So Alabama can get in.

Let the excuses begin

Go back to the BCS where the regular season mattered.

I always though they should make it bigger too. Only thing is that's putting a beating on the players. College has gone sour with the money. Too many worthless bowl games too. Not sure how to fix it.

Alabama doesn't need in anything after the mess they made last night, pitiful! Imagine what few good player's they have left will hit the transfer portal soon as they can. Hopefully the sorry coaching staff goes with them too.

I watched holding all night by ok's offensive line and it was never called, that touch down Ryan Williams caught and was called back was BS too but main reason they lost is they played like little girls all night!

Bama sucks!!!! Gets me in trouble sometimes but I tell it like it is. Their coach is awful. Why keep running your quarterback when opponents defensive line has one play. Stop the quarterback.

Only thing that I’ll say 2 REALLY BADCALLS stopped Bama come back.The illegal touching call that took away a 49 yard touch from bama was rigged. Google it. Tell me I’m wrong. Listen to the announcers. Ref didn’t throw a flag until 7 seconds after the touchdown. Guess powers to be buzzed down in his ear. Lol Once desperation set in milrose just started slinging and handed out turn overs. But they don’t deserve to play in the tampax bowl !!! Ugly on every side of the ball

But watching games yesterday who really does belong in there. ? Penn st looked bad against an ugly team. Indy showed who they really are. Ole miss is what it is. Nortre dame look good against army.

You're wrong.

I favor moving the minimum number of wins from 6 to 7. Might help alleviate the mediocre teams and boring games.

More in-state games of local interest can be added for teams no invite to major bowls.

Texas A&M. LSU, Bama, Ole Miss and for the most part Texas, none of them belong in the running for bowl games or the playoff system.

Texas A&M. LSU, Bama, Ole Miss and for the most part Texas, none of them belong in the running for bowl games or the playoff system.

You do know that 6 win rule doesn't apply to the big 10. They get in with 5.

EASY big 10 boys do your research before you speak ...........

They had to lower it one year not enough teams to fill vacancy. 41 bowls so hard to find 82 teams with enough wins.

Whoa, wait, what? You mean Alabama didn't win last night? I was just scrolling across the scores real fast looking for the score of the Army-Notre Dame game and I saw a 24-3 score for that game and thought Alabama just gut stomped another team. I either need to scroll slower or put my contacts in!!!

Alabama looked awful at Oklahoma; it was the first time the Crimson Tide have been held without a touchdown in a game since their 9-6 loss to LSU in 2011. Ole Miss didn’t look good, either, in its upset at Florida.

We’ve heard for the last two weeks from SEC apologists in the media that Alabama and Ole Miss were clearly better than teams like Penn State. Well, now Alabama and Ole Miss have losses to Vanderbilt, Oklahoma, Kentucky and Florida. At least they both have wins over Georgia, keeping them somewhat in the mix for an at-large bid.

Hard to beat other SEC teams nitty, give bama or ole miss penn state's schedule and lets see how they fair! Appears if you play no one like penn state you get ranked in the top 4, even though they escaped by one point to the mighty gopher's, lol.

IF i had a say in anything Bama wouldn't be in ANYTHING this year, they don't deserve it, tough schedule or not! Enjoy your watered down play off's this year! SEC beat each other to a pulp so you can keep most of them out now, got what you wanted, maybe Notre Dame can be a champion this year, lol.

So if SEC teams beat each other, it is because they are good. If Big Ten teams beat each other it is because they are bad. That's sound Southern logic

Penn State did not play their best yesterday, but a good team finds a way to win when they aren't playing their best. Minnesota played a good game, just like Oklahoma played a good game.

Its how it is it’s so tuff you only play eight conference games too you know while championship week is playing out and other confrence teams are playing for position they have Mercer UTEP and Umass to contend with.

