Chairman straight up said that a&m was still a quality win for miss st
A&M will have as many dudes drafted into the NFL as Oregon this year. that team is super talented. plus they've had top 5 recruiting classes the last couple of years.
i'd take their roster over anyone in the big 10 or pac 12.

And this has nothing to do with this year's playoff.....
Anyways. College football as far back as I could remember, if you were number 1,you stayed there no matter what until you lost.
But yet they put a team that lost to ole miss, and barely got past Arkansas and lsu. They put a team in front of them who lost to Auburn, which lost 3 games.
Makes no sense. Call me biased but Florida state should still be #1. But I'm not that mad about it, Bama has another loss coming, and Oregon might struggle with osu.
not likely to happen unless black folks decide to move outta the south in large numbers. the reason the SEC dominates is largely becausee they have the geographic advantage. the best athletes are in the south because most black folks live in the south. highly unlikely all those great athletes coming outta louisiana or florida decide to leave the south and head up to ohio state or oregon. some might but not enough to shift the balance of power.
best athletes come from the black community. and the black community still heavily resides in the south. until that changes, the SEC will ALWAYS dominate college football.
A&M gave 59 to Bama and scored 0 that's a quality team but TCU giving up 61 and scoring 58 is looked down upon. Oh that SEC bias.
Like winning the Ship last year....oops my bad that was FSU.
but those are the most important positions in football outside of QB. and in some cases more important than QB since thats 10 dudes vs. just one. a team with a dominant o-line and d-line will always be good. dominating the trenches is what wins football games both in college and the nfl.
I could make excuses for every loss an SEC team suffers but that still doesn't change the fact they lost. Wisconsin and LSU played this year and LSU won. PERIOD.
that LSU squad is now at the cellar of the SEC West and Wisconsin is looking to play in the big 10 title game against Ohio State.
men lie. women lie. straight up facts DONT.

Stopped reading. You didn't watch the game.

check my other post on the NFL top 100 list from last year. 20 dudes outta the top 100 came from the SEC. most of any conference by a decent margin. they even mentioned it during the telecast if you watch that show on NFL Network.
to me that is a pretty good measure that the SEC dominates even at the top of the NFL. does this mean every great NFL player is from the SEC? no. does it mean every SEC player goes on to dominate the NFL? no. BUT if you look at the top players in the league, you'll find more players coming from SEC schools than any other conference. THAT IS A FACT. get over it.
true. but it influences the perception football people have of the SEC. if the SEC continually dominates the national title game, puts the most players in the league, recruits the top players from high school. they ya'll shouldn't be surprised if they're given the benefit of the doubt.
no one questions alabama barely beating arkansas or lsu because of their track record. they've won the most national titles in recent memory, recruited the top kids from high school, and put the most dudes into the nfl.
its rather simple to see why the comittee has no problem putting them at #1 even if they barely beat Arkansas.
I've never in my life of watching college football even heard of this "game control" metric. Last year would have been the perfect time to dust off this BS metric when Auburn was out there winning games on tipped hail marry's and failed fg returns....but instead....we got the "never count them out....team of destiny" narrative. For some reason those "soft factors" that meant so much as late as this January, no longer matters...
nikka I'mma FSU fan. I like Jameis. I like their squad. I personally think they should be #2 behind Alabama and think they can beat anyone in the country except Alabama.
also schools like FSU/Miami/Clemson are de facto SEC schools IMO. sure they are not in the SEC, but they still are southern schools that recruit from the same talent pool as the SEC schools and have the same geographic advantage.
the problem for FSU/Miami/Clemson is that not every school in their conference is in the deep south, so they don't have the benefit that almost every school in the SEC gets when it comes to recruiting.
like I said earlier. until black folks decide to move outta the south in large numbers and relocate to other parts of the country, the SEC (and schools in the south like FSU and Miami) will ALWAYS dominate.
