Disgusted its all about the 10 BIG names.

It's honestly why college football ultimately sucks over the NFL.

The logo bias is so deeply ingrained the nameplates get every accomodation.

There are no committees to frick over the little guys in the NFL.

Still prefer college football over the NFL but you make legitimate points and if things don't change, my allegiance likely will

The committee is protecting Alabama from missing the playoff with a potential loss in the SEC CG


Yes. The last thing they want is to keep the SEC runner-up out of the playoffs.

In no world is the runner up in the SEC not one of the top 10 teams in the country.

The SEC runner-up is not going to be left out

Per the committee's own ranking Alabama is 5th in the SEC behind Georgia, Ole Miss, Oklahoma and Texas A&M

I asked ChatGPT how many threads (permutations) we can expect Texas posters to make each day begging for a spot in the CFP.

This has nothing to do with Texas

Talking heads like Josh Pate are lobbying for Miami over Notre Dame due to the Canes squeaking past the Fighting Irish back during week one in Miami

Texas is sitting behind Alabama because the majority of their games have been lack luster. Texas is not even considered a bubble team just a team realizing they are not one of the best teams in the country or conference but also realizing they are at best 3rd in the state of Texas.

Never mentioned Texas

We're not in the playoff conversation but thanks for thinking of us

Guess that beat down we gave y'all in Tuscaloosa in Saban's final season must have really made an impression?

First and foremost they're not that good

They eeked out four wins (Auburn, Missouri, Georgia and South Carolina) by a combined 20 points

After sitting at #10 in the playoff committee rankings before a lackluster performance against Auburn could narrow the gap or drop them behind Miami, Vanderbilt, Texas or BYU

The committee is aware of the possibility of the ACC being shutout with a Duke win over Virginia in the ACC CG, so boosting Miami above Alabama this week would greatly enhance the odds of the ACC at least getting one team in the playoff

If BYU beats Texas Tech, odds are Alabama is the odd team out, regardless if they stay at #10 this week

A multiple score loss against Georgia would likely
eliminate Alabama

This notion that if a team makes their respective conference game while being highly ranked gets a free pass is ridiculous

Perhaps if you're a one-loss team and ranked in the top 5 or 6, I'd agree with that logic but not for a bubble-team heading into their respective conference championship games

Would love to see the SEC get 5 teams in the playoff and have great respect for Alabama but don't be shocked if they're left out

Hopefully I'm wrong but I'd encourage all Alabama & SEC fans to put your cups on

They are a longshot to even make their conference championship game

Sankey and SEC member institutions need to intervene and resolve this embarrassing situation

If LSU lacks the funding and/or institutional integrity it's currently displaying, perhaps they should no longer be affiliated with the SEC

This isn't just a black eye for LSU, it reflects poorly on the entire SEC

Personally, I've always been a fan of LSU and their storied athletics history but there's some shady business going on down in the Bayou

I've never been a fan of BK and he was never a good fit for LSU but he has a contract and I support him receiving every penny contractually owed to him

Pay this man his money

We know your season is over. But it’s too early to start off-season threads.

Our season is over but that doesn't change the narrative for the entire SEC

I'm still convinced that Ole Miss deserved to be the playoff last year and could have competed for a national championship

The current DEI format guarantees that the best 12 teams won't be included in the playoff

No G5 team will ever make the championship game and shouldn't get a free pass to the playoff when they wouldn't finish in the top half of the SEC

It's the equivalent of allowing the baseball triple-A champion into the MLB Playoffs

Ohio State 6-2
Notre Dame 5-3
Indiana 4-4
Oregon 3-5
Texas Tech 3-5
Miami 3-5
BYU 2-6
Utah 2-6
Georgia Tech 2-6
Illinois 2-6
Michigan 2-6
USC 2-6
Arizona State 2-6
Virginia 1-7
Tulane 1-7
Houston 1-7

My belief is only two non-SEC teams would be above 4-4 if they played an SEC schedule

ACC and G5 have no business in the playoff this year

Teams on the SEC slate this weekend

Eastern Illinois
Charlotte
Mercer
Coastal Georgia
Western Kentucky
