“All of Alabamas losses came in conference play. Alabamas non conference schedule was one of the easiest in the country playing two Group of 5 schools, WKU and USF, one FCS school and one Power 4 team, the 5-7 Wisconsin badgers who finished 12th in the Big Ten.”

Byrne isn’t wrong about it being rather useless to schedule tough out of conferences games in future seasons, though.

Correct. Nothing in Byrne’s tweet is incorrect about needing to evaluate non-conference scheduling in the future.
But social media, much like this board, are ate up with Bama Derangement Syndrome and intentionally miss the point of what any Bama person has to say.

Community noted? Ouch.

I think what bothers most is that Alabama (and Byrne) feel like it’s their moral obligation to stand up to these bullies in the CFP. It’s laughable. Bama has received the benefit of the doubt MANY times, and suddenly the system is broken? The system has been broken for over a decade at minimum.
CFB doesn’t need Byrne to be some holier than thou crusader. Why not have Ole Miss and SCarolina mouthpieces speak out?
Funniest out of all of this is that I never would have dreamt the day that Bama was suddenly worried about scheduling tough teams OOC because a loss simply is too risky. Saban’s troops would have murdered some top 5 team in Jerry World in next season’s opener just to prove a point that he didn’t give a shite. It’s amazing how the mighty have fallen.

Where the hell have you been the past week? Lake Kiffin has spoken out. Beamer has spoken out. I don’t know about their ADs but Im sure they have too.
The ACC was speaking out last week about Miami.
Everybody deserves the right to speak up and defend their team.
But so many people completely hate Bama and overreact anytime someone from Bama tries to speak up for their position. Saban got shite constantly on this board anytime he tried to speak his opinion on something.

Did I miss where they were bitching today?
I’m not talking about campaigning, I’m talking about whining when all is said and done.

I have been quiet on here because we didn’t deserve to get in. But this community note is fricking dumb.

Ethos, pathos, and logos were good.
But the kairos was off.
He should make that point when they’re doing future schedules. Right after missing the playoff as a 3-loss team who lost to two bad opponents is horrible timing to get your point across.

Kiffin was tweeting today.
And anything said last week after Tuesday was not campaigning on behalf of Miami, South Carolina, or Ole Miss. They were out at the pont so you could say they were whining after it was said and done too.
Again, B.D.S. slants your perspective on things. You, as most do, see the script A and your brain gets triggered and you have to argue that anything the Bama person says is uniquely bad. It’s just weird.

No, it’s not the script A. It’s the SEC logo. Our conference isn’t worthy of the arrogance it had from 2006-12. Other teams have caught up, and “we” don’t want to admit it. We love criticizing the schedules of other schools, pretending they don’t have the same talent as our school, but we are also seeing people bitch about not wanting to schedule them anymore for fear of a loss.
The SEC is hypocritical and it’s a punk league at this point that sold its identity.
I don’t care to watch 6 SEC teams in the playoff.

Well I hope you are excited to watch 2 ACC teams go one and done in the 1st round.
I don’t totally disagree with you that some top teams in the B1G have caught up, but the SEC does have deeper talent everywhere (draft will bear this out as always does) and it is still a better league overall the the B1G. And both are leagues ahead of the ACC.

If Ole Miss plays like they did against Kentucky, they’d go one and done.
If Bama plays like they did against OU, they’d go one and done.
I’m not going to pretend those two teams are better because they have an SEC logo on the jersey. Are they more talented? Sure, but at some point they have to win the games to qualify. It’s like that in every sport.

I mean, I feel like the broad point he's making is correct given the committee's decision making this year. You 100% should not be scheduling anything other than buy bye weeks. He's not really talking about from the perspective of this year's schedule. He's looking at next year when they play FSU and Wisconsin plus some years ahead where they have 2 P4 opponents scheduled. Sure they're not great this year but any power conference team is a more credible threat to beat you than Kent State or worse. If all that matters is how many losses you've got then the most sensible strategy is to buy as many Ws as you can for the games you control on your schedule.

The irony is that you would make fun of anyone when you’re actually the retard. If you are in the sec and play 3 fcs schools and go 10-2, you are going to be ranked ahead of any sec school going 9-3. Even if 2 of their losses is Ohio state, Oregon

Okay, sure, the Big Ten has decided to join the pursuit. However, if you take into consideration that Notre Dame is a de facto ACC team, then the ACC got as essentially as many bids as the SEC despite being closer to the MWC in quality than the Big Ten or SEC.
That's a lot of bids handed out for playing teams from a conference where 3/4 of the participants are among the most mediocre to bad of the power conferences.
The ACC has never been further from the SEC in the last decade than they are right now and it is not getting better if you look at the recruiting rankings from the last two seasons. Their teams are getting suffocated out of existence by coexisting in the same regions as the Big Ten and/or SEC with half or less of the financial resources.
I think the Big-12 was a much better league in 2024 than the ACC but they only got 1 team in compared to the ACC's 2 plus an associate member.
Whatever system leads to these outcomes is just poorly designed.

Recruiting rankings mean nothing anymore. You have to check transfer rankings as well.
