I'm curious about how the Bama AD plans to make that OOC schedule any softer.

Local High Schools in his cross hairs? 9 year old girls flag football teams? Special Olympics?

The Little Sisters of the Poor is a time-honored move in Chicken-shit scheduling.

SEC! SEC! SEC!

SCHEDULE EASY CUPCAKES! SCHEDULE EASY CUPCAKES! SCHEDULE EASY CUPCAKES!

They could’ve afforded that loss (2019 UGA lost to 4-8 South Carolina) but losing to sun belt billy in addition to that killed their chance

I'm not an SEC fan.
I'm an LSU fan.

the entire rest of the SEC can choke to death on AIDs infested Camel Cocks.

To borrow a phrase from The Captain, I think what we've got here is failure to communicate. See, the average SEC fan cannot comprehend an SEC team that's not playoff caliber. It would be like water that isn't wet. They just cannot exist. As a result, when someone tells them that the losses to Oklahoma and Vanderbilt kept Alabama out, they just don't understand what is being said. It comes across as just a meaningless combination of words. All they hear is "losses", to which their reflexive response is "but what about the strength of schedule?"

A true Bama fan knows that they scored a TD at Oklahoma on a great catch in the EZ by Ryan Williams, and that it was taken away on a total BS ineligible receiver call, since Williams was not covered up on the line.

OK, back to mocking them.

I used to watch pretty much everything the college football nerds put out the last couple of years, right up until early this football season

I feel like they jumped off the SEC deep end. Their whiney opinions and attitudes have been nails on a chalkboard for me this year and I stopped listening to them. You can only listen to so much of an incessant opinion that they try to drive into the ground

Goodman: Should Alabama join the ACC?

The cold winter is here, but so are the hot takes.
www.al.com www.al.com

The 12-team playoff is set and Alabama is out. For the Crimson Tide, it’s all over but the shout’n. The cold winter is here, but the fans are on fire. We’ll leave the post-practice ice cream to coach Kalen DeBoer. The mailbag is serving up flaming-hot takes.Did being a member of the SEC go from living the dream to being a major liability in less than 24 hours? Why would any current SEC team want to remain in the SEC when the likes of Alabama, Ole Miss, South Carolina and Mizzou (not to mention LSU, Texas A&M, Oklahoma and Auburn) are sitting at home while Indiana, Boise State, Arizona State, Clemson (who just lost to the No.5 SEC team) and mighty SMU (which just lost to Clemson and has not a single win against a ranked opponent) go to the playoffs?

If South Carolina had been in the ACC, they would have made the playoffs this year. If Alabama had been in the Big 12, they would have been in as well. The same would have been true for Mississippi if they had been in the Mountain West. Why go through the meat grinder that is the SEC every week when you can cruise to an automatic bid to the CFP in any of the other cupcake conferences?


The bottom line (and it is an ugly truth to be sure) is that the other conferences outside of the SEC and Big Ten are no longer viable as they exist today. The Pac-12 teams figured this out pretty quickly and bolted for the Big Ten where Oregon is currently the No.1 team in the country. If the SEC wants to maintain its position as the league’s premiere conference as well as its ability to command six to eights spots in the CFP annually, then it needs to either greatly expand by absorbing the best teams in the ACC and Big 12. That should effectively slam the door in the face of the Big Ten to most of the best players in the Southeast, and would allow the SEC to create real playoff-caliber teams or break off from the NCAA all together and form its own league.


The alternative is to sit by and idly watch the SEC’s current membership start to wonder what could have been in one of the cupcake conferences, which I don’t believe is what Disney paid billions of dollars for.


Rick in Hopewell Junction, N.Y., writes …

Since the committee is infatuated with win-loss records, if Alabama wants to be in the playoffs going forward, the path is simple. Make a deal with the ACC that they will join their conference on the condition that they get to play the same conference schedule that SMU played this year. Then schedule Nevada, Houston Christian and BYU as non-conference games. They should certainly be able to manage getting through with no more than one loss and be in the ACC championship game. Even if they lose it, they’ll make the playoffs.

ANSWER: No one had “Alabama should join the ACC” on their bingo cards to begin this unprecedented season of college football, but here we are, eating ice cream in the rain.



I’m going to assume that all the blasphemy about Alabama skipping out on the SEC is just rhetorical overreaction to being left out of the playoffs. Maybe FSU and Alabama can swap schedules next season?



If Greg Byrne files a lawsuit against commissioner Greg Sankey and the SEC, then we’ll know things are getting serious.



Byrne said this week that Alabama is going to think twice about scheduling non-conference games against Power 4 opponents, but I wouldn’t shake my saber too wildly in the direction of the College Football Playoff corruption committee. If the CFP can cave to public pressure when it comes to SMU, there’s no telling how those guys will react to threats from ADs.

this is the part that has me laughing the hardest.

they keep talking about how hard the schedule was and they'll quit playing tough games.
you lost to fucking VANDERBILT and OKLAHOMA.
and Oklahoma absolutely skull fucked you.

had you only lost close games to the "tough" teams on your schedule, ok then maybe, maybe you could cry a little.
but you didn't.

you lost to Vandy (who lost to Georgia State).
you lost to Oklahoma (who got rolled by every SEC team with a pulse).
Ole miss, you lost to fucking Kentucky (a school that doesn't even know football season exists).

Quit bitching and handle business.
