Help me understand the bigger picture....it wasnt OOC games that cost Bama ...it was the strength of the SEC. I get the CFP has their head up their butts and is " duhhhh how many wins?" But wouldn't beating P5 OOCs be beneficial? It gives them a loss Overall...what, the SEC liost.. 6..7 OOc games.
UF to Miami
LSU to USC
AM to ND
MSU to ASU and someone else
Vandy to Ga State
A cupcake is a guaranteed win and I get the CFP only cares about that, but given the competitive dogfight the SEC is , we ( the conf) need to give Ls to the other Conf - we can't do anything about our own conf (unless we expand and pad it with cupcakes and brag about Internet SoS)

That was 6 SEC teams in a row. Had been going on for several yrs before someone brought it to the AD's attention.

I think it’s reactive and risky to assume that just because they didn’t emphasize strength of schedule this year they might not do it in the future, and schedule with that assumption. We could easily get burned on the other extreme.
We should emphasize IMO taking care of business on the field which we didn’t do this year, especially at Norman.

I get it but Bamas OOc schedule was not that difficult this year. If they just win one of TN, Vandy or OK they’re in and n the seccg.

You’re missing the point. It’s not about this year, it’s about every year going forward. No reason to take the risk if you won’t be rewarded. Absolutely zero reason to play Ohio State, cancel the games

It wasn’t this year, but what about in a couple of years when Ohio State is on the schedule?

I think the selection committee is a bunch of Big 10 cock suckers who don’t know sheet about football. Also putting in 2 teams from the JV conference of the ACC instantly made everyone’s IQ watching that dumbass selection show drop 20 points. All of yall that agree with the committee’s decision can eat a whole bag of elephant dicks.
Sincerely,

Something like that

I think both teams will look to cancel it. Especially, after the committee basically said SOS doesn’t matter. Neither team wants to take that chance on a loss.

We can only go by what the committee does and they showed us every week that SOS was taking a back seat to wins and losses.

Obviously Alabama’s losses were conference games, so this wouldn’t have “helped” Alabama this year, but the point is that there’s really no reason to make your schedule more difficult than it has to be by adding big OOC games. The SEC is difficult enough, why beat your team up more by playing higher end OOC opponents?
the 60 IQ nimrods on the SECr think Bama will play the same 5-7 Wisconsin team from here on out

True. You’re damned if you do or damned if you don’t I guess, because nobody has a crystal ball to ensure metaphysical certitude. Byrne is the guy we employ to make these decisions, I will have faith in the path he chooses.

Not every year will you have a brand new head coach, new system with mismatched personnel, all your best players transfer out..
Sometimes youll have a pretty solid team like Georgia this year and a brutal conference schedule. Who in their right mind would risk a loss playing a helmet game when SOS doesnt matter at all?

This would have been nice, actually.

Wins over FSU and Wisconsin will look nice next year.
Alabama is about to play Michigan, Florida St and Wisconsin in their next 4 games. I love these big matchups, as long as Alabama wins them.

I get it, the CFP committee literally told us last week Miami was out because of SOS, and Ranked wins. They turn around and completely change their tune. I must be dense because I see absolutely no reason why we should ever play anyone worth a shite.

Only problem is we didn’t lose to an OOc team. We lost to the two teams on our schedule everyone had penciled in a win. That’s part of the problem now. These guys haven’t earned shite and they think they can just roll their helmets in the field and teams quit.
UGA had one of the most difficult schedules in the nation and was one bullshite penalty away from losing to Georgia Tech, which would have marked them with 3 losses on the season. I get Tech is OOC but the point is it's extremely difficult to go through a season unscathed when you don't have a SOS that's ranked 60-100 and are getting physically beat to shite every week.
Had we pulled off a win against Oklahoma and the refs not fricked Tech, UGA would have been knocked out of the playoffs despite everyone knowing they're a far better team than half the slap nuts in the top 12.
The ones who didn't earn it are the ones who haven't even beaten a single ranked opponent.

Which is why I suggested … and people disagreed which is fine … it might be dangerous to assume what they’re going to do moving forward.

Oh bet the house they will emphasize it if it ever came down to who gets in between an undefeated Bama with no top 25 wins or a Purdue with 2 unranked losses but 3 top 25 wins...
