The funny thing is I am telling them what they want to hear:

Dawggy: Yeah, that Texas schedule is weak as shit!

tOSU guys: Yeah, well Texas shouldn't be ranked 3rd.

Dawggy: Yeah, Texas has to beat ATM or they are out.

tOSU guys: Yeah, well Texas shouldn't be ranked 3rd.

Dawggy: Yeah, Texas caught a break on the schedule this year ... they are getting treated like IU.

tOSU guys: Yeah, well Texas shouldn't be ranked 3rd.

Dawggy: JCF.

If its 1 game i'd agree but I think you can even admit that UGA is not very attractive to the eye test this year.

Ohio State has not been at times either, we damn near blew it against Nebraska.

My main point is nobody is that great this year, anyone pretending otherwise is laughable,

Depends on the game ... they looked great against Texas and Clemson, 2nd half of Bama. I've said many times we are down, and I've said many times every team has its warts this year.

Honestly it depends on who you consider a "conference leader". Over the last decade, OSU and PSU have been the only really consistent mainstays. Some years you see Iowa, Wisconsin, or Michigan State jump up and have a 10+ win season but just not with any consistency. If you're talking about OSU, yeah it would have been Purdue back in 2018.

I was meaning the conference leaders in a given year. Example: This year I would consider Oregon, Ohio State, Penn State and Indiana as "conference leaders". Obviously Indiana wouldn't be considered one over a span like the last decade.

I do remember several years where the B1G West representative wasn't very good at all. And if they were included as "leaders", there are probably several games the middle/bottom teams beat some of them. Other than those, the Purdue win over tOSU is the only one I can remember. I think Michigan lost some games to "middle/lower" but those games were the years where they weren't very good or considered a conference leader. I can't remember Penn State losing to any middle/lower. There may be others but I'm too lazy to go look it up. I'm pretty sure it happens more often in the SEC, but that may not be the case because of how many there have been this year. Just might seem that way.

Boise State is a likely playoff team so not sure that's exactly making the point you want. Idaho struggle was bad but they've also redeemed themselves obviously. IU has had exactly one game that wasn't a 14+ point blowout, so again, not really proving much. Also while michigan is shit, they're still better than Kentucky and Miss State, for fucks sake.

BSU is the G6 candidate. That's the point. There isn't a team getting into the CFP that wouldn't want that matchup game 1.

So, you want to dismiss Oregon's bad play because they have redeemed themselves. Listen, just start typing SEC sucks, B1G is great, because that is what this has been reduced to at this point.

I'm not sure people are saying there aren't any good SEC teams, but this seems more of a response to constantly hearing how the SEC is going to get 6, even 7 CFP teams when they sure as hell don't deserve to.

Read your and the other tSOU fans posts in here ... you've now laid out exactly how shitty all the SEC teams are. And you just defended Michigan. Michigan, for fucks sake. SEC Derangement Syndrome is real.

No one here is saying the SEC should get 6 or 7. Hyperbole. We are and should get 4. And 5 is possible if the SEC teams win out, and IU gets killed. That's all anyone is saying.
 
I'm through arguing with you guys today. Picking up the grandson and son-in-law to go eat and go to a high school playoff game. This is the first year I've lived in DFW. High school football here is unbelievable. Been to several regular high school games in the area this year. Really looking forward to playoffs. Not used to seeing this much frickin' talent. Used to seeing 3-4 players like this. Not 30 of them.

Argue with y'all tomorrow.

I was actually thinking the opposite for the SEC. I don't remember the last time a team of Vandy's caliber beat one of their top 10 teams. Bama has a major Jekyll/Hyde thing going this year so who the hell knows how good they are, but it was still probably the biggest upset in the SEC that I can recall in a while. Would it have been 2021 A&M over Bama?

I'm not dismissing Oregon's poor game against Idaho whatsoever. It was the first game of the year, and I'd argue they're playing significantly tremendous ball, but I wouldn't say they're an overwhelmingly elite team above the rest of the top 10. Your last sentence is just being petulant.
 
WhosYourDawggy said:
Until your mid teams, or even your top teams start beating the SEC teams regularly, I'm going with the SEC is better. I listed all the reasons the other day why the SEC gets the benefit of the doubt. Wins some NCs and beat some SEC teams. You will get your chance starting in a little over a month.

You guys act like there is no reason that people assume that the SEC teams are better when there is ample reason for people to think so, not just "it's ESPN bias."

I'm ok with assuming that Bama and UGA are better because they've earned that benefit of the doubt recently. I've said that multiple times. The other teams not so much. LSU won in 2019 but 2019 is a long time ago now.

Good to see you abandoned your bullshit claims from yesterday after you got called out

Army is getting the G5 spot if they beat ND and win out. I dont think its gonna happen but they would get it over Boise in that situation.

Blah, blah, blah ... I have no idea what you are talking about. Exactly what bullshit claims have I abandoned? JFC. Seriously, I don't care. If you think you got one over on me, congrats.
 
WhosYourDawggy said:
You've long advocated here in these posts that the #5 seed is advantageous because you get the G5 team (BSU) then the CC of the weakest P4.

So which is it ... it BSU at 12, for a reason, a very good team or not? This should be interesting.

Seriously? Assuming you are correct, is this place the highlight of your day or something. JFC. The funny thing is I am probably the one person here who most likely and often admits it when he says something wrong.

And, now looking at what you are blabbering about, I am not sure what you think you did or said. You've been talking about the #5 seed all the time. Where did I contradict that today? Nothing you posted in your posts show a contradiction by me. I think you are confused or drunk.

This would be the year some jerkoff like BYU or SMU wins it all.

What's wrong with that? I have no idea why so many B1G and SEC folks don't want to include other conferences in a NATIONAL Championship. Otherwise, let's just have the SEC Champion play the B1G Champion in the Rose Bowl every year and leave it at that. :)
