I'm not an SEC hater. I do believe the west is the best conference in CFB. The media is SO BIASED.

I'm gonna use Florida State as a prime example.

People want to cut them down struggling against NC State. Saying that Notre Dame win wasn't enough.

SEC fans saying that FSU would not be undefeated if they were in the west. I can agree with that. They would lose a game or 2 just like the rest of the teams in the west would So what's your point?

So this is the thing that bothers me the most. If FSU played Mississippi State this week and they lose. What would people be saying? "you see FSU can't hang in the SEC they don't deserve to be in the playoffs". So the other SEC teams gets a pass for losing to them, and still be alive for the playoffs? So your telling me the same Mississippi State team that gave up 31 points to a basketball school Kentucky struggled against them. Alabama could barely score on Arkansas!!! 14-13? Arkansas is terrible. They haven't won a SEC west game in 2 years. Nobody wants to mention that.

If Florida State would of struggled against Kentucky like Mississippi State did. If they would've beat a bad Arkansas team 14-13. What would people be saying? That FSU sucks because they barely beat a bottom of the barrel team in the SEC? Yet Alabama, and Mississippi State can get away with that??

Auburn got smashed by Mississippi State! Should of lost to Kansas State.

Using Florida State as an example again. What if they lost to Miss state the way Auburn did? barely beat a Kansas State team. What would people be saying?

FSU's problem is a matter of perception. They created a monster when they steamrolled through the regular season last year. A large portion of that team came back this year. So fans/media expect more of the same from last year But FSU is not stomping opponents this year like last year. Thus they are penalized for that.

Alabama beats a bad Arkansas team 14-13. They will talk about how tough the the conference is.

Apparently, not all feel that way....some realized it was a bad Arkansas team...and that pissed off ole Saban...lol

 

“It really, if you want to know the truth about it, pisses me off when I talk to people that have this expectation like they’re disappointed that we only won the game 14-13 and the way we played. That’s frustrating. You want to talk about something that’s frustrating? That’s frustrating to me, for our players, who play with a lot of heart in the game.”

What makes you say Arkansas is a bad team? They are a sure td fumbled through the endzone against bamr and a td negated by a holding call against A&M from being 6-2. Two plays. They may not be a good team but i wouldn't characterize them as bad. Mediocre maybe.

Which win thus far would you say is ND's best?


I would agree with pats and say Stanford. Most impressive game was loss to fsu. But notice I said if they win out. That would mean they also beat Az St, USC and Louisville. And they would definitely get in - both on results and the fact they would be the biggest draw in the playoffs.

They got screwed out of that FSU win. Clearly won the game on the field.

 

If they lose again, they will be dead in the water.

IMO, ND should never be eligible for the playoff until they start playing in a major conference. You shouldn't be able to "hand pick" your entire 12 game schedule and be eligible for National Championship.

 

This playoff system should have been 8 total teams to begin with. The five conference champions (ACC, Big 10, Big 12, Pac 12 and SEC) then 3 at-large teams.

 

The three at-large teams would come from the SEC West. ;) :D

The first rankings proved "power" conference affiliations are useless. Unless you're the SEC.

The best football I have seen this year was nd-fsu. I don't know that they are but I certainly don't know that they aren't. I would have them in my top four along with auburn, fsu and miss st. Auburn or miss st will fall out with Oregon replacing them by season's end if the ducks win out. Bama could end up in top 4 if they win sec.

The beauty of it and a reason this has been such an enjoyable season is that, unlike last years' FSU, there is no one team that stands out above the rest. Every top team has a flaw(s) of some kind. Any of the top 12 teams or so is capable of beating any other. And not as a "any given Saturday scenario.' But is truly capable. I could see TCU beating bamr, or Michigan State beating Auburn, or georgia beating Mississippi State.