Lawson went down last night, injury's keep piling up, have a skeletal SEC team to put up in the play off's so all of you high school yankee teams can look big and bad, lol. OK had probably more top player's out due to injury last night than any team ive seen, why the idiot's on Bama side look even worse than they normally would! Play off committee will twist it around so they get in the play off's so all of you can watch them take ANOTHER butt whupping one more time for the year.

Injuries, bad calls from the refs, poor coaching decisions, having to play each other 8 times while only getting to play 4 cup cakes, the SEC teams have it rough.

Don't leave out the Citadel Kace2.

If they’re having injuries that bad they need a better conditioning program.

To me the more teams there are in the tournement, the more subjectivity in the slating. Evidently the power conferences must have a "factor" or some base if you will that helps them. I don't know how things like conference strength, schedule strength etc. are factored in. When one watches football or any sport for that matter and we witness the missed calles, subjective calls etc. etc. I don't find it surprising at all that selection of the teams comes with all that subjectivity as well. There is certainly a lot of money to be made or these colleges would not travel from coast to coast to play games or join conferences that give them better opportunities to make money with their teams and programs. We mention colleges most of the times but there is a lot of similar strategies at the HS level or even younger. It is far, far different than when I was young but then if that is the way our culture is choosing to go we best get used to it.

Bryce

If they’re having injuries that bad they need a better conditioning program.

You are correct! But now if you get too tough on them they just hit the transfer portal.

Bryce the crap is already starting in HS as well, some HS players are now getting big money soon as they graduate to come to a certain school! Saw one kid is getting 250 k on graduation day! It's all out of hand and needs to be corrected soon as possible. Until then it's just a big mess. No idea how anyone can build a team if your constantly having to put a team together every year, gone are the days developing a kid for 2 years before he see's meaningful playing time on the field. Coach's have no clue who they are going to have on their roster from year to year. Why you will see alot of good coach's take the Saban route and retire.

Win you're in, better than the media picking the champs. At least if they have a team ranked a tad lower that would've ended their chances the old way, that team has a shot now.

J trap I saw a report some kid is a junior in high school and signed deal fir 8 million

jbyrd, who paid that to a high school kid?

Will a team need to win 3 games in these playoffs?

Old news BUt thats not only one getting big bucks.

Committee still twisting theirself into pretzel trying to get Bama in the play off's. Hopefully Auburn will knock them out this weekend, that crap team doesn't belong in but neither does Penn St. or Indiana!

LOL.

Penn St. remains in the 4 slot, having a flimsy schedule is the way to go in the future. First team they play in the play off's will roll over them and be a joke of a game. Lining up to look like a high school play off. Maybe Oh. state spent enough money to buy a championship this year.

4 of the better teams in what was known as the Pac 12 conference joined the Big10 this year and Penn State played and beat 3 of them, those Pac 12 schools found out how tough it is to win in the Big10 and now people think they are mediocre teams and not worthy opponents. Penn State beat a ranked Illinois team, and they beat Wisconsin which is usually a pretty good team. They beat West Virginia on the road and Minnesota probably played their best game all season and Penn State won. Penn State's only loss was to Ohio State and Penn State actually should have won that game. Now if you want to call that a weak schedule, so be it. But with the exception of the Ohio State game Penn State won the rest of their games to this point. Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi all lost to some inferior teams and you think they are more deserving,

I'm just glad we have intelligent people on the committee instead of some immature forum moderator

they ruined college football with the NIL nonsense and how easy it is to transfer year to year . . I forget who it was but I watched a game last Saturday and half the players played for a different school last year . . it used to be that you had to sit out a year if you transferred from one D1 school to another, not anymore

What is the record of the 3 "betterteams" Pac-12 Penn st beat this year Heck what is the record of ANY of the teams penn and Indiana has beaten...... I wouldn't list them if I was you LOL LOL LOL

Letting all these team join the Big 10 was ridiculous. It watered down the once prestigious conference.

Dunno much about that, but isn't a big 12 team leading the SEC?

Yes texas has played 1 ranked team so far. LOST !!!!!!

The more games involved, the more money to be scammed.

