They should change bowl tie-ins

[romeo212000]

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

It's their favorite comeback.

But what conclusions can you make by using this chart?

I conclude that you re a whiner.

B12 jimmies are highly rustled...

says the guy who started a thread complaining about SEC teams being unfairly overmatched in their bowl games

 

[oaknightshockey1]

SEC is overrated by MEDIA standards. Not all.


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

This is hilarious coming from someone whose fanbases have been defending their rankings all year while everyone else said they were overrated.

That's a terrible conclusion...where am I whining?

I simply stated facts.

This thread has backfired quite nicely

I defend Alabama, no one else. I'm simply stating facts.

Then you have other fans of SEC teams to thank for the piling on that is inevitable when something like this happens.

When you are matching up teams on a NATIONAL level, you should look at NATIONAL rankings... not conference rankings

This makes zero sense.

TCU 11-1 2nd in BXII, 6th in nation
Ole Miss 9-3 5th in SEC, 9th in nation

And yet Ole Miss is favored? By what standard? You tell me...

I'm supporting that the SEC is overrated nationally. So match them up by conference rankings.

Is BX11 4th best better than SEC 4th best?
Is PAC12 7th best better than B1G 7th best?

THAT is how bowl matchups should be if you want there to be a real gauge of who is the best conference.

I simply stated facts.

Oddly enough, so did I. Complaining about how contracts your conference has signed end up treating your conference constitutes whining. Don't worry - the SEC won't go broke because they are losing bowl games. And so long as the checks don't bounce, STFU and be an adult about it.

 

[mgoblue]

it's second only to the travel whining

Who cries about traveling? Anyone who has ever actually been to a bowl wouldnt complain.

So what you are saying is since TCU beat Ol Miss and Ol Miss beat Bama then TCU should be in the playoff instead of Bama correct....

[occupant]

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?

HONK HONK!!!!

well, that's obvious. Just ask several of the guys on this board, they'll explain it. Because...SEC

#1 SEC and #1 Big 10 played

or is that unfair?
