Keep telling yourself that and how Texas is better where they are while Tech gets a bye and TCU and Texas are playing in bowl games.
Is it soooo funny how Texas fans have embraced the very thing they laughed about just a few years ago, it is almost .....Aggie like.
True, great game, I don't remember TCU's titles, but we do have them and they both mean about as much right now.
I fully understand Texas is a brand and TCU isn't.
I fully understand that TCU at some point will once AGAIN be left behind while Texas is part of whatever next iteration we get in college football.
I also know all change isn't good and what we have now in college football isn't good, the quality of play is getting worse, and that the only group that is going to truly benefit from where this game is headed is the networks, some conference parasites, and Jimmy Sexton.
Nice answer to a simple question.
Who is the great team in the SEC?
With all that talent, all those resources, all those recruiting classes there has to be one right?
Very well, that was right after we got chosen to play that game right?
Oh wait, we had to find a way to beat a Harbaugh coached team, run up a ton of yards on a defense with NFL talent and a NFL DC, and actually had 2 pick 6's off and NFL quarterback.
Problem was we shot our wad that an 18 year old sailor in Manilla, but we can say we won a semi-final game in the CFP.
Do you remember the last time Texas played one of those had that played out?
If you truly think that is going to bother me you are as off base has Herbstreit trying to sell us Bama has a chance.
Who is the great team in the SEC?
Maybe UGA, but do you trust Stockton and that offense?
The Ags? Ole Miss? OU?
The funniest part about this season has been while this site is more than happy to tell everyone else how bad their conference sucks, they forgot to take a damn good look at the SEC and once again there just isn't a great team.
Holy shit, I have been reading for the last hour or so how bad the football is in the Big 12 and with just over 2 minutes to go in the 3rd quarter the team UP by 21 points in the SEC title game has 13 first downs>
This is a world class rock fight right here except only one team is picking and throwing as Bama has 4 1st downs after 45 minutes of football.
Not an issue as De Boer is known as a defensive minded coach right?
Maybe so, I am so glad after that blow out win by Tech that showed how the Big 12 was a one team conference the SEC stepped up and gave us a championship game that truly shows the depth of top tier teams.
Oh, wait, damn shame despite how much ESPN wants to sell us on how plucky and clutch Stockton is as a quarterback he can't consistently make throws down the field or the Bama UGA game would be much uglier than the one side rock fight is in right now.
How much did any of those companies pay to buy the rights to the CFP?
How much input did they have in selecting the committee?
None of those other groups matter in any of this and I find it funny that people still haven't caught onto this charade.
You should never had an odd number of teams in your conference.
Completely fucks up scheduling and a disaster for the other sports if they are in the same competitive conference.
You mean the same Mississippi State team that had Texas down late until they stupidly punted it deep and then lost in OT?
You are right, what type of play-off caliber team could possibly struggle in Starkeville?
True, but one the teams playing in the SEC championship game got the shit beat out of them by a 5-7 Florida State team and yet somehow that team went into Athens and beat UGA.
Then there is OU who is complete dogshit on offense and the Big 12 title game is damn near and NFL play off game compared to the ACC title game.
This is what happens when you have a group of people hired by a network who do a weekly realty show to decide who gets to play for the P5 football title even though every other level of NCAA football has been using a different method effectively to decide their champions.
Fuck the networks.
Maybe just a writer who is only working on that project at the time and not doing 5 things at once which explains why after a few scripts things go to completely shit in his shows
If you are McLaren, do you ask Oscar to act as the rearguard for Lando?
Tough track to pass on and if those two create a DRS train between them I am not sure anyone can get past them which gives Lando the title if they don't fuck up the pit stops, race strategy, or car set up.
True, but if Charles being ahead of Lewis still has him in an uncompetitive shit box of a car that means both things are true.
Time for Lewis to retire and time for Ferrari to try to be something more than a brand.
March Madness wasn't shit until unorganized gambling, i.e, the office pools, started to become more and more popular.
Very similar to how fantasy football has caused the popularity of the NFL to explode and bring in new viewers.
All I know is McLaren is praying that whatever happens this weekend that Oscar doesn't end up a certain amount of points behind Lando in second place in the drivers total so they don't have to go through the off season talking about Papaya rules and the switch over a fucked up pit stop.
Not a baseball talent expert, but shouldn't a 25 year be better than most of the players in single A?
This reminds me of the 15 year old 7th grader dominating.
Funny thing is, any level of football I have been involved with or watched has always struggled with the issue of unequal strength of schedules and the bitching that one school/team has faced a more difficult regular season schedule and another has benefitted from an easier schedule argument.
No league and level of sport does more to try to mitigate levels of competition be it through the draft process, hard salary cap, and weighted scheduling than the NFL and yet we still see the same arguments. Not to the same extreme as at the lower levels, but it is always going to be there so whatever system you employ stop trying to address this issue.
No one forced the SEC to load up on teams, they did it because of money and the perceived advantages and yet this time of year we hear the argument about how difficult it is playing in the SEC. Deal with it.
No guaranteed bids outside of conference winners simply because if you don't then why play the regular season.
I do like the FCS model of playing most of the games on campus to award the better teams and truthfully I think any number outside of 16 is too many rounds.
Whatever model is developed should only be implemented if there is no committee and there is no weekly fucking show that talks about the hypothetical rankings that really don't matter.
