Ohio State fans deserved to put that out there. Especially with how Tennessee was acting in their building.
Wake Forest got beat 40-6 last year in their house against Ole Miss and then cancelled the home and home. They then play a 5-7 State team who shouldn’t have been there but was and acted like they did something.

I do think that “peaking” is a thing. A team can’t stay at full throttle the whole season. A big10 schedule allows for some easier weeks. A lot of them. The SEC not as much.
I just dont think this has been applicable for 2 seasons now. I dont think there is much of an arguement for saying Missouri this year was any better than a team like Washington. They have a weaker bottom of the conference but they also played 9 conference games as opposed to 8 for us. When we go to 9 I think we will have a genuine scheduling gap gripe. Especially since they are not requiring their teams to schedule P4 OOC.
I really want Sankey to get them to agree to a OOC agreement where we all get to play a B1G team in OOC. It would help get the rankings accurate and make it more clear on which teams are deserving for the playoffs. Just continuing to expand the playoffs is lazy and will lead to a lot of bad games.

SMU they were not in the SEC. Michigan is not in the SEC.. and if you think Ohio State Miami Florida State Oklahoma and USC hasn’t been cheating you’re blind.

You are bringing up SMU from the early 80s?
Everyone knows that the SEC was "spending" the most on their football programs in recent times. NIL has leveled the playing field and SEC fans can't understand why the bowl results are what they are now that everyone can openly pay players.

Maybe the average SEC team was spending more than the average ACC/B1G etc school, but the best teams in those conferences were also spending just as much money as the best teams in the SEC. OSU has had elite recruiting classes for decades, you seriously think guys went to play there just out of pure love of football?

That’s a good idea right there on the OOC

Would make both conferences a lot more money in TV negotiations too. No reason to not do it unless Sankey or the B1G are afraid. I think it would be pretty cool to get to play teams like Nebraska, Michigan, OSU etc outside of bowl/playoffs. Lot more fun than playing Western Kentucky.

NIL isn't what has eroded the SEC's advantage. Unlimited and unrestricted transfers is the culprit. The South is the center mass of talent in high school football. Sure, some kids will leave the region but most will stay reasonably close within the region. The restrictive nature of transferring allowed the SEC plus the handful of Big-12 (now in SEC) and ACC teams serious about football to hoard all that talent. Now these schools are getting their depth picked off and often these transfers do not stay in their region because the decision-making about school choice for someone at 20 is a bit different than when they're 17/18 and never left home.
This is the correct answer. “They dominated for 20 years cause they were cheating and everyone else was squeaky clean” is about as low IQ lazy take as it gets.

Let me get this straight...
You think Michigan, Ohio State, etc were not paying players?

Ryan Clark nailed it. Well reasoned.

You have to give Texas credit. They were willing to be the one SEC team that scheduled tough out of conference this year.

Whats the rants response to this? Was cheating the only way the SEC dominated the last 20 years and the rest of cfb was pure as the driven snow? Is thIs playoff exposing the SEC as frauds and showing that the Big 10 is, in fact, truly the superior conference both morally and in football achievement?
Where’s the lie?
This extends to all traditional powers, which is why the record books are a joke.

You got me on the wagon for IU the remainder of this season
If it cant be us, it should go to the team that looks like a college football team instead of a team of NFL lite divas. You were right

100 percent. But, in this era of not being able to lose any football games like ever or your effed for the playoffs, I can see why they don’t (ask Texas).

If we had a conference wide scheduling agreement, that wouldnt be a issue. I think Texas and USC both got fricked out of playoff contention based on their OOC. Which isnt right. You shouldnt be punished for scheduling hard schedules. Not that I will cry for either, you cannot lose to Florida, and you cannot lose to Illinois and expect to still get in.
Posted on 1/3/26 at 5:30 pm to GeauxBurrow312
True. (But if Texas and USC played a cupcake, didn’t take the L, and then lost to Florida, they still might have gotten in).
Really, it’s only a matter of time before it’s just the Big10 v SEC. What you are proposing is just one step closer to that.

I dont want the doors closed to others, but what I am proposing is what makes most sense. A lot of posters on this site refuse to acknowledge the B1G has largely caught up to the SEC, save for their bottom 1/4 of teams. The other 2 P4 leagues are a fricking joke. Who in the Big 12 or ACC would win 10 games in either the SEC or B1G? Maybe Miami, maybe TTU. Thats it.
If a team is worthy, I dont mind including them. But most of them are not worthy at all. Its hilarious we had to rely on Duke beating Virginia to keep Virginia out of the playoffs. Duke, who lost to 2 G5 teams and lost by 26 to Illinois.
