I'm so tired of "participation trophies" SEC deserves better...

College football has turned into exactly what America is these days. Just because some people are better than others (i.e. Georgia, Texas A&M, LSU, South Carolina), we have to give the people who are mediocre a piece of the pie (i.e. Northern Illinois). I'm so tired of participation trophies in life. Get up and do your friggin part or go rot in the dang dumpster. I could give a rat's you know what about somebody just because they "try hard". I tried hard on a Cal 3 test one time in college. But I wasn't good at it and I failed. You know what I did? I went out and found something I was good at and I excelled at it...and now I'm better at it than most anybody I know. I didn't complain because they didn't scale the scores of the test. Some people are better than others, some teams are better than others. Some conferences are better than others. Getl over it. If you don't like what cards are you dealt, fold and live for the next hand!
 
People want 16 in the playoff for the same reason that there are what? 200 teams in the basketball tournament? How many times does the best team in the country win the national title in basketball? People love it because type A personalities do not rule the public anymore. There are more people looking for an easy way out than just being better than somebody. No longer is it cool to be better than somebody. Its if you "try hard" or you "gave it your all". Thats what the general public has turned into. And that is why we have to deal with crap like this in bowl games. People would rather root for somebody like Northern Illinios because they are mediocre and it makes their sorry lives a little bit better if the underdogs win than it does if natural selection takes over in the game of football and the dominant team dominates.
