Bama's schedule is pretty bad but..

[Ron G]

Do you ever say something intelligent?

I mean how fucking retarded do you have to be to think a loss to another playoff team in the regular season is worse than a blow out loss to a team with a 7-5 record?

Please justify Mercer and this year The Citadel. Scheduling FCS teams is BS and you know it. Maybe Alabama's plan (and this may actually be smart) is to lose a regular season game and go straight to playoff every year bypassing the SEC Conference Championship.
Only Conference winner and teams with at least as good a record as the best Conference Champion. ND is in only if they have a record as good as the best Conference Champ and better record than the two champs that are left out. Same for non Power Five team. The National Playoff is not set up to determine the best team (and neither is the Basketball Championship). It is a playoff with teams that earned their way into the playoff.
If OSU was undefeated last year, they would have gotten in, even though Alabama may have been the best team regardless of getting into the playoff or not.

 

[Rolltide94]

LOL no they haven't you retard. What are you even talking about?

Yeah, I missed that it was the week b4 that the Cowboys were ranked. Still, both have 3 wins and TCU's best win is Iowa St and K-State's is OSU. K-State's win was more impressive. My money is on K-state.

Meanwhile, your wins are looking shittier by the week. You've beaten 3 teams that are lookng for their first conference win and 4 that are still looking for their second. 7 teams, not one that has a winning conference record. Remind me again who these great teams are that you guys have played/ Who are you guys going to get rolled by in the playoff this year?

 

[4down20]

to play a n OOC G5 football team at home more than once every ten to twelve years.

Your school is a joke if they ever play an away game in a G5 stadium.

 

[4down20]

Please justify Mercer and this year The Citadel. Scheduling FCS teams is BS and you know it.

I don't need to justify it. There are 11 other games on the schedule. The day people start acting like that FCS win is somehow a quality win and treats it as any thing other than a bullshit cupcake win will be the day I think you have a point. Until then, considering 90% of college football does it and you only cry about Alabama - you'll never convince me you are anything more than a loser/hater.

Maybe Alabama's plan (and this may actually be smart) is to lose a regular season game and go straight to playoff every year bypassing the SEC Conference Championship.

I guess it was also Auburn and Georgia's plan last year too then right? And hell, both Alabama and Georgia lost to Auburn in the regular season. Georgia lost even worse than Alabama did, and was ranked higher than Georgia. The difference? Georgia played in a weaker division, which doesn't include Auburn and so they are granted a rematch against Auburn in the SECCG.

Because it's not the fucking SEC's job or purpose to try and find the best SEC team for the playoffs. It's about a conference champion which is subject to it's own stupid fucking rules and has it's own separate goals.

And here as usual you are just wrong. The college football playoffs stated goal is to take the 4 best teams. Not this shit you just dreamed up. And if you don't believe it, then just look at the fucking results. 4 years the playoffs have been played, 2 of them have had teams that didn't win or even play in their conference games, and it's not all SEC. And in 1 of those years, 1 conference had 2 teams make the playoffs and it will happen again in the future.

So I don't know where the fuck you got all this bullshit about conference champions and such, but if it were true you wouldn't be here crying right now.

Hell, OSU had 2 losses last year. All they needed was to not get blown out by a 7-5 Iowa team by more than 30 points. Yes, that screams team that deserves to go the playoffs. And the year before that OSU goes to the playoffs in the same situation as Alabama last year, then gets shut out 31-0 and I don't remember seeing a word out of you.

Because in the end you're just another bitch ass loser looking for reasons to disqualify the team you can't beat on the field, and can't do shit about.

So suck it.

 

[theSabanator20]

KSU isn't a quality win, that team is as milquetoast as it gets. Indiana is a more impressive win.

I have no particular dog in the fight (I am an alumni of an FCS school) so I am not the loser your claim. I like ND but in reality, I just want the selection process to be fair. When teams go undefeated such as UCF and are not included in the playoff, that is unfair. They are either an NCAA Division 1 team or they are not. The committee should just admit that only P5 teams are eligible. And the Championship should be called the P5 Championship not the NCAA Division 1 Championship.
The concept of what are the best 4 teams if based on that premise that a committee is all knowing. Maybe the best way is to have the coaches vote without the ability to vote for their own team, or even a team from their own conference.
The preseason rank has too much influence on the final outcome.