Imagine that . THE 2 at large SEC teams play each other if play offs started tomorrow. WHO PREDICTED THAT !!!! Fix is in. Oh st wants to loose the big 10 championship. If they win they go up against the SEC at at large winner.

Vanderbilt beat Alabama, lol, lol
Kentucky beat Georgia, lol, lol
Kentucky beat Ole Miss, lol,lol
Florida beat Ole Miss, lol, lol
Oklahoma beat Alabama, lol, lol

What are the records of those teams that beat Bama, Georgia and Ole Miss? lol, lol

Ohio State was the only team to beat Penn State.

You crybabies probably thought with the CFP going to 12 teams the SEC would have at least 5 or 6 teams in it, lol.

You crybabies probably thought with the CFP going to 12 teams the SEC would have at least 5 or 6 teams in it, lol.

That will NEVER happen cause they beat each other to crap, lose top player's willy nilly during season so are only a shell of their self by the end of season.

Give Penn State any of those schedules any of those SEC teams you listed had and let me know what they would be ranked right now! It wouldn't be #2 i can promise you that. Especially since the only team they have played is Oh. state and they got ran off the field then.

I guess you didn't watch the Ohio State Penn State game. Penn State did not get run off the field, Penn State should have won that game. You think the SEC is the only conference that beats each other up, that happens in most conferences, you think SEC teams are the only teams that lose top players to injuries, that happens to most teams, I admit the SEC is a powerful conference, but for you to say Penn State does not deserve to be in the playoffs is way off. If you think Ohio State ran Penn State off the field, what do you think Oklahoma did to Alabama?

Bama got smoked
But the power to be will make sure all the sec teams are in same bracket. They know where to put them to get those match ip

But several big ten guys kept saying when Bama list to a big 10 team by 7 it was a throttling, ran off the field ect.
Remind me how many points did oh st best penn st

I wasn't one that said Bama lost to a Big 10 team by 7 that they got smoked, I might say when they lost to Oklahoma they got smoked, lol, lol.

When you have more than two teams from a conference in the playoffs some of them have to be in the same bracket.

Agree. But the only 2 at large just so happens to be 8-9 ? Mmmm only 2 loss teams in it? They are ranked only 2 spots that can play each other !!?? Yeah right 2 loss teams 9-10 They play big 10 teams first round. Whoa look bad if that happened!!!
Remember I predicted this when you made a post before first kick off

That isn't final, lots can happen this last week. Lets wait and see what the actual bracket looks like. Texas might not win the conference championship and then a 2 loss SEC team will get a bye.

As i said, put penny state in the same schedule as the SEC teams you listed and tell me how many win's they have at this point in the season. Committee is comparing apples to oranges. I don't care if it's Big 10 teams or all SEC teams, whoever is the best team is who id like see get in. Why im going to gripe if they allow Bama back in, they don't deserve to be in anything, they suck! And i don't care that they are about to beat Auburn, far as im concerned their season ended in Ok.

Penn State would run the table. Actually that is something you would never get to know. What kind of fan doesn't back his own team? You seem to despise Alabama. I suppose if they don't make the playoffs and they go to a bowl game you won't even bother to watch them.

No body will lol

I'm a fan , and was very happy for 3 years, now it's very disappointing.
But I still back them, and watch them play.
That's what a true fan does.
Many years before , they were second , but I still followed them.

The amount of money, facility's, etc, etc, that bama has there's zero reason for them to lose to unranked teams. We were on top forever i know but still! Talented players all over the place and this new coach whom i really thought would do good here had no clue what it was going to be like coaching in the SEC! He's wayyyyyyyyy over his head and has a second rate staff for coach's around him.

Maybe next year he will have his type player's in and coach's worth a flip, i just wonder out of the good player's he has right now how many will hit the transfer portal? Player's don't come to Alabama to play in worthless bowl games! A whole other expectation down here than your high school teams up north.

