What's crazy is they have plenty of guys who have been around the game long enough to know better. Of course, with two token females, never underestimate how batshit crazy they can make everything.

Gotta win the tough OOC agree. It’s a risk reward. I think it’s a big risk to go on the road against Ohio St, ND, etc.


Oh, absolutely! And Kudos to Texas for doing exactly that. However, losing that game also cost them dearly. Win that game (Or more importantly the Florida game) and Texas would be in the playoffs.

I will say that the Notre dame win for A&M is probably only thing keeping us from getting BYU treatment though so perhaps our win this year is baked in.

It was a great move and win for A&M, no doubt. Lose that game and then to Texas and things would get dicey.

But again I think in general you should reward teams who schedule and win tough games OOC
Me too. But it also has to be taken in context with the rest of their games. Kudos to Texas for scheduling Ohio State, but the loss hurt a bit...then the Florida loss was devastating for them.
Beat Florida and Texas is in the playoffs and the Ohio State loss does not hurt them. Beat Ohio State and the Florida loss is chalked up to a fluke, and thye are probably in near the bottom.

This was a flukey year with so many teams finishing with two or fewer losses.

True, but the participation trophies for teams that will get crushed is silly.

Why the 4 team method was better. I could even go with a 6 team playoff.
You think this is bad? Wait until they expand it to 16 teams.

I have a gut feeling that if Alabama loses they are out of the CFP. This is a play in game for Alabama and if they lose it's not a punishment for playing in the SECCG. Alabama used their mulligan with the FL.St loss and a 3 loss team should not be in the CFP.

If Alabama cannot beat UGA in the SECCG, then what is the reason for them being in the CFP?? They also lost to OK, another CFP team in the last few weeks. How many chances does a team need to get to earn a CFP berth?

4,somehow, was less crazy.

Just make it 32. All the usual bigtime programs get in. Go slug it out.

a loss on the road to #13 versus a loss at home to #9. there is a difference that you are conveniently skipping over.


Georgia beat the team you lost to by 25 points. Let’s not lose sight of the obvious

Can’t see that the line at 12 with auto bids is what is causing the issue? 32 would mean every major program would likely be in that has a decent season.

4, is so high you are only dealing with zero to 1 loss teams only.

Utter bullshite. You can look at their schedule and tell that's not even close to being true.

At least we know that Mike doesn’t have a giant pile of blow on his desk like Lane. There’s just no way a person can move to Mississippi and lose weight like Lane did.

It’s BS if Bama loses and then a team that wasn’t even playing in a CCG takes their spot in CFP.

5 or 6. You could make an argument Tech should be ranked much lower as well as that ASU loss was terrible being midseason and the Big 12 is basically a G5 now but is being treated like it's the SEC.



Should have put this in my post above...it could be argued that Texas Tech would be undefeated had their QB played in that ASU game, and they lost to a 4 loss team by ten, the same amount of points A&M lost to a 3 loss Texas team, with a healthy QB. Nothing against A&M at all....just making the same arguments they would rightfully and fairly make. What hurt A&M was the timing of their loss.


A&M has a better loss, a better win, a better SOS, and a better SOR than Tech. The only advantage Tech has is they have run up the score on terrible teams, that's it.

A&M also was without our best offensive player for half the season, Moss. He certainly would have been a huge help in the Texas game but that's how football goes and we aren't expecting a consolation. I am excited to have Moss back for the Playoffs though.

If Elko wants an explanation it is easy - beat the teams you are supposed to like Texas. No sympathy at all.

Equally BS for the SEC to have 3 teams ranked higher than a team in the championship game.

If Bama is left out for losing in the CCG…the SEC should immediately expand Get four divisions and crown the SEC champion the national champion. Screw the rest of college football.

Yes, he’s clearly fatter.

Also, he’s not wrong. The committee is awful.
