Big 10 gets a great deal larger check. SEC is being screwed around.

You called South Carolina losing to Ole Miss a bad loss to a top 15 team?


South Carolina absolutely laid an egg at home against Ole Miss.

It’s pretty much exactly the same in the NFL. Meaning some NFL divisions are tougher than others, that’s just the way it is. Quit whining.


Exactly.

Some divisions are gonna be harder than others.

Some conferences are gonna be harder than others. I’m

I don’t understand why some on here can’t grasp this.

How exactly are you getting screwed??

Face it, now you don’t have to get a second mortgage on your double wide to attend a playoff game that Bama will lose anyway

their opportunity

You keep using this phrase as if their opportunities are equal. If the system stays unchanged, what if a 4 or 5 loss team gets in by winning their sorry conference and a 2 loss team doesn't, when said 2 loss team took advantage of their opportunities more often than the 4 or 5 loss team?

You have no idea what it’s like to be in our position.


Ole Miss has never been in a position to win a conference title since the original expansion in 1992. Who the hell do you think you’re kidding?

The fans who are defending the dog shite system I’ve seen in this thread are Arkansas A&M and several LSU fans. All teams that didn’t sniff the playoffs.


All more successful SEC programs than Ole Miss.



Ole Miss lost at home to Kentucky. Ole Miss then lost to a down Florida team. Nobody is going to give you sympathy and nobody feels bad for you.

Ole Miss went out and spend a shite ton on players, yet sits in the same place as Texas A&M, LSU, Mississippi State, Arkansas, Florida, Vanderbilt, and Kentucky.

If I were a bottom half SEC team I’d be making some calls to the Big 12 and Pac 12 today.
that would be throwing away a fistful of stew. Bad idea.

Part of being successful is taking advantage of opportunities given. South Carolina had two home games that they lost, where they didn’t take advantage of their opportunity.

Again, it’s not rocket surgery.

According to you, if the 5 loss team is from the SEC then they’re a shoe in.

Hahahahahahaahahahahhahahahahaha

When your second winningest coach in program history is Houston fricking Nutt you need to shut the frick up.

Ole Miss program has shite on Arkansas for a decade. Ole Miss is on pace for its 3rd 10 win season in 4 years. Arkansas hasn’t won 10 games in 13 years.

What a fricking retard. Explains your horrific opinions. Double digit iq.

It's been asked ever since there was a playoff, Bama fans are just now realizing they aren't special.



You're a moron. I'm not talking about just Bama. There is simply no argument for leaving all 3 three-loss SEC teams out of the playoff.

30+ years in the league with Arkansas. One has been to Atlanta 3 times and the other has never been.

30+ years in the same league, and one just had its first 10 win regular season in school history, the other has multiple.

30+ years in the same league, and Ole Miss trails the all time series by 10 games.


Millions more spent on a roster this past season, and Ole Miss sits in the same boat as Arkansas, LSU, Aggy, and State. Outside looking in.

True. But Indiana didn’t lose to a team in their schedule with a .500 or worse record this season either.

Ward Manuel said strength of schedule is important.....then put in half a dozen teams who have beaten noone.


The amount of teams in this playoff that have zero ranked wins is hilarious. You just have to laugh at it
