Care to explain WTH that even means? It’s like “better” is somehow not deserving??


Sure, think of it this way.

LSU is a better team than Mizzou but Mizzou is more deserving of a NY6 bowl.

Don't worry about convincing all these butt hurt fools. They know in their souls that Bama is about to lift another trophy and it's killing them.

Why are SEC fans (particularly LSU fans) melting so hard if the committee got it right, by your admission?
Because most don't agree and Bama fans are melting over that. They want everyone to believe they are as good as they think they are. Plus they don't like the fact they look like they got in for biased reason and not from what they did (even though the Chairman admitted this).

How many points better was Bama than Auburn and Arkansas?


Just enough to wreck each of their fanbases.

The close games, the “we could have won” games, hurt so much worse don’t they?

Nope. I expected to lose. Bama sucked enough for recruits to buy into Freeze. So thanks.

But proves Vegas doesn't know anything. They are at their worst in the postseason.

The National Championship game was played this past weekend. Alabama vs. Georgia; close game, Alabama won. There is no way to fix this.
Maybe get rid of the league championship game; whoever is ranked the highest is the conference champ - congrats. Then take the top 8 teams and have the playoffs. It would be fairer than the current system. There is no way that Georgia is not in the top 4; they deserve a shot at the National title.

Typical Bama fan. On field results don’t matter.

I also love how Bama fans act like it’s a foregone conclusion that they will beat Texas.

Neither has the SEC champion. Enjoy your game with mighty FSU. Sorry about the 3 peat.

In response to: Which is it? Is Florida State one of the 4 best teams or are they 14-point underdogs to the SEC Runner-Up?

Both things can't be true.

Amen, I will trust Vegas over the "Top-25 system any day".

My statement was true though. FSU’s SOS sunk them.

People keep talking about “muh undefeated P5 team” as if the P5 conferences are equal or as if being P5 is somehow sacrosanct. They are not and it is not. When your SOS is closer to G5 teams than to the top contenders (as is the case with FSU versus Bama and Texas) then “muh undefeated P5 team” doesn’t carry as much weight as you folks apparently think it should.

This supposed "melt" is being WAY overblown. And even some of that is simply people trolling Alabama posters. Much like Alabama posters were trolling LSU fans in regards to Jayden winning the Heisman. Those types of things go both ways.


If you say so. Allow me to rephrase. Why are so many incredibly emotional and seemingly vested LSU fans starting so many threads saying the CFP was rigged? You just admitted the CFP got it right, so why are the other LSU fans losing their shite?

This is really rich coming from a Bama fan. The only reason you people think y’all deserve a playoff spot is “because we’re Bama”.

Get the frick out of here.

I wonder how Alabama would have fared against Florida State's schedule? I wonder how Florida State would have fared against Alabama's schedule? Perhaps the P5 conference schedules are equal. I mean, #5, #55. Basically 5s in both.

Based on the logic used by some on the SEC Rant, #17 SMU went 10-2 should be ranked ahead of #13 LSU who went 9-3. After all, SMU won their conference and won their conference championship game with a back up quarterback. They went 10-2 while LSU went 9-3 and didn't win their conference and SMU "did everything the committee asked of them" but they're relegated to playing an unranked 6-6 Boston College in a much lesser bowl game while LSU gets to play in a more prestigious bowl.

Where's the outrage for SMU?
