In a nutshell, I’m saying that I don’t think the SEC was that good this year. We are blindly suggesting that Alabama, Ole Miss, South Carolina are “better” than these ACC schools or Boise State?
No one is doubting that the SEC teams are more talented, but are they better teams? We saw Alabama and Ole Miss look like total shite against two SEC bottom feeders. We saw GT damn near beat Georgia. Damn near any season, it’s easy to argue the SEC team is better. In 2024, too many contenders had warts for all to see. I don’t care that OM and Bama are loaded with 4-5 star talent. As a team, they looked like garbage one too many times to get the benefit of the doubt this season.

I think that is more or less true around the nation this year. Oregon is not the strongest prohibitive title favorite team we've seen over the last decade.

This is EXACTLY why ooc needs to be re-evaluated. Currently, there is perceived sec/big 10 superiority. So, playing and potentially losing to big 12, ACC, or mtn west only diminishes those opinions. And then, the big 12 and sec don’t want to hurt each other’s chances do mutual truce of schedule benefits each.

Then he can kiss my arse too. Shouldn’t have lost to KY.
Do you believe that just because you extend the playoffs to 12 teams, you are going to get 12 teams that resumes that scream they belong in the playoffs?
Because it never even happened with 4 teams really.

South Carolina and Ole Miss have no mouthpiece. Their mouthpieces are smaller than FSUs last year.

Byrne isn’t wrong about it being rather useless to schedule tough out of conferences games in future seasons, though.
How would he know, the fact is he didn’t schedule a tough ooc schedule. So not sure how he’s planning to water it down any more that it already is.
But he’s actually wrong, the head of the CFP committee today said strength of schedule was a factor, and also how did you perform.
OU knocked Bama out of the playoffs. That was the sore thumb that stuck out.

No. The committee and human selection is part of the problem.

I agree. I posted something similar in another thread. In a sport where there’s over 60 P4 teams, there’s simply no way to have comparable and balanced schedules that make selections easy.

lol, no he isn’t wrong. It’s a very minor factor and really only applies to weaker conferences. No one in the sec or big10 will be scheduling with the ACC or big 12, etc within next couple of years. That’s how you keep them out.
