at propping up Clemson over the Vols and using a win vs an overrated ND as justification

Some of yall letting yall bias show all over the place

You don't even begin to understand how stupid this argument is.

Do you seriously think that Tennessee has beaten someone better than Notre Dame? Other than Clemson, Notre Dame's ONLY losses are to #3 Ohio State and #10 Louisville. Who the fukk has Tennessee beat that compares to Notre Dame?

Hell, Clemson's 2nd best win (8-3 North Carolina) is better than Tennessee's best win too.


Note how you didn't even try to argue Tennessee's easier schedule, Tennessee's four blowout losses, Tennessee damn near not winning a road game all year, or Clemson going to overtime against a top-5 team. By EVERY criteria, Clemson has done more than Tennessee has.

Iowa's QB is built like an overweight fullback.

7-4 Clemson has beaten ranked 8-3 Notre Dame as well as an 8-3 North Carolina team that was ranked until Clemson beat them last week. 3 of their 4 losses went down to the final possession, including an overtime loss to #5 Florida State, a double-overtime loss on the road against Miami, and a close loss on the road to ranked 8-3 NC State. They were willing to schedule two solid OOC matchups (Notre Dame and South Carolina) and played more road games than Tennessee did.

7-4 Tennessee hasn't beaten any ranked teams, in fact, they've only beaten two teams with winning records all season (Texas A&M and Kentucky), and they barely won both of those games. All four of their losses were blowouts, the closest of which was an embarrassing 29-16 loss to a mediocre Florida squad where a missed Gator field goal and a late Tennessee touchdown were the only reason the game was within 20. They only played 4 road games all season (went 1-3), and all four of their OOC matchups were cupcakes, with the only Big 5 squad on the schedule being a terrible Virginia team.

And yet somehow the playoff committee put that worthless Tennessee team 3 spots ahead of Clemson in the rankings. Worse schedule, worse wins, worse losses, worse margins....by EVERY criteria Tennessee should be below them. Yet they're not....solely because they are listed as an SEC team.


Thank you for giving me such a clear opportunity to make my case.

You're seriously going to ask me why I focused on Tennessee and not Clemson?

FOH.

Your only anti SEC argument this year is that UT is overranked like it actually matters

Is this all your got

There are more legitimate arguments with the rankings than UT.

You down bad because you can’t right paragraphs about the SEC being overrated this year

Read back in the thread one page, you poorly-educated dumbass. Way to shoot yourself in the foot yet again.

I already gave you multiple paragraphs about how a whole slew of SEC teams have been overrated this year. Maybe if I went to Alabama, I could "right paragraphs" though.

Is that all "your got"?

 

[AVXL]

Wrong, for most of them it's 3-4. I already listed those schedules the first time we had this argument.






That fukking circular reasoning yet again! This is the FOURTH time in this conversation that you've used the fact they're ranked to justify the fact they're ranked.

And the fact that more SEC teams are ranked is meaningless when they don't play those teams. This is how pointless those "6 ranked SEC teams" are when you look at the actual schedule:

Georgia only had 3 ranked SEC teams on their schedule this year, and one of them was Tennessee who shouldn't be ranked.
Alabama only had 3 ranked SEC teams on their schedule this year, and one of them was Tennessee who shouldn't be ranked.
Ole Miss only had 3 ranked SEC teams on their schedule this year.
LSU only had 3 ranked SEC teams on their schedule this year.

You're bragging about "They have to play cupcakes cause their in-conference schedule is so hard!", yet they only play 2 or 3 legit ranked teams in-conference all year!


Meanwhile, UW in the "easy Pac-12" has played a tougher in-conference schedule than any of those SEC teams, having to beat three top-15 squads in Oregon, Oregon State, and Arizona, plus Utah and USC teams who would both be ranked right now if they hadn't played such tough schedules (9 in-conference games including facing 4 ranked teams each). Yet despite that much tougher in-conference schedule, UW only scheduled 1 OOC cupcake rather than the 3-4 cupcakes that SEC teams schedule.

All of your narratives are based on lies.

Washington has beat as many currently ranked teams as UGA (3)
Oregon has NO wins against teams that are currently ranked (that could change tonight)

I could do the same thing and play this same game of critiquing teams schedule and disqualify them based on my own subjective reasoning. You’ve done the same for weeks now

at USC and Utah should be ranked if they didn’t have “such tough schedules”.
oh noez not a tough schedule! They’re not ranked b/c they’re not good, not in the bizzaro world you occupy where bad teams get ranked and good teams don’t

You have a bias vs the SEC, it’s ok to admit it

 

[Drake's Tan]

Seen in the crowd of Iowa-Nebraska

 

[KingsnBucs1987]

Nebraska muffs punt and Iowa recovers it in the red zone.

Iowa goes for a field goal attempt and gets blocked

Yep that sounds like Iowa and Nebraska as of late

Yea Clemson has played better recently than UT, which explains why theyre close to them in the rankings, “but let’s not act like a win vs an unranked UNC team is a good win now.

 

[Professor Emeritus]

Washington has best as many currently ranked teams as UGA fact (3)

BECAUSE THE RANKINGS ARE fukkED UP IN FAVOR OF THE SEC. THIS IS THE FIFTH TIME YOU'VE USED THE SAME fukkING CIRCULAR ARGUMENT.


Georgia has 3 ranked wins only because they get to count a win over a 7-4 Tennessee squad that got blown out by Florida.

Washington has been limited to 3 ranked wins only because they don't get to count a win over 7-4 Utah....who just happens to have kicked Florida's ass.



Utah has two wins (UCLA and USC on the road) better than Tennessee's best win, their losses were better than Tennessee's losses, they played a tougher OOC schedule than Tennessee, they played more road games than Tennessee, AND THEY BEAT THE fukk OUT OF THE SAME TEAM TENNESSEE GOT WHUPPED BY.


In reality, UW should have 4 wins over ranked teams, and Georgia should only have 2. TWICE as many. But it gets to be 3 and 3 because of those fukked up overrated SEC teams, which is the whole point.

Please, explain to me how the fukk Tennessee is good and Utah is not, especially when Utah has better wins, no bad losses, a harder schedule, and whupped one of the teams that beat Tennessee.

Make just ONE argument for Tennessee being more deserving of a ranking than Utah. I really want to hear this shyt.

How are the rankings in favor of the SEC?

How are the rankings in favor of the SEC?

The only thing worse than watching the rankings committee favor SEC squads is then trying to explain that to people educated at SEC schools.
