Football The SEC... REALLY? - Page 9

The SEC is head and shoulders above all others.
The SEC has been and will continue to be.
The SEC has the most direct link to the NFL.
The SEC has a lot of schools that are also to the beach with the best climate.
So the SEC will get the best players of any conference.
There are just too many things the SEC has over all other conferences.

I live here in the SEC, literally hate it too. But I can not argue with any of this.

I just don't want games like Bama yesterday, KSUvs. AM back in 98', etc. to become irrelevant. The entire season is almost like a gigantic playoff in which every game counts.

4 team playoff allow the cream of the top conferences to make it in.

It wouldn't be irrelevant. It would have launched aTm back into the race. What you seem to want is a sport where half of the teams have nothing to play for after the first week, and 98% have nothing to play for by week 10.

By your logic, the season should have ended last year after Oklahoma State lost and left LSU as the last undefeated team.

I'll stay out of the anti-SEC fervor, because that's about as silly a discussion as I've seen on this board.

But to notorious' anti-playoffs stance, I want to lament what the national championship has done to college football. This single-minded obsession with winning the national title has perverted everything else. Nobody cares about conference titles, and that is a shame to me. Take for instance the mood in Tuscaloosa. The town feels post-apocalyptic this morning because Alabama basically can't win their 3rd national title in four years. Well boo ****ing hoo, Bama fans. The Crimson Tide still has an SEC championship to play for. That ought to mean something.

People are going to be pissed here when an SEC team gets into the BCSNC game while some undefeated team is sitting at home. Like Oregon, K-State, or ND.

Oh, wow. Your bravery extends all the way up to the point where you actually risk something.

It's a message board. What are we really risking? You wanna meet in the street for some roshambo action to the loser?

1-loss Bama or Georgia could (and probably should) get in over an undefeated Notre Dame. But they won't get in over an undefeated K-State or Oregon. Nor should they.

Why? Notre Dame's schedule is stronger than both Oregon's and K-State's and by seasons end will rate stronger than Alabama's. If you want to look at like opponents, compare K-State's game vs. OU against the Irish's. If all three end up undefeated, Notre Dame will have just as strong of an argument as either of the other two.

Who do you think Notre Dame is going to play that will be better than what Alabama will see in the conference championship game?

Go through the schedule. For every team ND has played, Bama has played a better team.
