Pretty much a regular
I mean the playoff system is the best we have had .. of course NIL, Portal and all that has ruined the game.
AgreedNone of the 4 semifinal teams would have even played for the BCS championship when they were taking two teams. That would have been Georgia vs Oregon.
I think that in and of itself sort makes this a better system. It isn't perfect but it is the best we have had so far.
Acc was 1-10 are this postseason! Lol.ACC has more of a gripe not getting 3 teams in than SEC. Wow
Exactly.This was the 4 team playoff format results before going to 12 teams...
In 2014 Oregon beat Florida St by 39 and OSU beat Oregon by 22
In 2015 Clemson beat Oklahoma by 20 and Alabama beat Mich St by 38
In 2016 Alabama beat Washington by 17 and Clemson beat Ohio state by 31
In 2017 Alabama beat Clemson by 18
In 2018 Clemson beat Notre Dame by 27 and then Clemson beat Alabama by 38
In 2019 LSU beat Oklahoma by 35 and LSU beat Clemson by 17
In 2020 Alabama beat ND by 17 and OSU beat Clemson by 21 then Alabama beat OSU by 28
In 2021 Alabama beat Cincy by 21 and Georgia beat Michigan by 23 then Georgia beat Alabama by 15
In 2022 Georgia beat TCU by 58 in the championship
In 2023 Michigan beat Washington by 21 points in the championship
How is this year any different than the previous years? Expanding to 12 teams did not water down the product. There have always been blowouts. It's football and teams sometimes can get their souls taken and quit. It is the beauty of football.
A lot of opt outs. Ward of Miami Fla would've played if in CFP. Georgia wasn't even the best team in their own state and Ga. Tech had opt outs lol.Acc was 1-10 are this postseason! Lol.
This doesn't even count USC over LSU lolIt's now official. Big10 went 5-1 vs SEC post season. OSU and ND are a combined 4-0 vs SEC. All the Indiana haters that say they didn't belong can now see their only 2 losses were on the road to the final 2 teams.
Although Bama won at Wisc with no QBThis doesn't even count USC over LSU lol
Ward played until he got his record.A lot of opt outs. Ward of Miami Fla would've played if in CFP. Georgia wasn't even the best team in their own state and Ga. Tech had opt outs lol.
I'd take a fully invested Miami Fla over any SEC leftovers.Ward played until he got his record.
They gave up 40+ points.
Worst defense of any top 50 team in the country.
Acc was bad.
They'd still be better than most SEC teams that " got left out".Ward played until he got his record.

SEC wasn't up to standard par or yesteryear but Miami had so many warts...They'd still be better than most SEC teams that " got left out".
Bring the humility to the table.Lot of money burnt on SEC so far. Not by me of course.
I do not doubt it.Texas will be a lot better than OU going forward as we are allowed to pay for players now too.
in the big 8Nebraska vs OU was the big game.
in the big 8
Back when we had driveable road games
Day after Turkey Day when I was young a few special ones ..Didn't Texas suck balls for most of the 80s and 90s. I don't ever remember even thinking about Texas as a kid and I certainly don't remember anyone giving a shit about the red river shootout. Nebraska vs OU was the big game.

Going to be interesting.The SECDS is as widespread as TDS.
Georgia, Alabama and Texas are sitting home during the championship.
I thought I was the one happy about it.
However, the SEC is living rent free in the heads of more people around the country than I could’ve ever imagined.
I can’t wait to see how the next 10 years play out. When your biggest threat makes mistakes you sit back and observe in silence, you don’t poke the bear.
Humility…… = Motivation
All of the above is true.Going to be interesting.
The money is up north (obviously a Tamu and Texas can easily compete on that level).
Let's see how things evolve with NIL, revenue sharing and whatnot.
Things will settle a bit.
Interesting times, no doubt.
Facts!Didn't Texas suck balls for most of the 80s and 90s. I don't ever remember even thinking about Texas as a kid and I certainly don't remember anyone giving a shit about the red river shootout. Nebraska vs OU was the big game.
I think Texas was in the SWAC or something like that when we were that age. NU and Oklahoma would bring so many players to games that there were 2 players wearing the same number back then.Didn't Texas suck balls for most of the 80s and 90s.

step out of the conversation if that was your takeI think Texas was in the SWAC
Thread aged like a fine wine. Nobody saw this coming except me.Bro is in here beating his chest about a one off fucking year that Indiana got in the playoffs and got bounced.
Let him keep cooking
About as fine as a wine made in IndianaThread aged like a fine wine. Nobody saw this coming except me.
