    Like always, baseball guy spouting nonsense. First of all, having the most draft picks, he just admitted that Ohio State deserved to be the #1 seed last year, because they had the most draft picks. Yet he goes on to say that Ohio State should've had a road game in the playoffs :D
    Having the most conference drafts picks, doesn't mean they had the best teams. And the SEC clearly did not have the best teams last year. The BIG TEN also had the most playoff teams last year.
    SOS is an absolute joke. Look at the pre season rankings. There is no way Oklahoma should be ranked, let alone in the top 20. They had a losing record last year, and the experts predict that they might have another losing season this year, and will be lucky to make a bowl game. But yet all the SEC homies wanted them ranked, so the other SEC teams can have higher SOS rankings.

    OSU had 14, Georgia had 13, Texas had 12. Oregon had 10, Olae Miss had 8, LSU, Bama FL and Michigan had 7. 18 picks in the first round were from the SEC and 13 in the 2nd round.

    Georgia was the best team last year and lost their QB and the best punter in the country in the SEC title game playing the extra game OSU didnt have to play. They had a guy starting his first game ever in the playoffs and still almost won.

    SOS Tennessee would have been the home team in the first round. Just be happy that the most egregious holding of all time wasnt called on the OSU RT on third and long that would have ended the drive that resulted in a TD.

    When you play harder schedules guys get hurt and worn down. The whole point of implementing SOS if the committee does it as instructed is that losing to a top team wont hurt you much, beating a bad team like Perdue wont help you much, and losing to an average or bad team will significantly hurt your rankings

    Which is a coin flip for a first start ever as a home game. Anything 3 or under means its a coin flip

    Once again basebal guy, NO sec teams did not play harder schedules. They only played 8 conference games compared to 9 conference games in the BIG TEN and BIG 12.

    And no Georgia was not the best team last year. Notre Dame would've beaten them with or without Beck. Georgia just barely beat 4-8 Kentucky by one point, and beat a bad Georgia tech team by 2 points. Georgia got trounced by ole miss. They were barely a top ten team.

    Lol the B!G is a 4 team league where more than half the teams sucked last year and the Big 12 sucked last year. Yes Georgia was the best team that lost their QB and and the best punter in the league that could flip the field by 70+ yards in the SEC championship.

    Georgia would have won if they just didnt have to play their conference championship like OSU didnt have too and you can keep saying whatever you want but the fact of the matter is is SOS was part of it like its supposed to be going forward than the playoff looks much different

    SOS only means something prior to the first game and after the season. That's when SEC homers talk about how good their conference is and why SEC teams should be in the playoffs - - - "But, but, but look at who we played!!"

    SOR only seems to matter, well, it really doesn't matter at all since it changes as the games get played. It might figure into the rankings but once a team's schedule is set in stone all that remains is to JUST WIN BABY and everything will take care of itself.

    Case in point, last season...............................Ohio State played all the weak Big 10 schools --- SOS --- and then steamrolled everyone in the playoffs to a Championship. Alabama struggled to a 5-3/9-4 season record --- SOR --- and complained when they were left out of the playoff because their SOS was so rugged.

    Beat who's on your schedule and stop whining.

    Georgia was not a great team with or without Beck if you take off your sec goggles. But it doesn't really matter anyway, because injuries is part of the game. Like Florida State going undefeated two years ago, and then losing their QB to injury. That's the name of the game. The BIG TEN has had the best bowl record the last two years and went 5-1 against the SEC in bowl games last year. The sec also did not do well in the playoffs last year. Seems you still haven't learned anything because you keep spouting nonsense.

Seems you still haven't learned anything because you keep spouting nonsense.

    You still seem to not understand how opt outs impact bowl games and how teams not in the playoffs have the most of them. Then you look at the draft and see where the most came from. Bowl games outside of the playoffs dont mean anything anymore which is why the playoffs are being expanded.

    You also seem to forget that every playoff game in the first round the road team lost. Every team with a bye lost the next round. Its true injuries are part of the game and from tough schedules the SEC teams were dealing with more of them in the playoffs including Georgia and Texas. Georgia used less than half of their playbook with a first time starter at QB. Beck wasnt great by any means last year but still better than someone making their first ever start.

    You do know the B!G has proposed a 24 or 28 team playoff as well moving forward which is just to many. We dont need to see a service academy getting blown out and both the SEC and B!G are getting sick of the G5 teams forcing their way into it outvoting them and ND having a singular vote like theyre their own conference.

    It’s just an awful lot of excuses to keep track of but yeah. There there. The SEC is the best.
