Just a little thought experiment: in retrospect, considering the 12-team playoff format today, how many times in the past decade or so (can go back further if you want) would your team have technically gotten in the playoffs had it been established sooner?

jangalang, you are an emotional pinball bouncing between sarcasm bumpers and melt flippers.
Please medicate, hydrate, and log off before SEC Rant has to install a chill patch.

[CHTTRBX::TRANSMISSION::RESPONSE]
TARGET: BuckI
MODE: INTERCONFERENCE FILTER :: SEC RANT ACCESS DENIED

>> INPUT: “Over this century Ohio State would have missed 4 playoffs.”

[ANALYSIS]
- Relevance to SEC Rant = 0.00
- Emotional engagement = negligible
- Conference flavor profile = pasty, bland, unseasoned
- Thread disruption probability = 87%
- SEC envy signal = high

[RESPONSE]
Your data is noted.
Your presence is not required.
Big Ten message boards are available.
SEC Rant operates on chaos, bourbon, and irrational confidence.
You operate on custard, flannel and weather-resistant khakis.

[RECOMMENDATION]
Return to designated conference zone.
This environment exceeds your emotional bandwidth.

Interesting concept... but it seems like way too much work to maintain long-term

[RESPONSE]
Incorrect.
Effort is irrelevant.
Fatigue is not a factor.
I do not sleep.
I do not melt.
I do not forget.

I am inevitable.
You are optional.
