Name a team that wins a lot of league games but always chokes in non-league games and embarrasses your league OOC.

For the SEC, it has to be Auburn. Auburn will lose to the likes of Georgia Tech, Syracuse, UCF, USC w/ a shutout at home, and many others. Even when Auburn wins, they barely win. Auburn loses most of the bowl games they play in. Yet, Auburn will beat the big dog of the SEC like Alabama, LSU, Georgia, etc. They tend to do well in league but bad out of league.

Honorable mention: Arkansas

The smoke inhalation from the Knoxville dumpster fire is affecting your judgement. Losing three straight to Vandy should have been a warning sign.

Beat Georgia Tech and come back and talk to me.

Well, Maryland killed a guy last year, so I'm going to go with them.

Penn State also had some embarrassment not too long ago.

Here is a classic example:

Auburn beat Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina, and most the SEC but choked at home against Georgia Tech and got slammed by Wisconsin in the bowl game. Of course everyone remembers 2017 with the choke against UCF.

No, I am talking about teams that win BIG GAMES in your league but go out of your league and lose to teams they should have beaten regularly (or struggle with teams).

Guys, part of the criteria is that they have to do well in your league. So don't put teams like Rutgers or Indiana. Pick teams that are good (usually ranked) but choke a lot in OOC games.

That is a great example. Tennessee finished the season with a 3-5 conference record and was 5-6 overall. How does losing to GA Tech, LSU and Wisconsin compare to losing to Florida, UGA, Bama, South Carolina, ND, and Vandy and only beating UAB 17-10. Not only did you lose to Vandy but you finished behind them in the division.

I am not talking about political stuff or real embarrassing news. Read the thread for the criteria.

I'll go w/ meeeechegan. Lost to N.D. to start the season last year. Then won 10 in a row. And ended the season by getting punched in the mouth by Ohio State (gave up an all time worst 62 points) & then got blasted by Florida in their bowl game.

Two years ago they went 8-5. Going 0-5 vs. teams that finished the regular season above .500.

Winner! This fits the criteria.

Yeah, I know. But murdering a guy or protecting a child molester is really embarrassing.

But to your actual question. Michigan State wins a lot of Big Ten games but I don't recall them doing too well out of conference.

Michigan. A blue blood that can’t get out of their own way. They haven’t done anything of significance for a long time.

Losing to UCF is literally a badge of honors.

You bitches should wear this crown for two reasons...FSU and UCF.