Do you know what strength of schedule actually is? I mean you sit here and you complain about a few games Alabama plays during the year, while UCF has nothing on it's schedule but those games.

20 different teams could have gone undefeated on their schedule, it was not even in the top100 of college football. How the fuck can you sit here and call it unfair when many of teams in the top20 could have accomplished the exact same thing, only they actually played a tough schedule instead and had a few losses.

You don't know the first thing about what is fair in college football. And you sit here and tell me bullshit like you got no dog in this hunt. BULL FUCKING SHIT. Nothing about your post is fair, rational or intelligent.

And it's not a matter of only P5 teams being eligible. It's a matter of SoS. Those schools can go down to the FCS level if they don't like it, but you don't get to play a schedule that is absolute dog shit and then claim you are owed anything. They didn't even deserve to be in the top10, much less the playoffs.

And if you can't understand why playign 12 cupcake games all year long doesn't deserve it, then it's on you. But yet you complain about Alabama playing 3 or 4. Yeah, you're a dumbass loser, no doubt about it.

And preseason rank doesn't mean shit anymore. Fuck you're stupid. Like, I hope your nuts get chopped off so you can't breed stupid.

 

[Rolltide94]

The National Playoff is not set up to determine the best team (and neither is the Basketball Championship).

You're right, it doesn't determine who is the best team is. It determines who are the 4 best and then lets the geme sort out the best.

 

[Kaplony]

"we schedule all our cupcakes early in the season so we are superior" - douche nozzles

Except for Clemson. We schedule our cupcake last.

Remind me again who these great teams are that you guys have played/ Who are you guys going to get rolled by in the playoff this year?

And Alabama's look good? Louisville is absolutely pathetic, A&M and Ole Miss are barely able to escape a horrible Arkansas team (that put up 31 on Bama), and what else is there? I've said multiple times that the schedules will balance themselves out as the season goes along, but we're not there yet. Nice job picking an arbitrary stat like "conference winning percentage". That's the first time I think I've ever seen anyone reference that like it's relevant.

Also, regarding our playoff fate, we know it won't be Bama doing any rolling. It's impossible for you clowns to not get owned by us in the playoff.

[poewelch84]

I'm not sure why Alabama fan are complaining they haven't hit the hard part of their schedule yet. We'll know exactly how good Alabama is after the next few weeks. They do look great right now but I'm not impressed with some of the teams they've beaten.

If you aren't "impressed with some of the teams they've beaten" so far, you'll be less "impressed" with the "hard part of their schedule". The only challenge remaining on the scheule is The Citadel. The other four games will be so far out of reach that Tua won't even get to play in the second half.

Cool. I'm not impressed with some of the teams we've beaten either. What I am impressed with is getting this far in a season and the starting QB still hasnt played a down in a 4th quarter. I am not impressed with Bama beating tea,s like they've played so far, i am impressed with how they have done it so easily with no doubt as to the outcome by halftime.
Do I think we cant be beaten? Absolutely not. Do i think there are many teams who have what it takes to beat us? Absolutely not. Maybe 2 or 3 teams tops have what it will take, and one is left on our schedule. If we get past November 3rd unscathed, I dont see a loss on our schedule past that date.
And based on how Georgia looked this past weekend, they should be looking to their schedule to see what they need to do to get better if they want to make the SECCG again this year.

 

[Deep Creek]

If we get past November 17th unscathed, I dont see a loss on our schedule past that date.

 

[Eco]

Nope, it was the Oklahoma loss. A one loss OSU conference champion get in ahead of a one loss non division winner with an FCS win on its schedule.

Sorry, but you are completely wrong. Here's the logic.

If Ohio State beats Oklahoma, still loses to Iowa, and win the Big Ten Championship, they are in the playoffs.
If Ohio State loses to Oklahoma, but beats Iowa, and win the Big Ten Championship, they are in the playoffs.

Therefore, with the committee having thus far not allowed a team with 2 losses in, I think it came down to the fact that they lost by 31 to an Iowa team that wasn't that good.

Ok but who has Ohio State beaten??

I'll take a guess. Two ranked teams. Is that correct?

You asked if Ohio State has beaten a ranked team. I gave you 2 examples. Funny a Bama fan would have an issue. Have you already forgotten about last season when your Tide beat a ranked FSU team to start the season? Why did that W over a top 25 team count all season long but Ohio State's are invalid?
