that the whole point of it fell apart afterwards! roll tide motherfuckers!
>>
>>63893493

Yes, those were big victories over the powerhouses of Wisconsin and Charleston Southern
>>
>>63893320
Because even with their loss, Alabama is almost universally considered one of the best teams in the country.

Let me walk you through it: how are you defining what makes a good loss or not? Most people, (and since you're an idiot, I doubt you're any different) default to looking at the ranking of the team that beat your team. So losing to #2 Bama by a close margin would be a "quality loss", because it was a highly ranked team that beat you.

So what you're doing here, is you're looking at the coaches poll and seeing that #2 bama has not beaten very many ranked opponents, according to the coaches poll. You then think that this should prevent #2 Bama from being #2 in the playoff rankings.

But have you seen what's retarded about this yet? No? Let me explain: You're looking to the coaches poll to determine the ranking of #2 Bama's opponents, but ignoring the fact that the coaches poll also puts Bama at #2.

You can't pick and choose aspects of the coaches poll to ignore: Either Bama is a #2 team that has beaten a lot of lesser teams, or it isn't necessarily a #2 team, but then the teams bama has beaten could be better (and they are. The SEC is legitimately one of the best conferences).

As long as Bama is #2 in the coaches poll, Bama gets in the playoffs. Bama will remain #2 in the coaches poll if Bama wins out, and no other team has some ungodly high statement game like (The) tOSU had against Wisconsin last year.

This is just how the coaches poll works: Informed people rank teams based on wins and just how fucking dominant they are in game, based on extensive football knowledge mandatory to be a CFB coach.
>>
>>63893522
So what?
If you're playing a team you're expected to beat by 40, does it matter the classification?
>>
Do you feel losses later in the year are worse than losses in the beginning of the season?
>>
>>63893562
Ohio State played 6-6 Virginia Tech
It was their toughest OOC opponent
>>
>>63893565

Alabama has not been dominant. And yes, I'm well aware Alabama is overrated.
>>
>>63893602

Alabama scheduled some OOC teams that OSU wouldn't ever touch with a 50 foot pole, basically community colleges

really negates any potential for an upset
>>
>>63893593

Absolutely

everyone forgets that Oklahoma lost to Texas and Alabama lost to Ole Piss apparently
>>
>>63893593

Should we have the championship game be the first of the year?
>>
>>63884706
This. So much this.
>>
>>63893585
...yes
>>
>>63893565
No it has been proven the coaches hate doing the coaches poll and almost never take it seriously.
>>
>>63893628
And Hawaii/Western Michigan was going to stand a chance against Ohio State?
>>
>>63893607
Alabama most certainly has been dominant. This isn't reflected in scores so much as it has been reflected in games overall. Every game Bama has played since Ole Piss has gone exactly to plan:

Grind their offensive line into dust, and take over the game offensively in the second half.

If Alabama is overrated its only by one or two positions, not enough to take them out of the top 4 that go to the playoffs.
>>
>>63893686
No it doesn't. And you literally can't prove it does.

Alabama's schedule was considered the toughest schedule in college football pre season. Saban isn't trying to schedule cupcakes, it just sort of happens when playing against Bama: the team tends to destroy your morale for the season.

Well, I really hate it that they are forced at gunpoint to do the poll.

>>63893493
neither had good OOC. The real answer is that aOSU is 3rd in their conference, and Bama is 1st in theirs. No evidence that one is necessarily a lot better than the other this year.

Why?

No, remember, this was when Auburn was considered a legitimate natty contender. Auburn was widely ranked #1 in the SEC, and considered to have the best chance to enter the playoffs.

Everyone was wrong, but there you go. I'm not saying the preseason rankings were accurate at all, just that Bama wasn't trying to schedule ez games.

It was considered tough because the SEC was considered to be REALLY god this year. For fuck sakes the AP thought fucking Auburn was going to the NC game before the season started.

>>63893716
Tell me what you think is more impressive:

>Team A is ranked #1 and plays and FCS team they are favored to beat by 35. They have a Heisman candidate who plays almost the entire game, along with most starters. They win 49-7 and beat the spread

Or

>Team B is ranked #2, and plays a middling team from a P5 conference. They are favored by 24 points. After going up 28 in the 3rd quarter, the coach substitutes so 2nd string, 3rd string, and Seniors get to play while the losing team keeps the starters in and scores some garbage time points on the 3rd defensive unit. The final score is 42-24 and Team B fails to cover the 24 point spread
>>
>>63893858
Sure, and it receives it from informed coaches, the playoff committee, and commentators, from which nearly universal agreement emerges that the Crimson Tide is one of the best teams in the country.

The only people who really disagree are the aforementioned fans of meme teams who will never deserve a playoff spot.

