They should change bowl tie-ins

[theSabanator20]

Auburn finished 4th in the SEC West and 6th in the SEC
Wisconsin finished 1st in the B1G West and 2nd in the B1G

So using unbiased standards, Wisconsin is obviously the better team by conference rank.

I could use all examples, and in the games the SEC lost, they were lower ranked in their respective conference.

Anyone look at it this way?

Maybe we could really gauge who's the best conference by aligning them relative to position in conference.

1)Alabama-Ohio State-Baylor-Florida State-Oregon
2)Missouri-Wisconsin-TCU-Georgia Tech-Arizona
3)Miss State-Michigan State-Kansas St-Clemson-Arizona State
4)Georgia-Minnesota-Oklahoma-Louisville-UCLA
5)Ole Miss-Nebraska-Texas-Duke-USC
6)Auburn-Maryland-West Virginia-Boston College-Utah
7)LSU-Iowa-Oklahoma State-North Carolina-Stanford
8)Florida-Rutgers-Pittsburgh-Washington
9)Texas A&M-Illinois-NC State
10)Tennessee-Penn State-Miami
11)South Carolina-Virginia Tech
12)Arkansas

Now let's use this chart and discover some logic.

GT>Miss St
TCU>Ole Miss
Wisconsin>Auburn

Missouri>Minnesota
Georgia=Louisville
Miami>South Carolina
Texas>Arkansas
West Virginia>Texas A&M

LSU and Notre Dame are hard to compare since Notre Dame is independent.

But what conclusions can you make by using this chart?

The SEC places their teams in the bowls they want them to play in, so no whining about this...it is Slive's placement...so weighted to SEC's favor...

Happens to the B1G all the time and we don't cry about it, I'm suprised it took this long for excuses.

 

[Beggs]

and here comes the excuses. Remember how the SEC was better than everyone else, the bottom of the SEC West could match up well against anyone, and the B1G was picked to lose every game?

But what conclusions can you make by using this chart?

That you are a card carrying member of Team SEC, and if Team SEC won the majority of these games you would be nut swinging away?

 

[Wild Turkey]

The tie ins should be changed but only because we are repeating bowls and opponents too often and it's getting boring.

As for rankings screw that as a reason put your big boy pants on and play.

So I see. No one here is unbiased and no one here uses logic. Should have known.

it's second only to the travel whining

The Cotton Bowl, Orange Bowl and Peach Bowl were chosen strictly by the Committee... nothing to do with conference affiliation

 

[NDHoosier101]

SEC tapping out already?

 

[HuskerinBig10]

16th ranked Nebraska, with 3 losses, took on 7th rated Georgia that almost won the SEC Championship in 2012.

In 2011, 23rd ranked 9-3 Nebraska took on 2 loss and 10th ranked South Carolina.

Both Bowl games played in SEC country.

This is for you

 

[Tharvot]

You're seriously complaining about tie ins being unfair when your conference was favored to win all those games?

Cry moar

Who did Texas Tech play in their bowl?

 

[theSabanator20]

SEC is overrated by MEDIA standards. Not all.


You've all been brainwashed by the media to be accepting of their rankings.

 

[tech_iceman]

Who did Texas Tech play in their bowl?

oh, I didn't know that's what this thread was about
