re: Statement from Alabama AD Greg Byrne

Lololol

Don’t lose to OU

Don’t lose to Vandy

Dumb fricks. If LSU had gotten WKU instead of USC LSU would’ve been just as qualified as those Bama pussies

Melt bitches, melt

So what was their difficult OOC game,this year the trip to 5-6 Whisky?

You lost to 3 conference opponents and the odds say if you lose it will be to conference opponents. In my opinion it’s actually the opposite. If y’all had played Ohio State or anyone with a pulse this year and beat them in y’all’s non conference schedule, guess what you would be in the playoff because of that extra win. But because yalls OOC schedule sucked donkey balls there was zero over coming losing to Vanderbilt an Oklahoma the way Alabama did. You can play Ohio State and play them close and lose and lose to another SEC team and make the playoffs every year with 2 losses. Lose to a good OOC team then lose to Vandy an Oklahoma and you not getting in regardless.

Do you expect me to believe that he would have made any fricking statement at all if bama made the 12? Don't be stupid. Nobody likes stupid.

That’s his friggin point. Why play USC. Alabama, Ole Miss, South Carolina and LSU would be favorites over SMU, IU, Boise and Clemson. Is this what what you want the playoffs to be?

Personally I think they should reduce the playoff to eight teams with four conference champ participants.

People who are talking about changing schedule strategies have lost the thread IMO. Because we're discussing the 10th through 12th ranked teams who are frankly not deserving of the opportunity to play for a championship anyway.

It is generally necessary to become better through a good schedule. I don't know if Georgia wins the SEC if they don't play real games against teams like Clemson and Tech.

I think looking at this year's top six seeds the trend is clearly the opposite of playing weak ooc schedules. That's not an accident even for the years where a top four team (conference champ) has a weak ooc slate. The outlier TCU type should get destroyed by the second or third round in the future.

Obviously his statement gets highlighted because he is asked since they got left out.

It wasn't a response to a question, it was in defense of his brand. Don't lose to 6-6 teams, play nobody OOC, and then bitch about the outcome.

This argument is funny as hell.

Everyone is talking about Alabama, but think about if Clemson had scheduled two Sun Belt teams instead of UGA and USCe. They’d probably be the 2 seed.

Yep, from now on LSU should play ULL, ULM, La. Tech, Nichols and Grambling every year. (Or alternate one if that is too many OOC games. It'd be good for the state...and well, who gives a shite.

I agree, but BAMA had some ugly losses and only have themselves to blame.

It seems like the committee is willing to give a university one mulligan to an unranked team.

Nobody really wants to see a three loss national champion if it can be helped.

Say goodbye to good matchups between OOC opponents. I fully expect a bunch of those to be cancelled that are already scheduled. Good for LSU because BK can’t win those anyway.
