Disappointed with the outcome and felt we were one of the 12 best teams in the country. We had an extremely challenging schedule and recognize there were two games in particular that we did not perform as well as we should have.
We have said that we would need to see how strength of schedule would be evaluated by the CFP. With this outcome, we will need to asses how many P4 non-conference games make sense in the future to put us in the best position to participate in the CFP. That is not good for college football.
With that said, we do not need to hang our heads and now need to finish this season strong. We have a great group of young men who have led us with Coach DeBoer through the last year and we look forward to our opportunity in the

I think it’s fair to say that scheduling difficult OOC games doesn’t really matter anymore. Just win as many games as you can, even if your OOC schedule is weak. Obviously that wouldn’t have helped Bama this year, but for the future there’s no reason to make the schedule more difficult than it needs to be.

Yep.
I'd have no problem playing 5 or 6 patsies every year.

He’s right. Non-conference games died today. I’m really curious to hear from other SEC ADs.

Is what he’s saying false? The SEC is tough enough, why beat your team up by playing big OOC opponents if it won’t really add much benefit in the end?

So i dont understand this... Alabama's losses were all in conference, just 2 of them were very bad losses to bad teams that are sec teams
They are threatening to schedule even softer opponents than western Kentucky since they did not make the playoffs?

All he needed to say was, "the REC check bounced."

Lmao…
Does every team need their AD to make a statement. Can’t wait for Woody to release some word salad.
Byrne is a baby back bitch.

Western Kentucky is in a P4 conference?

We know the losses were in conference. The point is that there’s really no reason to schedule any potentially difficult out of conference games (Alabama has OOC games against Wisconsin, Florida State, Ohio State, Oklahoma State among others in the next few seasons) because those probably won’t provide any benefit to you. The SEC is tough enough, why get your team beat up with additional difficult games?

You lost to zero P4 non-conference opponents. Maybe try not losing to the mediocre teams in conference if you want a chance at competing for the NC.

That OOC murderers row of WKU, a sub .500 Wisconsin, USF and Mercer did not keep them out of the playoffs.

Don't lose to Vandy next time.

Your out of conference schedule didn’t mean shite. You lost to 2 of the worst teams on the schedule it just happen to be conference opponents. Beat either of them and you are in.
