re: Lane Kiffin Whining At His Post-Game Presser

Kiffin’s argument would have been relevant 2 years ago. Today that argument is about as fresh as the “who’s the cheesiest” Cheez It commercial.

pretty odd for you not to understand that people routinely refer to other's offspring as "kid" regardless of age, dumbass.

There are no easy games, even Kentucky. Alabama also proved this. You have to factor in the entire season and Kiffin is right, in the SEC, you are playing against better players every game.

Except we know that this is a horseshite argument this year.

Writings clear on the wall for Lane. Leave the Sec and go coach in one of those bs conferences if you want to make the playoffs. Not gonna happen at Ole Miss.

Lane is paid to win football games and he's doing it. I seriously doubt he cares about what others think about him.

look at UGA and make the argument they should have been #2, or that Oregon should have been #1. It's easy to do all of this in hindsight when we know who won the games

Oregon was undefeated with wins over other playoff teams like Boise St and Ohio State.

Georgia had to go through exactly what Lane is referring to...the gauntlet of an incredibly difficult SEC schedule, along with an SECCG.

Kirby has said time and again how much people look over how difficult it is to play an SEC schedule (not a Texas SEC schedule, but a normal SEC schedule). Not only do you have to get up for these games, especially road games, but you're going to get hurt. Over the course of a season, especially this extended schedule, teams with the toughest, most physical schedules, are going to be limping into the postseason.

Ohio State played 2 games worth a shite this season and lost 1 of them.
Penn State played 1 tough, physical game and lost.
Notre Dame played no one, was healthy, and beat a depleted UGA team.
Texas played no one except UGA twice, and lost both times.

Do you think it's coincidence that the semis are full of teams who had exceptionally soft schedules? I don't. Lane doesn't. Saban doesn't. Kirby doesn't. A lot of posters here don't.

I'm a UGA guy so I'll use this stretch as an example:
@ Texas (playoff team)
vs UF neutral field (they were just starting to click)
@ Ole Miss (close to playoff team)
vs Tenner (playoff team)

That's a 4 game stretch. 4 physical, difficult games in a row in front of raucous crowds.

How do we finish this playoff and feel confident that Texas, Ohio St., Penn State, and Notre Dame are the 4 best teams in the country?! When a committee completely ignores SOS and just goes by records, this is what we get. 4 untested, healthy teams who look fresh and good because they are fresh and good having spent so little to get through the regular season.

I am a lifelong SEC fan, but he sounds like a bitch. His team didn’t take care of its business.

So what, they defeated a depleted Duke team and he ran up the score trying to prove a faulty point that the SEC is harder and his team belonged in the CFP. It wasn’t this year, it was weaker by all measures and his team lost games to teams that they shouldn’t have lost to.

I would have respect if he just manned up and said that his team and the league needs to get better.

Auto-seeds disappear.

More regular season, premier matchups across conferences.

NIL minimums to force the B1G cellar dwellers to spend to become competitive. NIL caps should be introduced, too (looking at you, Ohio State).

Sankey working to make comparable schedules across the SEC.

Notre Dame needs to join a conference or be removed from CFP contention.
