    Maywood, Basebal21 answered the question. He said the SEC doesn't root for other SEC teams, and for most part I agree with him. For example, I'm assuming Bullsitter is a Bama fan. When LSU plays Auburn who does he root for, or does he just hope a sinkhole swallows up the stadium they are playing at? Does Bullsiter root for LSU if they are playing an ACC school? I'm just asking do you root for the B1G conference even if it is The Team up North, or Penn State when they played Clemson in bowl game? Fair question. Interest in all the games in or out of conference makes ALL OF US college football fans. I never root for FSU, but I will root for Clemson if they aren't playing Miami or Duke(wife's team). My reasons have to do with tailgating at these stadiums, plus in FL we don't root for other FL schools. Also, thinking like what is retarded? My post is well articulated, and far from retarded. I'm fairly knowledgeable about college football, and very well versed about the history of The University of Miami football program. Finally, I'm watching a replay of the Cotton Bowl. It's enjoyable watching your vaunted defense get pushed around on that last drive.

    I have personal or emotional reasons why I do/don’t like certain teams and overall I’m almost totally impartial for most games. The only reason I involve myself in the SEC and Big 10 thing is because everyone seems unwilling to admit things are different than they were 5 years ago. There’s been a power shift and only a retard can’t see it.

    Root, root, root for whoever, hate whoever. Just please stop posting stupid BS because you like one conference/team and hate another.
    Why go on and on about a team that’s eliminated?? Why say that Bowl games are meaningless while you keep updating about the latest scores??

    Maywood next time you go to McDonalds order your fries without salt. You have enough salt to season them yourself. I'm glad I'm not retarded according to you. The B1G was a better conference than the SEC this year. I won't speak for the other SEC supporters, but they might agree with you this year. Also, you like the words retard and retarded. You sound like the 9th graders I teach. Next, it's a message board. I posed a question. If you don't like the question scroll past. We have a moderator, and you are not the college football czar. He went to Moscow Tech. Why go on about a team that is eliminated? Maybe if you didn't resort to name calling, you wouldn't get people giving you the business about Ohio St losing. Rueben Bain said, "I don't take kindly to disrespect." Julian Sayin is still picking grass out of his teeth, because of Rueben Bain. If this thread is just about name calling, I can pick my ball up and go home like Notre Dame. Although, after the fact, Notre Dame should have been in over Bama. It pains me to say that as a Convict--- I mean Miami fan. Finally, we could talk about how crazy the transfer portal has been, or we can go back to trash talking.

    The B!G has 2 or 3 strong teams at the top but top to bottom the SEC was better. The B!G gets really bad really fast especially with PSU being a bad team this year

    Notre Dame should have been in over Bama. It pains me to say that as a Convict--- I mean Miami fan.

    ND shouldnt have been over Bama. The two real games ND played they lost and you shouldnt be punished for being in the SEC championship.

    The one is that Duke should have been in over JMU. The Sunbelt was flat out bad this year and JMU wasnt that good. The ACC tie breakers that put Duke in the championship game with the 4 way tie were kind of dumb, but they got there and they won the game.

    The committee seeding was kind of stupid too. Ole Miss had already killed Tulane and did so again and basically everyone knew JMU was a tomato can. They only had to put one G5 team in and they put two then set it up where the SEC teams had to take each other out

    Yeah the Bama, Notre Dame decision for me was the 28-7 score. Yes, getting punished for playing in the championship game would been bad too, so this was a tough decision for the committee. Bama was a bit lucky that Georgia didn't make that game 35 or 42-7 or that could have changed the committee's decision. These Conference championship games are another debate if we still need them. The ACC changed there crazy metrics for their tiebreaker, but that was a real mess. Was Duke better than JMU? Maybe? However, Duke had a head to head loss with Tulane. This playoff year is why this thing will go to 16 teams.

  • coolstanleycoolstanley Posts: 3,839 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Putting in Bama over ND was downright corrupt. How do you lose by 3 td's and not drop in the rankings? Not even a one spot drop. That's never happened before.
    Bama had no run game and ND had the best RB in the country. ND would have destroyed Bama.

    Coolstanley has a point with the 21 point game that wasn't close. Bama really went in the opposite direction at the end of the season. Yes, they had a really good stretch in the middle of the season, but yeah that last loss, plus the 14 point loss to FSU did it for me. Notre Dame should have in been in, but in my biased opinion that should have put Miami as the #9 seed playing Oklahoma. Bama jumping to #9 after beating Auburn shouldn't have happened. My two cents for what is worth.

This playoff year is why this thing will go to 16 teams.

    Bama beat GA and went 1-1 against them and also won a playoff game. ND lost to the 2 real teams they played. 5 conference camps have to get in and ND doesnt play in a conference so they have to be an at large bid. If theyd beaten Miami or A&M theyre in but they didnt and they did nothing with that schedule to suggest they should be in over Bama and you cant put them in over Miami when Miami beat them and they have the same record. ND has no playoff claim

    The SEC and B!G both made it very clear before this year they didnt want anyone playing in their conference championships to be punished for playing an extra game.

    Tulane had to be in from the 1 G5 team having to make it with the format but was still weird to set it up for a rematch with Ole Miss who had already beat them by 40+ that season.

    What they didnt have to do though was put a second G5 team in as the conference champions. Would Duke have beaten Oregon probably not but would have at least had a chance. JMUs only chance was Moore being a turnover machine which he kinda of was and they still got blown out.

    The Sun Belt was just flat out bad which is the conference JMU won. Teams like Southern Miss and App State which are usually solid were bad this year so were the Ragin Cajuns. It was just a flat out bad conference and theres a 0 percent chance that JMU was one of the best 12 teams in the country or that they would have won the ACC.

    I do look forward to it going to 16 teams and I do hope the SEC and B!G stand firm that they want the G5 auto bid removed. The Big 12 and ACC will follow whatever they do if they throw their power around

    I dont care what conference a team is from. If you lose your conference title game by 21 points, you deserve to drop in the rankings. Bama did not drop a single spot which proves the system is rigged,

    I have been a proponent of expanding to 16 teams but the way those teams are selected, by poll or committee, is biased and flawed. The current format with 12 teams selected as it was makes me want to go back to 4.

    Teams should need to earn their way into a National Championship tournament by winning something.

    Seems every year the committee gets worse and worse. Instead of picking the best teams, they pick the best sec teams over other teams that are better, and more deserving. Yes we need a new system.

    Its funny the guy who thinks teams like Perdue are important games accuses others of conference bias.

    Everything stated was factual and the only reason anything thinks ND should be in over Bama is because the committee screwed up keeping them ranked so high when they lost their two real games and had to put Miami in of ND.

    Again having to repeat myself. The format required it. If you want to say Bama should have been 10 and Miami 9 whatever fine.

    Bama was a top 10 team who had previously beaten Georgia this season.

    Miami had to be in over ND and Tulane had to be in as the G5 team.

    Another conference champion had to be in and they made the stupid decision of JMU over the ACC champ

    They didnt punish them at all. OSU went from 1 to 2 after losing to 2. You cant say theyre 1 when they just lost head to head.

    If they were actually to be punished they would have fallen to at least 6 or 7

    Neither team was in the playoffs unless they won their conference. Neither BYU or UVA was punished. UVA wasnt even close to top 12 and BYU was kicked out of the playoffs for the G5 conference champions due to the 5 conference champions requirement.

    This really isnt complicated other than why JMU got in over Duke and why ND was so overrated all year

    With the present format and a 12 person committee voting for inclusion, doesn’t everyone understand the way it works?? If the committee wants a team in the playoff then they will be in regardless of the justification.
