Heather Dinich is what Finebaum looks like after transitioning.

I think hes saying why not take the best teams instead of making us leave the NCAA? I think the money grab and paying players has made it all a lost cause. Its a joke, that I refuse to watch. These players have no one they are loyal unto, so I soon see most fans as saying to hell with it.
Might as well watch the NFL, these guys do not represent any college,

It’s difficult to find someone less impressive than Sankey as a commissioner.
I feel like Sankey has been worked by the big 10 at every corner.

I understand where you’re coming from and where Sankey is coming from, but McMurphy’s analogy is idiotic.
The NFL isn’t competing with the CFL for playoff spots. That’s the main difference.

Exactly. It was a stupid comparison, but that shouldn't be surprising coming from him.

How so? Not really arguing, just curious about actual examples.

I think y’all are missing the point. Others - primarily the Big10 and ESPN - are trying to convince the SEC to go to 9-game conference schedules. This isn’t about “we’re the best”… it’s negotiating for the CFP framework and specifically 9-game conference schedules and automatic qualifiers.
It’s pretty clear to me Sankey is saying… “wait a minute, we already have the toughest conference schedules and toughest SOS at 8 games, why would we go to 9-game schedules?”
And Sankey is right. Why would the conference that already as-is has the strongest strength of schedules make their schedules harder? I’m sure the SEC will inevitably do it at some point, but the SEC should absolutely use going from 8 to 9 as leverage as they work to adopt a new CFP framework.

THIS was the biggest bullshite they ever pulled, by pretending that each conference was weighted the same and somehow deserved an equal share.
It was clearly intended to be a participation trophy added so that the other conferences would get a piece of the financial pie and finally "be in the playoffs."
And then the committee listened to the people who don't know ball and actually bought into the idea that everyone was equal regardless of metrics or SOS, started comparing overall records, and blew it up spectacularly on their first go-round.

His problem is people are waking up to this “strength of schedule” garbage. It’s all based on preseason polls that are jokes. Last year my team beat a top 10 ranked team in the first game of the season. And we celebrated like we had arrived. That team ended up going 2-10.
If you were to rank the ACC teams in the preseason polls you would see our SOS shoot up as well. It’s all a manipulation. The playoffs showed the SEC is no different than the other conferences - a few top tier teams, a few bad teams, and the rest in the average middle. It took UGA, a top tier SEC team 8 overtimes to beat a mid level ACC team. Then they lost to another ACC team in the playoffs while beating Texas in the SECCG. So is Texas on the level of a GT in reality?
The point is that the only reason the SEC has a higher SOS is because their 2-1 team in mid September is still ranked while a ACC team who is 2-1 is not ranked all because of preseason bias. Soon, the preseason polls will be out and they’ll be the usual teams and no one will really know anything. Is Penn State legit finally? Are Gunner and Klubnik both “that guy”? None of us. All I know is the playoff proved on the field that the SEC was no different than the other conferences.
