It's obvious that OOC means nothing to the CFP committee. Georgia was comfortably #1 with an OOC schedule of UT Martin, Ball State, UAB, and Georgia Tech. Alabama is very likely to be left out as punishment for losing to Texas. Starting in 2025, Bama is slated to play two major OOC opponents each year until 2034.

These will be exciting games and it will be interesting to see the Tide in so many historic venues around the country. But the committee is making clear that tough OOC games can only put you at a disadvantage. Obviously, getting into the playoff will be much easier in the future. Even so, might be time to reconsider.

I think it's time to reconsider breaking camp without knowing who your QB is, and being 100% behind that player.

I think it's time to reconsider letting players like Darian Dalcourt start on the OL simply because he has been around for 12 years.

I think it's time to play the best player at every position from the first game of the year to the last.

As a season ticket holder, and someone who would like to travel to these campuses to watch us play, I would like to keep the games.

I get the argument, and don’t really have a counter. But, playing those weak teams is boring as hell. We get 12 weeks of regular season football. I prefer 10 of those be against P5 or equivalent teams

Doesn't even really matter. Being top 12 probably won't be that hard.

It will be harder than you think because all other conferences won't be as tough as the SEC, especially adding texas and oklahoma.
There's a reason a lot of good teams did not want to join the SEC.

If Lville and Iowa are top 15 teams

Then Bama's second string would make it compared to what I watched in the Acc and Big 10 games tonight
