Sat Games 11/16

It's been building for awhile, money talks, and bullshit walks
My building paranoia over the corruption my eyes see, but that we are seemingly content to basically ignore, tells me that Tennessee was never going to be allowed to win this game because Georgia winning potentially massively benefits the SEC in their likely CFP berths. Every week of the CFP rankings, it just looks to me like they're shuffling teams around with the primary aim of keeping a sufficient number of SEC teams in orbit around the top 12. If I weren't mentally ill and permanently obsessed with Tech football, games like tonight's would likely have already driven me away from watching sports altogether.

Honestly I wonder if this is going to backfire at some point, it's basically now semi-pro and not even related to college anymore. It's not fun or enjoyable like it used to be, but will it kill it off or will it keep going
 
At least Roddy is calling the KU BYU game

...with whom?
 
It’ll be interesting to see what the selection committee comes up with next week regarding Bama, Ole Miss, GA, and TN. All 2 losses in conference with various head-to-head results. If A&M beats TX then there’s the potential for six teams all tied at 6-2 prior to the SECCG.

Tech can knock one of those teams out of contention the day after Thanksgiving.

I think that short of a whistleblower, and subsequent proper scandal, the machine will plow on for a few more years while the 12-team format is still fresh and the tricks and shady practices of the networks (in collusion with their preferred conference partners) are less apparent to fans. But it won't last, and I doubt we'll ever again see another ten year period without a serious shakeup in conferences, postseason format, non-conference scheduling, whatever is left that can be twisted and squeezed for more cash to the right people.
 
Say what you want, the SEC takes care of their own! It's simply amazing all the calls and the non-calls that benefited the Dwags tonight in their game with the Vols. I hate those sumbitches, their fans and the conference they play in. But like I said the SEC TAKES CARE OF THEIR OWN!! THWG!!!
