    Youre talking about that

    Not sure how many times it needs to be typed that Miami should have been over them all year and the the SEC and B!G championship game teams were not going to get left out

    Its because ESPN doing EVERYTHING to sell Alabama over Notre Dame. 100% SEC BIAS.

    The Committee has penalized teams in the past when it comes to CCG's. Heck, even FSU got left out two years ago for winning their Championship game. Bama got trounced and they have 3 losses.

    Not even close.

    FSU was left out because their stud QB got hurt and they wouldnt be competitive in a 4 team playoff.

    People that know college football know ND should have never been ranked over Miami. People also know that going 1-1 against GA and making the SEC championship shouldnt punish you

    Totally untrue. In the past the committee has indeed punished teams for making the championship game. 2023 Georgia and 2017 Auburn are two examples. So yes, Bama should've been punished for just showing up.

    2023 FSU won every game they played, even with their backup QB. They shouldn't have been punished.

    FSU lost to Georgia by 60 the year they were left out theres no claim to that

    Thats only because Georgia played against their subs. All the FSU players sat out that game because they were pissed for getting robbed of a playoff spot. And rightfully so.

    The fact remains most of the country outside of the south believes that Bama is not a playoff team. It should've been Notre Dame.

    You realize GA had sit outs too and more players drafted to the NFL right?

    The fact remains is that you seem to just hate teams from the south and the majority of the college football world dont think they should be punished for the title game

    Notre Dame can join a conference if they want to have a gripe

    You just keep saying the same things over and over which mean the same response over and over. Join a conference pr beat A&M and Miami the two good teams they played

    Georgia had ZERO opt outs in that game, while FSU had 25 opt outs including 14 starters. FSU played without their top two quarterbacks, top two running backs, top two receivers, starting tight end, three starting defensive linemen, two of three starting linebackers and three starting defensive backs. They were down 29 scholarship players in all. Thats why FSU got trounced. No one from FSU wanted to play after they got snubbed from the CFP Committee after going unbeaten.

    ND would be favored over both Oklahoma and Alabama .

    The truth as told on the SEC Network is hard to ignore. The funny part is that we have a thread participant who knew the truth about Alabama back in September, forgot that truth in Oct/Nov and now in December is in denial.

    I think he will be reminded anew on December 19th.

  • bgrbgr Posts: 3,556 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Wisconsin is a dangerous team beating B1G powerhouses Illinois and Washington. Wisconsin would easily be top 3 in the CFP if they weren't run by the evil cabal of Disney and Netflix who only wants the SEC to win. Go Bucky!

    Wisconsin would beat Ohio by a wide margin of Smart to Dumb because Ohio is bad and Wisconsin is great.

    Wisconsin is better than Illinois - beat them head to head. Also beat Washington. I don't get why ND isn't in CFP but what I really don't get is why they didn't look closer at Wisconsin.

    @coolstanley said: WOW Michigan coach Sherrone Moore fired

    Never saw that coming but it raises some interesting questions.
    --- What does he know about the "SignGate" scandal??
    --- How long has Michigan known about this?? I feel it didn't just happen after the Ohio State game.
    --- If Michigan had beaten Ohio State would he still have been fired, assuming this was already known??

    It's hard to feel any sympathy for TTUN, whoever and whatever the hiring process is for the Head Coach of Football they don't get it right very often.

    The best TE in the country didnt play. It doesnt matter why they didnt play if youre argument is the players FSU was missing against GA

    Youre arguing against your self now if it doesnt matter that Bowers didnt play

    Cus they refuse to join a conference and just make weak schedules overall. Their two real games they lost including one at home. SoCal was an okay win and why would they get in over Miami who beat them head to head

    The two playoff teams they played they lost too

    Moore was turned over to police after the firing. Michigan is say its with cause from an inappropriate relationship with a staff member.

    Turned over to the police for what?

    Having an affair with a staffer is not a criminal offense, obviously as long as it was with an adult and consensual

    Not sure why but Michigan is saying they have cause to fire him and he was detained in Saline by the police and turned over to the Pittsfield Township police for further investigation.

    Nothings really come out yet what potential charges would be other than he has been/was detained
