Not to mention struggling to beat these guys last week.
We are totally a different team from week 2 bruh
The ACC is definitely the worst power 5 conference. It really isn't even close.
Each team is different on a weekly basis, bruh. Injuries, matchups, etc. Point was not to base a teams overall performance on a single game. Point obviously failed.

Had TCU done their job against Kansas, they "probably" stay at #4. Instead they sneak by and deservedly get placed behind Miss St. Plenty of games left but that would be some kick in the ass if you end up not making the playoffs due to a bad week against the mighty Jayhawks.
Baylor is going to pass them up if they both win out. TCU has the no shot unless people ahead lose.
I guess it is possible but why have they not passed them already? Because Baylor played more cupcakes in the non-conference. The other problem Baylor could face is if Kansas St loses this weekend in Morgantown. Making their matchup with KSU a lesser event. Also Texas has been improving quite a bit and if TCU can bounce back and lay the smack down in Austin, that will look like a far better win than it would a few weeks ago. I do not see Baylor passing TCU. I can see Ohio St passing TCU by winning out and have a great performance in the Championship game.
Saban vs Meyer. It's happening people.
Bama/OSU
Oregon/FSU
Including a funny picture representing a team is usually a way to insult them, not sarcasm. But yeah, I totally missed it.There was a joke in there somewhere. Maybe look for a picture, possibly an animated one. Big guy eating a dilly bar in the snow. I thought it was fairly obvious but will be sure and follow anything in jest or sarcasm with the standard.

We are gonna build up all this hype and have a shot at the playoffs just to lose to wisconsin...I can already feel the tears coming
still laughing at what jeff long said:
Why is Alabama #1? Decisive victory over Miss. St.
Why is Ms. St. #4? "You never felt they were out of the game."
It's fascinating that your thoughts come in in one minute increments.
On the real tho, how do SEC teams get away with playing such ridiculously terrible teams at this point in the season?
They have been doing it for a few years. It's not like they removed a conference game to have them. Just moving a non-conference game you would see played at the beginning of the season to the week before your rival. It's like a second bye week and smart scheduling. Of course it does not always guarantee a win, see Florida's schedule last year.On the real tho, how do SEC teams get away with playing such ridiculously terrible teams at this point in the season?
If you're too scared to play teams in your conference, then you shouldn't be in that conference
At the very least schedule games with another decent conference. Playing cupcakes at this point in the season is so pussy
Conference schedules are set automatically. Don't get your first comment. And playing cupcakes at all is pussy. But it's really about a ton of cash they also get for doing it. That's my biggest complaint with college football - the cupcake scheduling. But EVERYONE does it. The only difference in the SEC is that they schedule their cupcakes on the back end unlike the Big 10 who plays them in September. It's a great strategy because a late loss always hurts you in the opinion polls more than an early one. If you aren't a powerhouse and try to creep in the back door of the Top 4 playoff and miss out based on strength of schedule you only have yourself to blame.If you're too scared to play teams in your conference, then you shouldn't be in that conference

Pac-12 can schedule fcs teams, the only conference that dosn't is the big ten
USC & UCLA choose not to schedule fcs teams too. No excuses tbh
FCS or a bottom feeding BCS team - not much difference imo. The Big 10 loves to schedule patsies too. Heck, a team schedules ONE tough opponent out of 4 ooc games and they want a pat on the back. OSU had VT and three layups. The only tough game MSU scheduled was Oregon and they lost. Michigan wasn't much better and we'll see when the Notre Dame game ends.
I would support a larger playoff structure IF everyone actually played games they had a real chance at losing. For the most part all of the top teams have MAYBE one tough ooc game and the champions will win that. Then almost half of the conference opponents are weak. The truth is an 8-4 record in college football implies a mediocre team imo. You should be able to sleep walk through at least 4 games for wins and just go .500 against the remaining opponents. You have to win 10+ games to earn any respect. That's the biggest difference between college and the NFL - all the teams are much closer in talent. Often the only difference between a great team and an average one is the QB.