>>63884706
Worse than their rival(Florida) being in the shitter, hiring a new coach and immediately doing what has eluded Richt for however many years? Guy is washed up if he ever was anything, but a 5 star recruit babby in the first place and Georgia is in a better position now than Florida was last year.

convenient to say but we all know if a one-loss Georgia or Auburn team was sitting on the outside there would be a horde of people saying they deserved to be in along with Alabama

We're talking about why SEC teams get preseason votes and B1G teams don't.

Iowa last had a ranked finish in 2009. Northwestern has had one since 1996. Would you bet on them to do well, or say, an SEC team that's already had a top 5 finish this decade with multiple stacked top 10 recruiting classes?
>>
>>63894192

Yeah, because Alabama desperately riding 46 carries from Henry to stumble by a shitty Auburn team is indicative of having their shit together

>>
>>63894180
but 2011 is a good point and now there are 4 spots instead of 2. "if you lose you lose early" is bullshit in this case since the loss we're talking about was of the smallest margin possible and if msu wins the big 10 championship convincingly I think osu has a good case to be included as well.

>>63894513
No I haven't. Notre Dame was on the Alabama side of the logic. They had beaten lesser opponents with lesser rankings from G5 conferences, while Oklahoma had a lot of great wins.

Now, Alabama is the team with 0 quality wins and Stanford has several.

Don't care, every team we lost to last year has already been beaten and we're way better than last year and especially two years ago.....when we beat you. You don''t have McCarron or Cooper either

that would be an argument if Ole Miss won out and Bama still got a spot. The CFP saw the loss as a fluke and placed Bama that high because they knew Bama would win the West and the SEC

strength of schedule. heard of it? it's this mystical thing that is somehow tangible and absolute, yet changes drastically every week, but only matters at the time. it shapes perception over the season that sticks even after everything that shaped it fell apart. the same perception that jumped lsu over ohio state earlier in the year, the same perception that has alabama at #2 right now. yes it does matter.

>>63894654
I hate the concept of quality losses, I merely mentioned it. The strength of Stanford over Alabama is Quality of wins, which is the thing that matters the most.

Big 12 has not done anything this year to show they are shit and as a conference has wins against the third place SEC West team and Tennessee. It's not the greatest or most detailed OOC, but it shows the conference can compete with the SEC this year

I wish OSU could schedule a flex game to play next week and buff up the resume desu family

I like how they moved Notre Dame to 6 this last week, just in case Stanford won, that way they didn't have to move them up much when they won.

pre season rankings and SoS are the same thing. pre season rankings shape SoS from the very beginning. how do you not see that?

I don't think the committee would mirror the AP. If UNC wins, Stanford gets in. If Stanford also loses, Ohio State gets in. If Alabama, Clemson and Stanford lose, you'll see Clemson in above UNC the day after UNC beats them.

Which is what should happen. UNC would be held out this year if they went undefeated in my opinion, and I have no problem with this.

WHAT the faggot fuck are you talking about. Kansas and Iowa State are straight shit, so there goes the bottom. The Big 12 only looks good in your eyes because they benefit from only having 10 teams (no shitty nebraska, missouri, colorado, etc to fuck that shit up). Then again the SEC is literally Alabama, but the Pac is deep as hell and the Big 10 has 4 good teams and is pretty deep too. ACC 3 ships floating in a see of shit

Iowa could barely beat one of the shittiest Nebraska teams in the history of the franchise. If Armstrong didn't turn the ball over 11 times imagine how bad that would have been a blow out. I'm serious, it wasn't even Iowa playing defense it was just QB throwing at Iowa players. And even with coaching gaffs and turnovers Iowa only managed to beat Nebraska by 8.

Michigan State lost to Nebraska on a shitty call from the refs on a desperate last drive. It was also the best game Nebraska played all year. Iowa is going to get shredded, Vegas has never known dick about college ball.

That won't be enough for them. They have 0 wins over ranked opponents and beating Clemson won't erase the two FCS opponents and lack of a ranked win. Clemson will still be ahead of UNC if UNC beats them.

But it will just be one ranked win, and it doesn't change the disparity in their schedules. Clemson's wins over ND and FSU far outweigh one win over Clemson, and most of the rest of their opponents are the same teams. And UNC still has to overcome scheduling two FCS teams.

Based on everything the committee has done and said over the past two years, beating Clemson would not be enough for UNC to jump them.

You can argue about whether or not that should be the case, but it's what will happen. It might feel like bullshit to you, and maybe it is, but this is the way the committee looks at teams, and Clemson has looked far better than UNC using every measure they use

OU has absolutely dismanteld every single team Texas lost to that was in conference. Only truly close game was TCU because Mayfield went down.
