don’t agree at all. this game is going to get shit ratings. one SEC team is fine, but having two makes this only attractive to jim bob and sissy (aka lolo and ND)

Stop pouting, or at least keep the whining between you and your sister wives.

Michigan why are you the way that you are? 


But awesome for UCF. Awesome to see the terribly overrated SEC fall on their faces in the bowl games, while the B1G shoves a big finger in the face of the committee by dominating. Glorious

Looks like the terribly overrated SEC fell right on their faces to the national title game. 
Oops, our bad.

Also no matter which team people cheer for they still want the best top 4 teams in the CFP. Doesn't matter if the team has been there before or not. You have a lot to learn grasshopper.

Oh and one last thing....
ROLL TIDE!!!!!!

The SEC is over rated. Yes, they have the best team in the country. They are top heavy. They have 2 good teams. After bama and Georgia ,  they have nothing. 

The big 10 has 7 or 8 teams that are very good. Had michigan nkt handed that game to USC, they would have been 8-0. The SEC was lucky to even have USC and GA win. Every other team lost. Including auburn, who lost to some team Florida team that has to recruit against FSU,  Florida, Miami, GA,  and Clemson. 

The bug ten is the best conference in college football right now. There's no real argument to be made otherwise.

Who said most of the country would rather see Wisconsin than Alabama in the playoff? I'm not sure anyone thinks that. Why would you pick Wisconsin over the actual conference champion? OSU has a better case to get in. I think they should have gotten in over bama. 

That being said, I do believe that ANY undefeated team should be in. I don't care what conference they play in. It is difficult for any team to run the table. I don't think you could do that though unless they expanded to 6 teams. I don't like the idea of an 8 team playoff. With 6 teams, you have room for teams like UCF and OSU or even Penn St last year.

It was rather see Wisconsin win the conference championship and get in than have them lose and Alabama get in. 

Maybe it's just a young person thing. Alabama has been dominant our entire lives and we are so sick of it. Everyone I know who watches college football hates Alabama. And all the college fans I've met at games and in other states feel the same way.

Absolutely.  Had Wisconsin beaten OSU, there's no way bama gets in. An undefeated power 5 conference champ and you do g let them in? The committee would have lost all of its credibility had that happened .

this is a great matchup for the “my cousin is also my wife” crowd.

SEC Rules. Been that way for 10 years.

Up until about 2 years ago. They're not better than the big 10. Yes, they have the best program in the country. But the conference overall is inferior to the big 10 and has been for 2 years now.

Not sure why people like to hate on winners.  For my money, give me classic match-ups.

Lakers v Celtics?  Oh, yeah!
Yanks v Dodgers?  Yep.
Habs v Bruins?  Give me more.
Niners & Pats?  This is my dream SB.

For NCAA...the sport is better when at least a handful of the teams listed below are playing at a high level.  There cannot be too many of them excelling!

Florida
LSU
Penn State
Florida State
Miami
Michigan
Texas
Nebraska
Oklahoma
Notre Dame
USC
Ohio State
Alabama

This doesn't mean that I don't root for Clemson or Georgia or some program like that who turns the flame up for a period and gets some time in the spotlight.  I could argue that it might be better for there to be a traditional powerhouse or 2 and a few party crashers in the playoffs each season.  Might be more fun that way. 

Haters can root for their Royals vs. Brewers matchups all they want -- but not many people tune in when that is the scenario.

We were texting that back and forth among the idiot alumni group that I text with about 2 minutes after reports came out that The Pete might retire from Seattle.
We should throw Jimbo money at him.  I would love this, so much.

SEC is still overrated. Clemson played their worst game today, Bama beating that Clemson team means nothing. Any of the top 10 could've beat Clemson the way the played today, unimpressive. Ohio State, Wisconsin, and Penn State all would have handled Clemson the same way. 

Georgia did what they had to do, they stayed with Oklahoma (who has one of if not the worst defense in the top 25) long enough to get to overtime and made it happen there. Mayfield being ill meant that the Oklahoma defense needed to step up, but they just didn't. A healthy Mayfield and that is an entirely different game.

And the worst part is that it distracts from the fact that the rest of the SEC performed terribly in their bowls. LSU and Auburn are supposed to be elite in the SEC, both lost. Auburn got steamrolled by UCF. Pathetic. 



There are two reason the B1G was left out of the CFP. 

Number 1: They voted for Alabama's name. Before the final vote, Alabama had played absolutely nobody. They played Auburn and got steamrolled, and Auburn turned out to be terribly overrated as well. They got in because for decades they've been great. Ohio State had one of the most difficult schedules a college team can have, and they only came in with 2 losses; neither of which recent. Alabama lost their LAST GAME OF THE SEASON. A team that loses to the only decent team they play all year, doesn't make their conference championship, and loses their last game DOES NOT MAKE THE PLAYOFFS. EVER. They got in because they are Alabama. 

Number 2: The B1G's top 3 teams were all so good that they knocked themselves out of the playoffs. Penn State lost to OSU by 1 point in one of the best games of the year (and following a questionable 4th down conversion spot), and lost to Michigan St. at the last second on a game so ridiculous that it should just be thrown out and never mentioned again. Wisconsin lost to Ohio State. Ohio State, again, had the hardest schedule a college team could have. Georgia and Alabama were the only two good teams in the conference, and they did not play each other this year. Georgia earned there way to where they are, but Alabama absolutely did not.

That was Clemson's worst game in 3 seasons. It was bad. Hard to argue they deserved the #1 spot, or even playoffs after that.

To hell with Wisconsin, Ohio State, and Alabama all three.  WHY THE HELL WASN'T CENTRAL FLORIDA IN??!!!

Undefeated. Check.
Conference Champs. Check.
Manhandle the team that mandhandled both teams appearing in the CFP title game. Check.

I'm not hating on bama. They've been the best program in college football for a decade. That doesn't mean the SEC is the best conference though.
