Why does everyone not complain about Oklahoma’s shitty schedule?



Because OU hasn't won a championship since 2000.

And they just got off a home-home with Ohio State.

They stress the fact that SOS is very important and that they compare resumes religiously.


Alabama's SOS rank is higher than LSU's according to Colley.

By 30 spots.

You can't find a single statement from me about not believing LSU is a good team, but the season will reveal the Miami win as not being as impressive as it feels right now. UofL and Miami are similar.

the end of the season bama will have played a schedule equal to or similar to LSU's schedule.



Only if you count the postseason. That's kind of the point you know?

Alabama’s schedule isn’t great but it’s still much better then Clemson’s.

Yes. Alabama benefits from Tennessee being bad and Georgia is currently rotated onto LSU's schedule and off of Bama's, but it's ridiculous to suggest that any team playing in the SEC West doesn't have a solid schedule.

Throw stones at Clemson's schedule or Washington's, but any team playing in the SEC has plenty of tests to prove they belong in the playoff if they finish with 0 or 1 loss.

Drives me crazy when the same idiots that tout teams like Washington primarily because there is no other quality teams in their conference, criticize SEac teams for playing pasties ooc. for example, LSU for playing SE LA. Never mind we have Muami, Auburn, Georgia, Alabama, MSU, Texas AM on the slate.

Bama worked the interim SEC schedule like a drunk bitch and scheduled the weakest two SEC east teams every year while sticking LSU with what was thought to be the strongest SEC East teams. They did this shite for 5 years. The schedule maker was a bama alum native of Tuscaloosa, and former REC member. ( its all on the rant)

They always play a OOC team with a name that sucks. While everyone else in the West plays someone that is supposed to be good.

In bama second chance championship over LSU, LSU beat the PAC ten champion, the Big 12 champions, and half a dozen other ranked teams including bama in Tuscaloosa.

Bama was on cruise control that whole decade in 90% of their games.

Once we go to 8 team playoffs watch what happens to bama. They will still be good but the dominance will be over. ( Barely got though three ranked games ( LSU Miss State Auburn) last year without losing 2 of 3.) and yes the injuries are what happens when you play tough teams back to back to back. They back doored it into the title because of Auburn injuries caused by big game stretch.

Take away the bullshite games, sec refs, and month to prepare and they are just as beatable as any other good team.

I would like to do away with week off before LSU game and let bama play Miss State,LSU, Auburn, and Georgia all back to back. You go 4-0 and you deserve to be in playoffs

2011 and 2017 in both of those seasons what happened on the field and the accomplishments of the teams should have weighed more than the "eye test" which is code for what in the best interest financially of the CFP (formally BCS).


Really?

So in 2011, Oklahoma State who lost to unranked Iowa State was more deserving than BAMA who lost to the #1 team by 3 points?

No.

So in 2017, Ohio State who had two blow out losses, including one to Iowa by more than 30 points, was more deserving than BAMA who lost to a top 10 team on the road in a rivalry game?

No.

No matter how many times you guys regurgitate this garbage it's not going to become true. The playoff committee's job is to put "the best four teams in the college football playoff", and the BCS formula was designed to do the same thing. That's exactly what both did in 2011 and 2017 and that was proven on the field.

Stop whining.
