I’m tired of rooting for other teams to take care of our business first us.

Gee, if only we knew of a team that had played both of them this season for a comparison.
You might as well get ready for “changes” starting next year. The whining by Herbstreit, Sankey and Kiffin will ensure a fake SOS metric will play a part in the CFP starting next year. So what we know is, a “brand” with 2-3 losses (Alabama) will get in over an upstart like 11-1 Indiana. The only changes I agree with are how the 1-4 seeds are established, and reseeding after the 1st round is played. There is no reason #1 Oregon has a tougher path vs #2 uga, #5 Texas, #6 PSU.
Just another example of Herbstreit pandering to his network despite being a B1G alum. IU was 11-1. Alabama, South Carolina, Ole Miss, Miami, etc lost 2-3 games, period. Deal with it.
Do I think Ole Miss is better than IU? Yes. But IU didn’t lose to the B1G’s equivalent of Kensucky in Purdue. Losses have to matter at some point.
So if PSU ends up rolling SMU, the same sentiments will be said. In the end, we all know the end goal of the sec & B1G will be that the ACC, B12 only get 1 team (unless they are Clemson, FSU, Miami), period. At this point it’s all about “brands” going forward.

This is why I'm pulling hard for the SEC to go 0-3 in the playoffs. We need more SEC losses to counter the narrative.You might as well get ready for “changes” starting next year.

Sometimes I think Herbstriet is actually on the SEC payroll. I’m sure he’s getting compensated for all the SEC handies he gives out.
I may be the only one who thinks this, but Clemson can beat Texas. I mean, who the hell has Texas beaten? 7-5 Michigan, 8-4 TAMU, 8-5 UF…..Wow…..What a schedule. As a USC fan, I know how bad Sark is as a big game coach. He’s proven that twice again this year (uga).
ND can without question beat uga NY night. But ND has to play better on O inside the 30. The ND D is damn good. ND should have won by 28+ last night had the O just finished lengthy drives. FG’s won’t win going forward.
Tennessee’s anemic offense will struggle tonight at tOSU. I have a feeling all the negative talk tOSU has been hearing since losing to Michigan, combined with this false narrative on how good Tennessee is, along with the trash talk by Tennessee will really show tonight. I think tOSU rolls.

There's absolutely no reason for the playoffs to include anyone but conference champions and if we have 18 team conferences, then play 8 games in each division and go back to division vs division in the conference championship.
The narrative with SMU’s schedule is false. They played the following:
OOC:
BYU - 10-2
ACC:
Duke - 9-3
UofL - 8-4
Pitt - 7-5 (7-0 going into that game)
BC - 7-5
Cal - 6-7
Clemson - 10-3*
Keep in mind, preseason Top 10 FSU was also on their schedule. No one expected 2-10.
So who exactly did SMU miss at the top of the ACC this year? Based on preseason predictions it would have been 10-2 Miami.
9-3 Syracuse was predicted near the bottom of the ACC, and GT was 9-10th.

Shouldn’t conference realignment moving forward have to go through antitrust laws and government action? That is what the players are using. Bust up these mega conferences and have 12 team regional conferences.