Penn St. would probably look about like Auburn if they had a SEC schedule. Way over ranked and you will see once the play off's start, imagine they will be the first team eliminated.

I'd rather go back to the old days when there was no BCS or playoffs. Back then we settled who shoulda been national championships with fist fights like men, unlike the sissies in college football who refuse to play in a bowl game so that they don't get injured and don't make it in the NFL.

Penn St didn't score a single offensive TD against OSU. I'm not saying Alabama or Ole Miss are deserving of anything, but they're both better than Penn State. As long as you guys keep James Franklin you're always behind the 8 ball against top 15 teams. Numbers don't lie. He is what he is. All of those teams you listed earlier are 6-5 except for Kentucky, and PSU would be about that same mark with their schedules. Compare Florida's schedule to PSU or Indiana. There's no comparison. I hate Bama and Ole Miss, but they would be some of the last teams I would want to meet in a playoff scenario.

DeBoer will never have a better team at Bama than the one he has now. He has all of Saban's guys still on the roster. If they miss the playoffs then he's going to lose talent in his upcoming classes. He was given the keys to the Cadillac and he ran it into the ditch.

Tennessee and GA will not meet in the first round of the playoff. This week that's how it would be, but after the SECCG GA will either be a first round bye, or a 3 loss at large team most likely. Neither will play TN in the first round. Good thing about PSU getting a first round bye is that someone gets an easy game in the second round against them lol.

PSU will not get a first round bye unless a miracle happens. Michigan would have to beat Ohio State and then Penn State would have to bear Oregon. I don't think Michigan will beat Ohio State and if Penn State is as bad as you guys think they are they will never beat Oregon.

It's not that they are bad, it's like Oregon, who have they played? We don't have a clue if these teams are great or just so so teams like Bama. No way to decide when they don't play anyone. Bama is Jeckle and Hyde this year, beat good teams then turn right around lose to mediocre teams. You have to admit this has been the most messed up college football season you have seen.

Seems to me they beat Ohio State , so they've at least played a ranked team.

32- 31

Lets put it this way,
The SEC didn't have a team make it to the championship game last year, getting knocked out by these so called inferior conference teams. Don't underestimate them.

Yes, beat by a team that's most likely going to lose that title because of cheating. Is that what it takes for the B1G to win one? At least Harbaugh was smart enough to bail out before the hammer dropped.

Mi had 6 year seniors last year, how great are they this year? Seems Bama and Georgia were able to put up great teams year after year even though they lost their great players every year and in Bama's case it was a constant revolving door with coach's and staff, how many of Bama's coach's are now head coach's somewhere, even Oregon.

Oh state and Oregon are legit but outside those two, who else do you have?

Bama had the market cornered on top recruits for years too. Even had to sit out of bowl games for paying them if that other fella above wants to talk about cheating.

Texas is my guess to win it all this year, an SEC stepchild or Oregon, another stepchild that in years past didn't get the respect due to the conference they were in.

No one here cares about Alabama, even current Alabama fans are over their nonsense. Texas isn't going to win it all. They haven't proven they can beat anyone that's currently ranked. Their best win is against a 6-5 Michigan squad. They're smoke and mirrors. Lots of teams are going to get exposed in the playoffs, should be entertaining. Tomorrow may shuffle the deck big time as well.

Is Gawga Tech the best team in the sec? Looking pretty good right now.

My day would be made if GA lost

Georgia Tech isn't in the SEC. They are in the Atlantic Coast Conference - ACC.

Thanks CH, shows how much i know, lol.

Hang on Dawgs just got off the porch

Yes they did.

That Ga. game is the craziest game ive seen! Now they are all beat up and have a SEC Championship to play lol. I don't think TX will win it all, Oh state should, they paid for it! If they can't win a national this year they need to fire that vampire looking coach of theirs.

All you chest beaters should be glad Iowa won't be in the playoffs. They could beat any of those teams without trying. Like Nebraska 0 for 10 on 3rd downs, 5 1st downs, 160 some yards gained, still won 13 to 10.
