Absolutely. I don’t think Sankey ever envisioned a scenario where the SEC gets less than 4 teams. Committee completely ignored SOS and put 4 B10 teams in, 2 ACC teams in a truly terrible conference whose best teams never played each other.

Half the field hasn’t won any game of significance. Why, with all the power, participate in a process designed to punish the conference for having a lot of really talented teams?

We're celebrating because for once we don't have to suffer through Bama worship by the TV types for an entire bowl/playoff season. It's mostly a feeling of relief.

In this case SMU will schedule FIU instead of BYU and end up with a 12-0 regular season

Then we aren't having this discussion because they'd be 4th instead of 8th when they lose to Clemson

Why stop there? Drop to 6 conference games, schedule 2 non conference games against weak ACC or B12 schools like Wake Forest or Cinci, then 4 cupcakes. You would still have a better SOS than ACC, B12, and most B10 teams.

We got three teams in. That’s not a blow. The conference had its worst year in a long time. We’ll bounce back.


Exactly. Bama doesn't get in for once and all of a sudden, it's the end of the world for the conference as a whole. Drama queens.

Remember when everyone said if we go to a 12 team playoff, Bama would never miss the playoffs. Pepperidge farm remembers.

What a prima-donna

Everything I said is fact based on the responses on TD.

Even you clearly didn’t read what I’d posted previously, none of which was specific to Bama being left out or you would understand how three SEC teams were just screwed over and how absent criteria changes the SEC is at a major disadvantage moving forward.

But despite that, LSU and Auburn fans are celebrating more right now than they did for any win all season.

Because they don’t care if their own teams suffer moving forward as long as Bama is out.

That’s a pretty impressive inferiority complex when you’re fine with something bad happening to you as long as it also happens to someone else you don’t like.

Same here. But ConChamp games should allow winning teams to get a ranking bump in the field of 16.

No, they established you can't lose to two 6-6 teams, one that finished 3-5 in the SEC and the other that finished 2-6, and expect to be rewarded with a CFP berth.

Your fanbase is so fricking entitled. About time you faced some consequences.

No more high profile matchups

So basically, let's make the regular season unwatchable.

All these 100k + seat stadiums in the SEC built so fans can watch their SEC powerhouse teams beat the shite out of teams like Middle Tennessee State. Awesome.

It's like people don't even like to watch quality football games.

Which just proves your lack of intelligence and understanding of the big picture. There will come a time when Alabama is no longer in consideration for anything and we still have this problem of schedule imbalance because the conferences are not built equally.

Nope, me and everyone else completely understood what your intent was.

(and still is)

It's why the games are played and the tee-shirts have any meaning... it's just sometimes the ball doesn't bounce your way.

I don’t care either way. I just think it will be 14 first and byes. That means two byes and this year we have how many?
