Rolling Stone just crapped all over ESPN and their pumping of the SEC:

That's not to say his points are without merit, because they aren't, but I find that suspicious.

If michigan state is no 5 or better it's a lock that MSU or OSU depending who wins their game will get into the playoff. So that will be interesting to see.

 

I personally feel that TCU and K State should be ranked pari passu with ole miss and auburn, auburn getting a win over k state in a very close game. It would be nice of the playoff voters would put TCU ahead of one of those sec teams.

To give that much of a [expletive] about college football coverage benefitting the sec you pretty much have to have gone to a non sec school.

Comparing the coverage of a two year old misdemeanor charge against a DB turned QB to a rape investigation against a Heisman winner is completely disingenuous as well.

[Guest]

I don't think Auburn cheated at the end of the game. That would mean their players recognize numbers.

 

End of the game got pretty dicey there for Penn State, but those fans love having a coach they can insist didn't know what was happening.

 

Hahahaha.

Thought he was comparing nick Marshall to jameis. Which is more fair but if Johnny football had a rape allegation espn woul have gone nuts SEC network notwithstanding.

Marshall was a DB

I don't really think that's relevant. Jameis was a redshirt. They are now both star QBs at top teams. But yea the charges are not near apples to apples.

 

I'm actually excited as [expletive] to see this ranking tonight.

[stuy119]

 

As a Gator fan, what are your thoughts about the reports that the accuser is threatening to talk about her deal to drop charges against Treon? I've heard rumblings of this from some contacts I still have down there within UF, and they aren't optimistic.

[Ryne Ween]

I'm not a massive gators fan. I follow like 15 college teams so when one of those qbs rapes somebody I'm usually able to move forward with the other 14. But I hope hat you say isn't true for all involved.

 

Also we (all the FBS fan community) need treon harris for a shot at the FSU upset.

The guy was talking about the coverage by the media. The scandal and all that didn't blow up until the season was underway and he was actually playing for one of the top ranked teams and that's why it was such a huge story. Auburn didn't really become a story til the end of the season. But indeed, it's definitely apples to oranges.

Oh my god this is stupid.

I know those SEC teams are going to beat up on each other but LOL

[fiver]

Nice

[OleMissCub]

I'll enjoy it while it lasts.... Saturday is an elimination game for us and Auburn.

[Ryne Ween]

I don't have a problem with ole miss being there because they have probably the best win in the country. But Auburn at 3 is a joke.

 

So if Florida state had lost either of the two games they should have lost it'd be the for SEC west teams. That's really stupid. There is zero context to compare the SEC West to the Big 12. You have one game the K state Auburn game and that was a very close game.

 

I hate the committee. Bring back the BCS.

Ok, but who do you sub then? Notre Dame? Their 1 loss is on par at best with Auburn and Mich State's. TCU, who gave up over 50 to Baylor? I can see Bama maybe.

Auburn annihilated LSU, went on the road and gave Kansas State it's only loss, and only lost to the No. 1 team in the nation on the road.

 

So they've got as good of a win as Oregon and a significantly better loss. Ditto for Bama (except a marginally better loss).

[Andy]

Michigan State has no business ahead of Notre Dame. ND beat Michigan and Purdue by more and looked far better in their loss than MSU did. MSU has a better top win, but they also played an FCS team and Eastern Michigan.

 

I'm 100% ok with ND at 10 if 11 smart people and Tyrone Willingham came to that conclusion, but I think Arizona has a better case than MSU to be ahead of them.

 

TCU and Arizona are too low, and Oregon and Auburn are too high.

 

That being said, none of this matters. If the committee fully re-evaluates every week and adjusts accordingly, rather than falling into a poll inertia situation, all of this is fine.

[Ryne Ween]

I take issue with this committee considering Florida state the second best team and notre dame the tenth best team. ND outplayed them at their place. I think a 7 spot gap there is dumb.

[Ryne Ween]

And one more thing. Ole miss deserves credit for the win vs Bama. But if they got into this playoff 3 days after they got suffocated by LSUs it's kinda stupid.

 

Everybody asked for a playoff and we go this bs. And it's effectively rendered the entire bowl system meaningless. The playoff was a bad decision. Especially if it just produces SEC matchups that we see anyway.

 

And yes I recognize that since these teams are all about to play each other the top 4 will shake up but I have a right to be pissed and so I will be.

[Derwood]

Having a playoff was a great decision

 

Appointing these particular people to the committee was pants-on-head idiocy

[Ryne Ween]

But don't you think the playoff ruined the bowls. And also ruined the subjectivity of college football that fostered so much passion and arguments and a then a showdown. It was fine the way it way. I liked the bcs bowl system as well. I now feel like the bowls are also-rans. It kinda sucks.

 

And then having these 12 fucks all of a sudden form a hierarchy of evaluation points? [expletive] these people [expletive] pat Haden. Did you see the beginning of the espn show? Pat Haden had two laptops going. Two. He would do something on one of the laptops and then quickly go to the other. He can't use tabs to formulate his top 25?
