Box and 1 is middle school stuff.

They just need to be smart and timely with their double team, trapping, and rotations.

I don't know... I mean, it's also kind of awkward if you're watching a show and the next scene cuts on and it's just some woman getting drilled from behind for 20 seconds.

And it's also annoying when it happens like 3 or 4 times in one show.

But Toughblade shaves you better and saves you more.

Who gives a crap about "looking better?"

You either win or you don't.

Bottom-line.

Iowa, TCU, Stanford, etc would not have had a problem of making the playoff if they took care of business.

Do you think people sit around saying "LSU looks a lot better after losing because Alabama beat Michigan State."

You think the general public gives a shite about this stuff.

No, they care that Alabama won.

You didn't win, the SEC didn't win and your next door neighbor didn't win shite either.

Oh look, another idiot who doesn't get it.

You know who cares about "looking better"? Voters. The people making the rankings. Having a loss to an SEC team is a lot better than having a loss to teams from another conference. It doesn't count against you as much.

And winning against SEC teams is a boost that another conference doesn't get.

Having a very strong conference boosts your wins against conference opponents and softens the losses against conference opponents.




And it's not just some kind of false perception that the SEC was stronger than all other conferences the past decade or so. It was proven in their out of conference records. And often times, it was a higher-seeded team from another conference losing to a lower-seeded team in the SEC.

For example... two similarly-ranked teams might play each other from the Big 10 and SEC. However, that team in the Big 10 might be their #3 ranked team in their conference, and they are playing the SEC's 6th best team. Yet they are comparable teams, and the SEC team often wins.

Because the SEC is strong, to get a competitive match-up in a bowl game, they have to match up a #3 Big 10 team with a #6 SEC team in the bowl game.


If you went ranking by ranking:

SEC #1 vs. Big 10 #1
SEC #2 vs. Big 10 #2

Etc...


The SEC would be the best conference without a doubt when ranking tit for tat like that.



They've had a few down years recently, but the SEC being the best conference in college football was not even a question for the past decade or longer.

Like Arkansas? Or Florida? Or A&M?

Louisville was 5th in the ACC and Texas A&M was 9th in the SEC.

If Louisville played the 5th best team in the SEC they would have played Georgia or LSU.


Florida was a completely different team after they lost their QB.





And I don't know what Arkansas has to do with anything considering they haven't played their bowl game yet.

Not sure how timely this thread is as they seem to be making a comeback over the past few years. Quite a few now.

You can probably still count them on one hand in all of the power 5 conferences.

I would have named him Fig, but whatever.

Watching it on the big screen with surround sound is pretty cool because it sounds like you would hear the game in the stadium.

Plus the camera angles are pretty cool.


It's a nice switch-up from the regular broadcast.


The game feels much more intense when you just hear the sounds of the game without the announcer's commentary. I don't know why. It just does.
