Bama getting no respect

I am not sure that I agree with you about that. The South is certainly way more passionate about college football, but the sport is only dependant on the fans and schools, not the conferences. If the conferences were all eliminated tomorrow I doubt that viewership would drop.

In this case, the “SEC” meant the southeast as a whole. The teams and the fans. I couldn’t care less about the conference itself, I was referring to the region. I should have been more clear.

I know, my reply wasn’t directed at you directly. People just need to stop pretending college doesn’t greatly depend on the SEC.

Yeah and people tend to believe that college football only depends on the SEC as well. The sport is still far far far behind the NFL in viewership and yet everyone wants a definitive national championship game that 9/10 times is going to result in a South only or a South vs Midwest that 75% of the country won’t watch.

You have numerous posters on here cry about super conferences killing regionality but in the same breath say the west coast shouldn’t even be considered when making deals or in determining a playoff format.

I agree - the Southern fan base is the economic engine that drives the sport.

Oh they care. They want the SEC out. No matter what the circumstances. Fair or not.

I think that more fans want UM out this year in spite of the protection that the media has given them. But, yeah, the country would like to see another conference win it all for a change.

Those lines make sense. What reasonable person would bet on Texas or FSU to win it all right now?

Alabama failed at its job, too, but nobody wants to touch that one.

It's like idiotic fans who will overlook 100 missed tackles and blocks in a football game to blame a guy who called a debatable pass interference as if the rest of the game didn't happen.

I guess the committee has one up on us since they didn't screw it up in September.

The 2022 Tennessee game and how many Alabama fans interpret it is an exercise in which proves that maybe the committee is more qualified than the vast majority of this board in determining the 4 teams playing for a national championship.
 
I don’t get the Michigan love, they just don’t seem dynamic on offense. Their defense is good but I don’t believe they are that great as a team.

What is this even supposed to mean? The officials STOLE that game from us. Are you honestly suggesting we weren’t one of the 4 best teams last year? And I guess you think TCU deserved it too.

Okay so should everyone ignore 2 losses just because we are one of the BEST? Even the BCS didn’t make that leap in logic.

And no we didn’t lose because of the refs. We lost because we refused to adjust on defense and we made some of the dumbest special teams decisions ever in the 1st half. The refs were bad but Alabama fans overplay the few bad calls to cover up that we had one of the worst games in the Saban era even if the refs weren’t there altogether.

My answer is the same as it always will be. College football is all about context. More so than any other sport, that is what makes it great. Simply looking at the records isn’t good enough.

Their defense is great, and their offense is better than you think. The B1G is a defensive conference this year.

Okay context says Georgia was the best team in 2007, but absolutely no one outside the Georgia state line was arguing that they should have been in.

Context also suggesting that both Ohio St and USC had better claims to the #4 spot in 2017 but very few were saying a 2 loss team should jump Alabama.

Context also suggested that Oklahoma St was screwed out of the Iowa St because the ref thought the FG was too high to judge it to be good. And context also suggests okie St played a far tougher schedule than Bama that year.

Context also suggests that TCU in 2014 played a far tougher schedule and had a tougher SOR than Ohio St.


We only like context when it benefits us is the problem.

no order but my thoughts on the teams in play for the playoff

Bama - is progressively getting better and better, don’t think we’ve seen the peak for this team yet. And that’s a good thing. No wiggle room, have to win big in every game forthcoming to get in.

UGA - has woken up after sleep walking through a mostly cupcake season

Meatchicken - pretender, starting to struggle, maybe the noise with the cheating scandal is becoming an issue, maybe they can’t get a leg up now that folks know . I expect them to get ran out of the stadium next weekend.

OSU - jury is still out, good team but the BIG ain’t exactly the SEC so what have they really done?

FSU - ACC is just bad this year. Biggest win over an LSU team that we’ve found fields a D-2 level defense. With Travis hurt, this isn’t the same team going forward.

Oregon - is there anyone hotter right now? They also play in the PAC where there are 3 teams worth a durn.

Washington - Penix and whatever the WR’s name is, is a great combo. But see above about PAC.

Texas - spent all summer and 2 weeks of season practicing for an immature Bama who was full of itself for hammering what has turned out to be a bad MTSU team. Won in BDS by “double digits” and has looked very middling since, nearly losing multiple times to near-500 teams. Play that game now with both teams as they currently stand and the horns might get boat-raced.

if the committee is being honest, Tejas and FSU likely get ran out of town early in the game if they get in. But will they have the intestinal fortitude to shift things?
