Indiana romped in both but if you think you'd rather have had Alabama's result than Oregon's, you're kidding yourself. Mendoza's brother played. Let that sink in.

At no point did Indiana bringing in Mendoza's BROTHER in this game. Alabama lost a lot worse and not even close.

Oregon is missing some key running backs. Don't compare Alabama to Oregon to try and make yourself feel better about the SEC.

"As a conference you dimwit."

You are pumping up the SEC conference after this post-season?

What win are you most proud of? Ole Miss beating UGA? Which SEC playoff team beat another P4 conference team?

"what this proves is you don't need to have any accomplishments during the regular season anymore. College football is now the NFL"

Only 12 teams out of the 100 or so FBS schools make the playoffs. So you need that accomplishment.

What's the alternative? Just going off the regular season alone? What "accomplishments" did UGA have from the regular season? A great win against Alabama? We see what that was worth after the Indiana-Alabama game.

Oregon would be a betting favorite for sure against UGA on a neutral field. Same with Ohio State.

"And you're basing this ridiculous comment on what? You lost your cred here kid....be gone. "

What's your argument that UGA is better than Indiana, Oregon and Ohio State?

Indiana beat Alabama a lot worse than UGA did (never mind the one loss).

I guess we'll see if Oregon can stay within 35 of Indiana tonight.

Ohio State was a consensus top 4 team and lost a lost closer to Indiana than Alabama did. The same Alabama that has a win over UGA.

OK you go.

"So 2 teams that DIDN'T win their conferences should've been in over a team that won the SEC under the old system? Is that what you're trying to say ? Great argument, it's always a pleasure to hear what the smartest guy in the room has to say."

When conferences get as big as they have gotten, it's a lot harder to know whether being a conference champion means anything because the conference schedules can be so different. So your view is that UGA is better than Oregon because they won the SEC. That's really your argument?? UGA would be the fourth best team in the Big 10 (I'll give you they are probably better than Iowa but they aren't better than Indiana, Oregon or Ohio State).

"Bowl games are meaningless."

Very convenient for you to think this after what happened this year. Are playoff games meaningless? The SEC took some bad losses there also. Good thing they had a couple of SEC-SEC matchups to ensure that an SEC team would advance. I'm not sure Ole Miss was better than Texas Tech for example.

Ole Miss lost by four because of some lucky breaks. Miami was sloppy and didn't take advantage of some things. Ole Miss plays Miami 100 times and they win maybe, maybe 10.
