I also looked at the New Years Six for the first time, and realized our poor Cuog friends legitimately got fucked.
3 loss #11 LSU gets the Fiesta Bowl
3 loss #10 Florida gets the Peach Bowl
4 loss #15 Texas gets the Sugar Bowl
2 loss #13 Cooooogs get the shaft and the Alamo Bowl.
So yeah, just reason #4,829 and 4,830 why Larry Scott can fuck himself.

Safe to say the selection committee reads these boards
Pup’s poor prognostications have tainted his entire PAC>SEC rant. As a result, the league has zero credibility, leaving the Coug out in the cold. All because of Pumpeii’s gross negligence.
Shameful!
The ccg needs to be on a Saturday. The Friday night rush hour shit is stupid. Confence usa or whatever conference that is has the Saturday afternoon spot and that is what we should take. But we won't because Larry Scott is a fucktard and he thinks he has it all figured out.
Doing vegas would help but what it comes down to is the west coast doesn't give a shit compared to other areas. We are spread out like the acc who has had some poorly attended ccg's as well. Vegas may help, but it's still likely always going to trail the other conferences in attendance based off of geography and the short notice.
Subscriptions have never been higher?
Weird.
I guess maybe start at 5EST and hope viewers switch to the end after the SEC CCG is over.
Oh.
