So don't play a Conference Championship game...these games have become completely useless

2 of them were rematches

I would rather see PLAY-IN GAMES instead of CONFERENCE CHAMPIONSHIP GAMES

Alabama shouldn't have to beat Georgia TWICE in order to secure their status as regular season champs

Sorry, but the sport has changed, and now these games are useless

Let me let you in on a secret about tRant with their talk on this board, whether it’s predicting the playoffs or complaining about the refs: they want Bama to lose and lose out.

Is that what a playoff should be?


Should 2 g6 teams get in that play a schedule that any of the top 20 P4 teams would probably be undefeated. All the media has done is compare schedules of the top 12 in the last few rankings with who they played, who they beat, and who they lost to. Who has the better wins and who had the better loses. But we completely ignore that 2 g6 teams that basically play a HS schedule are getting an automatic berth this year.

I have no issue with Alabama being left out but please tell me if the playoff is about the best teams in the country playing for a NC why do we have two g6 teams in it.

Can’t be on the bubble and leave w fewer rushing yards on the year than you started.

I will always resent the way the 2011 season played out. So I do enjoy a certain degree of schadenfreude when Bama goes through machinations and difficulties in the post-season. We will always disagree on whether LSU should have had to beat Bama twice to win a National Championship. But we can agree that 21-0 was a thorough arse whipping. That was all on Les Miles and his lack of preparation. He literally thought he was going to win again 9-6 and game planned accordingly.

Bama didn’t just lose the SECCG they got prison raped in addition to having possibly the worst loss of any potential CFP team in the FSU game



But for 40 or so penalty yards against GA on their TD drive, they would have been shut out

It started last Tuesday when the committee put them at 9 after beating a bad Auburn team. We wouldn’t be having this conversation now, if they wouldn’t have done that.
Expansion to 16, remove the conf. Championship games, and remove the automatic bids.
Let’s geaux

It's so funny to me that this wasn't ever even a hint of consideration just 2 years ago, when UGA went from winning 30 games in a row and being wire to wire #1 that year but lost by 3 in the SECCG and was bounced in the palyoffs,


It’s funny to you that you don’t fathom that the playoffs changed drastically in those two years?

I’m not advocating for Bama, but you’re making an apples to oranges comparison here. 4 teams in vs 12 changes the criteria dramatically.

They didn't have to. They needed to beat Florida State or Oklahoma and they are easily in.

Now this is both hysterical and a level of hypocrisy that even the devil himself would give a wink and a nudge to, considering WHERE you’re posting it.

How is it any different than if they were in a game one in the playoffs and lost? they’re done for the season and have no trophy. At least they had an opportunity to earn a trophy in a game with sudden death implications. Ole miss and 8&4 have to win four more games for a trophy

We should not be penalized for playing the extra game. If we are, end the SECCG and we will see you in TTown next year.

I didn't hear that back in 2011. LSU played Bama twice. Hard to get up for a team you beat already a second time.
