Hey dumbfuck... Are you gonna give the ACC shit? Oh wait, they aren't winning championships. So you can't really be jealous of them like the SEC.Fire_Marshall_Bill said:
That's one fucking year. You're completely missing the long term trend. This didn't start in 2012. Do I need to dredge out the OOC schedules from 2006, 2007, 2008 etc.?

2013 FSU: @Pitt, Nevada, Bethune-Cookman, Florida (SEC teams don't play anyone, though)
2012 Notre Dame: Independent school. Argument isn't valid here. Definitely earned their spot, but got raped by Bama.
2011: The infamous all-SEC title game... Bama played at Penn St. and LSU beat Oregon OOC
2010 Oregon: New Mexico, @Tennessee (SEC teams don't play anyone, though), Portland St.
2009 Texas: Louisiana-Monroe, @Wyoming, UTEP, Central Florida
2008: Chattanooga, Cincinnati, UW (0-12 baby!!!), TCU
2007 Ohio St: Youngstown St. Akron, @Washington , Kent St.
2006 Ohio St: Northern Illinois, @Texas, Cincinnati, Bowling Green
2003 Oklahoma: North Texas, @Alabama (SEC teams don't play anyone, though), UCLA
1998 FSU: Texas A/M, USC, @Miami, Florida (one loss team, but also played the toughest schedule on this list)
As you can see, most of the teams that "earned" their trip to the title game versus SEC opponents played cupcake schedules OOC, save for 1998 FSU, 2003 Oklahoma, and Notre Dame in 2012.
PLSS I understand. I don't know why Bill is such a retard about it though.

All of the conferences have been doing it for a while, save for the Pac. We came on late.
I also find it interesting how the SEC played more power conference OOC opponents than the Big 12, Big 10 and Pac 12 over the period between 2007-2012.
FCS opponents
ACC: 13 in 2012, 13 in 2011, 13 in 2010, 14 in 2009, 14 in 2008 and 7 in 2007, for a total of 74.

In defense of the SEC haters, this data actually helps their argument, at least vis a vis the Pac12. Yes, the Pac played four less power opponents in those six cumulative years, but that's out of a significantly smaller pool of non conference games. The SEC had two more teams than the Pac the majority of those seasons (all but one IIRC) and plays four non conference games versus the Pac's three. So if the SEC played 85 games in that period, that's roughly 1.07 power conference non conference games per team per season, or about 26.5% of their non conference games.PurpleJ said:

Yeah, they don't play anyone.
The Pac's 81 non conference games with power conference opponents, OTOH, breaks down to roughly 1.3 per team per season. And the 81 was out of roughly 246 non conference games, for a rate of 32.9% of their games with power conference foes.
Whereas I was inclined to agree with APAG and yourself before this debate, your numbers actually have me leaning slightly more towards Bill's way of thinking. Good research. -

Is that an excuse? The SEC is the "best" conference in the land. Not just the SEC "west". Roadie, Mizzou came within a cunt hair from beating Auburn of the almighty "west". The same team WSU came within a cunt hair of beating at Jordan hare. Cough up that SEC semen roaddoogs.RoadDawg55 said:Not arguing about the SEC, but Missouri got to the SEC title game because they didn't play Alabama, LSU, or Auburn in the regular season. They also play in the SEC East which was shit last year. Florida and Georgia sucked. South Carolina was decent, but nothing special.

I'm not going to argue that the Pac doesn't schedule the toughest OOC schedules. All I'm saying, is that the SEC is not much different than the other power conferences.

2006 Ohio St: Northern Illinois, @Texas, Cincinnati, Bowling Green
2003 Oklahoma: North Texas, @Alabama (SEC teams don't play anyone, though), UCLA
1998 FSU: Texas A/M, USC, @Miami, Florida (one loss team, but also played the toughest schedule on this list)
As you can see, most of the teams that "earned" their trip to the title game versus SEC opponents played cupcake schedules OOC, save for 1998 FSU, 2003 Oklahoma, and Notre Dame in 2012.
PLSS I understand. I don't know why Bill is such a retard about it though.

All of the conferences have been doing it for a while, save for the Pac. We came on late.
I also find it interesting how the SEC played more power conference OOC opponents than the Big 12, Big 10 and Pac 12 over the period between 2007-2012.

Yeah, they don't play anyone.
The Pac's 81 non conference games with power conference opponents, OTOH, breaks down to roughly 1.3 per team per season. And the 81 was out of roughly 246 non conference games, for a rate of 32.9% of their games with power conference foes.
Whereas I was inclined to agree with APAG and yourself before this debate, your numbers actually have me leaning slightly more towards Bill's way of thinking. Good research. -
You could make the same argument for the amount of FCS games they play. More OOC games means they play less FCS teams per school.Fire_Marshall_Bill said:
LOL, you're ignoring the fact they have more teams and play more out of conference games. Try again.PurpleJ said:
Hey dumbfuck... Are you gonna give the ACC shit? Oh wait, they aren't winning championships. So you can't really be jealous of them like the SEC.Fire_Marshall_Bill said:
That's one fucking year. You're completely missing the long term trend. This didn't start in 2012. Do I need to dredge out the OOC schedules from 2006, 2007, 2008 etc.? Like Puppy said, if every conference was treated equally every year, I wouldn't be bitching about it. That hasn't been the case though.allpurpleallgold said:
You're wasting your time with PLSS and Bill. I laid out last years OOC schedules and showed that the SEC played as tough or tougher of a schedule as anyone. They'll just ignore facts.PurpleJ said:Let's look at the OOC schedules of teams that played the SEC in the title game. Shall we?
2013 FSU: @Pitt, Nevada, Bethune-Cookman, Florida (SEC teams don't play anyone, though)
2012 Notre Dame: Independent school. Argument isn't valid here. Definitely earned their spot, but got raped by Bama.
2011: The infamous all-SEC title game... Bama played at Penn St. and LSU beat Oregon OOC
2010 Oregon: New Mexico, @Tennessee (SEC teams don't play anyone, though), Portland St.
2009 Texas: Louisiana-Monroe, @Wyoming, UTEP, Central Florida
2008: Chattanooga, Cincinnati, UW (0-12 baby!!!), TCU
2007 Ohio St: Youngstown St. Akron, @Washington , Kent St.
2006 Ohio St: Northern Illinois, @Texas, Cincinnati, Bowling Green
2003 Oklahoma: North Texas, @Alabama (SEC teams don't play anyone, though), UCLA
1998 FSU: Texas A/M, USC, @Miami, Florida (one loss team, but also played the toughest schedule on this list)

Yeah, they don't play anyone.

Fuck your tide, they have 12 returning starters, a 6-5 statue in Cocker who hasn't tickled a centers balls and everyone (ESPN, the owner of the college football ripoff) is projecting them #1. Don't let Georgia, SC or Auburn get in the way.
Nobody is getting out of the pac12 alive (Unless your Oregon with a Nike schedule). Someone will get out of the SEC undefeated because it's only 6-deep. Then a second SEC team will get in over a 1 - loss pac12 team because of the ESPN lobby. Just watch. Again, fuck your tide!
