Should the SEC adopt a 9 game conference schedule?

[outofyourmind]

So what if some SEC teams only play each other once every decade.
It's smart to get the extra home game which means 5 extra games per decade.
What is that, like $50 million dollars over 10 years.

Who the fuck is going to turn that down, plus an automatic win over Mercer

And an automatic win over Troy, oh never mind!!!

Just FYI.

Troy is 10-2, a Conference Champ and rated #49 by the Massey Composite Ranking.

Put a little perspective on that:

Teams rated below Troy on USC's Schedule

Western Michigan #88
Cal #65
Oregon St. #119
Utah #50
Arizona #52
Colorado #79
UCLA #51

Teams pretty close
Texas at #40
Arizona St #39

Teams significantly above
Stanford #15
Washington State #23
Notre Dame #10

So, literally 3/4 of your schedule is at or below the Troy level...and you want to come on here making fun of Troy as an OOC opponent. Not to mention that you lost to most of the teams you played rated above them.

 

[outofyourmind]

Whether you play 8 conference games or 9, every single team will schedule a scrub team OOC.
However, if you play 10 more conference teams in a 10 year time span, then maybe you might get an Alabama/Georgia matchup this year in conference, instead of getting both of them in the playoff and fucking over 2 other conferences.

Why does the SEC hate playing their own conference members so much?

The fans are trash

 

[HuskerOC]

Yes

I'm all for fucking over two conferences if those two conferences are the Pac-12 and the B1G.

Those conferences fucked themselves. Alabama does not get in if they do not fuck up.

And # of conference games isn't how they fucked themselves.

If I were in your shoes, I would be as well.

Fuck everybody else. I wants mine, and more.

I just had to quit going to an Alabama forum because I can't stand some of the fans on it. They are seriously fucking crying about Pruitt going to Tennessee, talking about how he shouldn't be allowed to campus at all, that Fat Phil is going to be in his ear and make him sabotage the game.

Instead, we should replace him with a guy who's never called a defensive game in his life. Same guy who is available

Meanwhile, a leaving coordinator has not lost a single playoff game yet as far as I can tell. And this is a guy who played for Alabama on top of everything else.

I want to slap the fuck out of each and every one of them. I hope they are Auburn trolls, but either way it's a waste of energy.

Otherwise you can watch me eat it.

And Alabama and Georgia don't both get in if they played each other this year instead of Mercer.
How hard is that to understand.

How hard is that to understand.

Even with a 9 game schedule, Alabama wouldn't have played Georgia this year, we would have played Missouri.

And even if they had decided the conference championship game by playoff rank this year, Alabama still wouldn't have played Georgia, it would have been an Alabama vs Auburn rematch.

But sure, blame the SEC instead of the fact that Ohio St and USC both lost 2 games each...some of them to unranked teams.

I'm not buying into your "Massey Composite Ranking". Troy doesn't play a FBS (P5) schedule.

Lol. Thats the stupidest pimping of a trucking school Ive heard in a while. Make Troy the schedules these teams have and they would be toast by the third game. Yeah UCLA is lower on your stupid rating chart but Rosen would light them up like a video game. These teams are not good this season playing power conference schedules.I know we make fun of the loss but LSU beats them nine times out of ten. This just happened to be the one.

Nope, they don't, but then USC plays one in name only, so I guess there's that.

LOL at you dismissing my "Massey Composite Ranking". Let me guess, too much science for your flat earth brain.

You run your mouth about a lot of shit, but never have anything to back it up.

Rosen would probably light them up like a video game...just as he has done against most Pac teams, unfortunately Troy has a decent offense, and UCLA plays defense like a wet Kleenex.

Let's compare some actual games.

Troy 62 Texas St 9 Colorado 37 Texas St 3
Troy 27 New Mexico St Arizona St 37 New Mexico st 31

or how about some of these common opponents
Memphis 37 ULM 29
Memphis 48 UCLA 45
Memphis 42 Houston 28
Houston 19 Arizona 16
Troy 24 Idaho 21
Western Michigan 37 Idaho 28
USC 49 Western Michigan 31

Yes, I believe Troy does only beat LSU 1/10., but I bet UCLA is a hell of a lot closer to 50%.

And Troy beat LSU
LSU beat Auburn
Auburn beat Alabama so I guess Troy would beat Alabama 30-40% of the time, amirite?

28-30% tops.
