Soft, shivering SEC teams in sleeves getting exposed by the TUFF B1G in the cold

ummm….of course they can
N. Illinois beat ND this year.
-
under the pre-bcs system/tiebreakers it would have been Oregon-Indiana rose bowl. Which I personally would love but we can all admit would be a bullshit way to determine a champion.
-
Tell me about the other 99 games where Goliath beat David. And that was week 1, not after a full season.
-
There is a lot of money in CFB, so the more games and longer seasons help the machine. It just means I drink more beer and watch more football…darn

Actually, your complaint pretty much validates what the committee was tasked with doing.
Take the 12 best and seed them in such a manner that the best teams (to date) have the best chance to win the natty.
It isn't THAT hard to understand. If you don't like watching a blow out then don't. Nobody has a fucking gun to your head.
-
Gun to head? How bout a rolling pin? Been married?
-
Actually, the games are completely pointless because they are blowouts and the teams outside the top-5 in almost any season have no chance of winning the whole thing in CFB. It's a pointless money grab.
Also, based on what we saw this past weekend, are you really sure that the committee got it right with Indiana and SMU in the playoff? I don't think they did, even with all of the arguments against 'Bama, South Carolina, etc. -
I think there will be some upsets in the first round, this year just happened to be a stinker.
-
The right answer is usually the most obvious one. The first round stunk because the system sucks.
-
Now that we pay the players it’s okay to jeopardize their health with 17 game seasons and a shitty product.
-
While we're multiple levels deep in the hypotheticals, Oregon would have played a Pac-12 schedule. Guaranteed loss at Stanford or in the desert.
-
The only problem is giving byes to Boise State and to an extent ASU. Boise St. especially didn't earn that in the slightest.
-
it’s tims like where @SECDAWG would chime in and talk about how TUFF Gunner Stockton in the bitter cold. Puh
-
They’re 19 year old professional athletes, fuck em. Make them play twice a week.
-
I think a format of 6 teams. Top 2 get byes, prevents the 1 in a million scenario where the 6th ranked team might still be best and get left out. That still stretches it most years, but is still way better than 12.
-
yeah that’s what I was thinking. Stanford couldn’t beat anyone this year but this would have been a perfect good and greased ASU team to knock someone off
-
Boys State can too, as proven on the actual fucking field in Autzen
-
I don't think a second game between them would look the same as the preseason game. It took a while for the quook mercenaries to get their reads down.
-
quook had every legit opponent at home or neutral site which helped immensely
-
Never change
Go coogs
-
It's not easy being right all of the time
-
it keeps meaning more North of the Mason-Dixie Line
