SEC (It just means more.. even its losses are wins)

[Jaxbuck]

In 2002 when OSU was struggling to beat a better schedule than Miami was playing, the low margin of victory was used against us unmercifully.

CFB is broken

CFB is broken - Everyone is gushing over Indiana, and the Hoosiers are #2 in the AP poll. They’ve only beaten one team in the Top 28 of the AP poll if you conti

Auburn fan is whining because the Big Ten teams haven't played or beaten enough ranked teams.
Here's where we need that diagram showing that SEC teams' rankings are inflated because they play SEC teams that have inflated rankings.

Same poster, but not the first post in the thread:

Our entire playoff was a joke last year because we let Indiana, SMU, etc in because for some reason the CFB world wants to pretend that playing Wake Forest and Boston College is no different than playing Tennessee and LSU.

Someone else says:

These rankings dont matter, it will all get sorted out in the playoffs.

To which, the original guy responds:

Like last season?

So, okay, let's look at what Auburn did in the non-conference. You know... the part of the schedule that a team can choose.
Alabama A&M
California (lost)
New Mexico
UL Monroe
All home games.

1. Get the voters to stop inflating the SEC rankings and then you'll see more ranked Big Ten teams playing more ranked Big Ten teams.
2. Stop paying attention to the AP rankings to determine strength of schedule.

Damn. I would have loved to have played LSU last year. Result might have been more fun than the Tennessee game.

Laughable? Who should have been the 4th SEC team?
Georgia, Texas, and Tennessee got in with 2 losses each. Texas's second loss was in the conference championship game.
Missouri and Ole Miss each had 3 losses.
Alabama had 3 losses.

And who do you replace?
Oregon, Clemson, Boise, and Arizona State won their conferences - automatically in.
Penn State had 2 losses - the second was in the conference championship game.
Ohio State had 2 losses - one by 1 point to the #1 team, and another was just a weirdo fluke.
SMU had 2 losses - the second was in the conference championship game.
Indiana had 1 loss.
Notre Dame had 1 loss.

I can't imagine a single argument for Missouri, Ole Miss, or Alabama over any of those teams.
And "SEC > Everyone Else" just makes them look stupid.

Zurp, y’all just don’t understand how those SEC losses were “good losses” and not the kind that those other teams had.

OSU lost last year ..SEC said don’t put them this . 3 loss SEC teams come on down. The learned nothing from our beat down of Tennessee and Texas.
