Last year the SEC was down, and OMG the SEC sucks at their bowls.
This year the rest of the country is down, and OMG the SEC is beating up on sucky teams.

Truth is we just can't duck the criticism - it's coming no matter what. So obvious in that most of us could write the media's stuff for them and be 97% accurate.

Last year was the opposite and the conference caught hell for losing. Let's just enjoy the perception for now.

Yeah, because SEC fans don't do the same thing. Remember all the excuses when bama lost to OU in the sugar bowl? Bama had no interest in that game

We lost on both lines of scrimmage, pretty simple.

Ole Miss, Tennessee and LSU may very well have beaten Oklahoma, Michigan State and Notre Dame had they been paired against those higher ranked teams
And those games would have been much better to watch. Michigan State got brutalized in the second half. I think it shows that Bama was head and shoulders better. The depth they have on the defensive line is ridiculous. But Clemson offers something that Sparty doesn't. An athletic quarterback. He at least brings a different look to Alabama. He's having a Jameis Winston type season from 2013. But Watson is much more mobile than Winston. I think Ole Miss/Michigan State or Ole Miss/Ohio State would have been good. Or Ole Miss/Notre Dame. I hate the auto tie-ins. And to those who claimed the Big Ten was terrible, I think most are happy with a .500 record in that conference. From where they were three years ago, that's light years ahead.

blowouts showed how stron
That's sort of the point. There would not have been blowouts if the matchups were better. Michigan-Tennessee would have been a better game, but slight advantage to Miss Again. Florida-N'Western, maybe a push in that game. Ole Miss-TCU would have been epic (rematch of last year), Oregon-LSU in the Alamo Bowl, Penn State should have been paired up against UCLA. Although the Bruins couldn't beat a five win team. Penn State may have whipped them. Georgia-Indiana would have been fun to watch. IU can score with anyone. But they'd give up 600 yards.

I'd like the committee to be able to match teams without tie-ins. Period. I'd like the Rose Bowl to stop being so snotty about always having the Big Sixteen and the Pac Twelve unless they host a semi-final. We'd get some fantastic matchups around the country.
