Drroogh Posted December 2, 2023 Report Share Posted December 2, 2023 (edited) You still have OSU and Texas ahead of Alabama! I’m not checking the entire SEC schedule but they are notorious for extremely weak out of conference schedules because they feel conference schedules are more difficult than everyone else’s. It’s about time their arrogance bites them between the legs!! Edited December 3, 2023 by Drroogh 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This has always been a horrible system but they will put the 4 best teams in…maybe they think FSU is better than a 1 loss team…but if they are trying for the 4 best teams…I don’t think they will select them if Bama wins convincingly. The chance for Bama to win convicingly is over. They may win, but this has been an ugly game. Plus Bowers and McConkey are noticeably limping. People can see this isn't 2021 Georgia. From an eye test standpoint, Bama had to have an incredibly lucky last second hail Mary to beat a terrible Auburn team last week. Who just got smashed by New Mexico State. At home. Just no way to justify jumping an undefeated FSU or Texas that handled Bama at home. Just my thoughts. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steubenhoosier Posted December 3, 2023 Report Share Posted December 3, 2023 If Alabama ends up winning this game and in the process gets into the playoffs, what does that say about the committee and the voting all year long? I have a really hard time with them leapfrogging so many teams to get in, especially if the only one who lost this weekend is Oregon 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s about time their arrogance bites them between the legs!! Of the top 15 teams there are only 4 games where any SEC team played out of conference. 3 losses and one win. FSU beat 2 SEC teams the only SEC win was Kentucky beating Louisville. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoosierDom Posted December 3, 2023 Report Share Posted December 3, 2023 If FSU wins, I don't see how it's not Michigan, Washington, FSU, Texas. Ohio has an argument, but a non-conference champion isn't going to win those arguments. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having seen most of the top ten play, my feeling is that OSU is probably no better than the seventh team in the country. I’d give them zero consideration. Not fair to blow off Texas’ win over Alabama at Tuscaloosa if both end up 12-1. I would exclude conference affiliations and history and simply stack the resume of each team. I get where you got. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drroogh Posted December 3, 2023 Report Share Posted December 3, 2023 Knowing the SEC and their Dou*** commissioner they’ll be lobbying HARD for both Alabama and Georgia getting in!

Ole Miss is every bit as good as Penn St…and I’m not sure what Tennessee and LSU are ranked but I’d put them comparable to ND. I think the point is all these teams are pretty equal but you can’t discount today’s game…Bama beat Georgia the number 1 team in the country. No one has a win like that..except maybe Michigan. OSU has no such win, Florida St doesn’t, Washington doesn’t. The teams with the best 3 wins this year are Michigan, Bama, and Texas…Washington has the more impressive wins between them Georgia and FSU. This is my assessment. Might not mean a thing…not saying it should…but however you get to your decision I can’t say there is a wrong answer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not going to argue…the three most impressive wins this season were by Texas, Alabama, and Michigan. IMO Washington resume and eye test wins out over FSU minus Travis.
