Doesn't it say a lot about how truly dominate the SEC was

/is that there are so many people not affiliated with the SEC that can do nothing but talk about how an SEC team is not in the championship in how ever many years?
I think it does.

And they would have played and possibly crushed fsu, thus furthering the idea that they are invincible. Remember most people thought bama was getting a bye playing osu and in the old system they almost certainly get left out.

It's possible that Alabama would have played FSU, but it's also possible that Oregon would have played either FSU or Alabama. What the playoffs showed is that the difference between the #4 and #s 1,2, and 3 teams isn't that great and that by expanding the field, we remove some of the subjective bias. Yes, there's an SEC bias, but there are also some good teams in the SEC. I would equate SEC football to USA international basketball just before they allowed professional players. The US could probably field 3 or 4 teams in the top 10, but weren't head and shoulders above the rest of the world in that they could just show up and win.
What I think showed the SEC bias more than anything is what's happened to Ole Miss, Miss St., LSU, and Auburn. The Mississippi schools vaulted to the top of the rankings after doing nothing out of conference and winning a couple in conference games against over rated teams. I think that the committee will learn from their mistakes.

Hype is what got SECw in the championship games in the past is what everyone outside the SEC is talking about.IMO.
Having to play your way in didn't work out for them this past year.

Ohio State is NOTHING like any team from the $EC.
If they were, they would be sitting at home with the rest of the $EC.

They lost to an ACC team this year, which makes them exactly like an SEC team.

MNC that the team that won wasn't the dominant team that year. The SEC has had some truly dominant teams in the past 10 years.Especially the BAMA NC teams.
However, people are just regurgitating what they've heard over and over on esecpn. No big secret there.

Conside two Bama MNC's were vs LSU and ND ...
Jan 5, 2015, 10:20 AM

LSU was an undeserved rematch after losing at home TO LSU in November.
ND was much less taleneted - another media darling. UGA should have beat Bama in the SEC championship that year.
Bama has a less than stellar November record - yet people and media seem to put them on a pedistal.

Jan 5, 2015, 10:26 AM

Anybody that watched both of those games knows that BAMA DOMINATED both and had their kicker been competent they would've won the first game. Much like us vs FSU this year. Clemson was clearly the better team that day.
and ND has nothing to do with how good BAMA was that year. Also, shoulda coulda woulda on the UGA statement. usuc "should've" won 3 more games this year but they didnt....
Less than stellar November record? They've lost 3 november games in the last 4 years....All to top 15 ranked teams....

Comprehension is fine. Bama had 50 more yards than LSU. Almost all of the other stat lines were nearly identical. Not sure how that is clearly the better team, particularly when said team lost.

losing to LSU at home and not even making the SEC championship game. If two teams are fairly close, the one who lost the first game usually has the advantage in the second.

The SEC teams always got the tiebreaker among
Jan 5, 2015, 9:56 AM
|

teams with identical records in the polls, and SEC teams were often even given higher rankings than teams with better records than themselves. It was basically assured that the SEC would be given at least 1 spot every year, just because of the conference's perception. There were some deserving teams from other conferences, with just as good of resumes as the SEC teams, that got left out in the old format.
The biggest example of this was Alabama making it in over Oklahoma State in 2011-12, despite OK State having the better computer numbers and actually being a conference champion (Alabama wasn't even a division champion).

Didn't Ok State get spanked by a horrible team the last week of the season? That year, the problem wasn't SEC bias as much as it was every decent team had a late season swan dive except for Alabama.

How in the world can you have a rematch for the NC??? From the same FN division.
That proved the media bias to hand pick who they wanted.
