OT: General CFB Thread

[Coco Cincinnati]

Alabama at 7 despite a loss to unranked Vandy.
LSU at 8 despite a loss to unranked USC.
UT at 10 despite a loss to unranked Ark.
ND at 11 despite a loss to unranked NIU.
All four of those ahead of undefeated ISU and BYU.
And I guarantee you, the CFP poll will be even more biased.

You can try and defend it all you want but the big 12 isn’t taken seriously by anyone outside the conference. We’re basically a group of 5 conference now, for football at least…

The Big 12 needs to win playoff games if it wants to be taken seriously.

The Big 12 needs to win playoff games if it wants to be taken seriously.

And therein lies the problem. If the Big 12 only gets 1 team into the playoffs while the SEC gets 4 teams in, then obviously the SEC is going to have more playoff wins.

That one B12 team had better win its games. Take OU for getting into the playoffs as the B12 champ and then getting blown out by SEC teams.

The Big XII had a finalist two years ago

What happened to them?

 

[KK10]

What happened to them?

They won more of their playoff games in 2 chances that OU/Texas have in their playoff history combined.

 

[Poke Rocker]

What happened to them?

I don’t think it mattered which team faced Georgia tin 2022! TCU and/or Michigan (TCU won of course) would have had a MUD HOLE STOMPED INTO THEM BY THAT GEORGIA TEAM WHICH IS JUST WHAT HAPPENED!!!

Again, the Big12 has to start winning playoff games if it wants to be respected.

And this was why the preseason polls are absurd.

Absolutely not. I don't care for the dismissive attitude that sidewalk SEC folks have toward other conferences, but I can read a scoreboard.

We’ve had playoffs for more than one year, but on point, what happened to the Big12 team last year?

 

[Georgia Poke]

I despise the power play underway by the SEC/Big10. Just because the core of those conferences was around a century ago when “clubs” formed doesn’t mean they should be the ones to decide everyone else’s fait and forever lock out an other schools from even being able to compete.

It’s downright un-American.

However, it’s like picking a fight back in high school. If you do it and lose, don’t whine about it.

They got beat by Washington then ran off to the SEC!!!
Unfortunately they are currently the number 1 ranked team in the Country!!!

Hopefully, alma mater #3 will end that this weekend.

I can’t remember which year it was that I was down in Austin when OSU played Texas that weekend and they had both events that same weekend, it didn’t seem to be a problem once the football game ended Saturday afternoon because many people cleared out of town after the game ended and didn’t interfere with the F1 race that next day (Sunday)!
