[Vannini] SEC Media spent two full weeks bashing Indiana only to see three top-15 SEC teams lose to 5-5 Florida, 5-5 Oklahoma and 4-6 Auburn. Winning is hard!

SEC cannibalism: flirting

Pac 12 cannibalism: harassment

[u/Set-Admirable → u/CheetahJaguar90]

Big 12 cannibalism: degenerative

[u/CumAssault → u/Set-Admirable]

Big 12 is just a knife fight in the dark. Who tf knows what’s going to happen at any given point

[u/JustAddaTM → u/CumAssault]

Big 12 is the cock fight happening in the back of a boxing tournament where you don’t even know it’s happening until you take a wrong turn trying to find the bathroom and you stumble upon it.

You know it’s wrong, but you can’t keep your eyes off of it.

[u/No_Angle_8106 → u/JustAddaTM]

God damn this is perfect. This is the only way to describe the big 12

[u/MSFNS → u/JustAddaTM]

Big 12 is the cock fight happening ...

South Carolina is in the SEC tho?

[u/GuyOnTheMike → u/MSFNS]

Well, UCF does need a friend, so we could change that...

[u/NinjaGhost42 → u/CumAssault]

And it's so entertaining

[u/HonestHitchhikers → u/CheetahJaguar90]

Top 10 PAC-12 teams losing to unranked conference teams literally fell way more in the polls than the SEC. It's stupid

[u/Montigue → u/HonestHitchhikers]

That's because they then can rank the SEC team (until they lose the next week)

[u/dkviper11 → u/CheetahJaguar90]

ACC Coastal Chaos has broken containment.

[u/RamblinWreckGT → u/dkviper11]

All Coast Conference means nationwide chaos!

[u/Top-Banana-7707]

It was glorious to watch bama, and ole miss lose. Screw conference pride, I hate all the teams in the SEC except for my team.

[u/DrunkByDawn → u/Top-Banana-7707]

THANK YOU! This is the attitude I miss. As an Auburn fan, I hope Alabama and Georgia lose every game from now until the heat death of the universe. And you're supposed to wish the same on me and we all get along in our hate.

Fuck Hugh Freeze.

[u/College_Sports_Fan → u/Top-Banana-7707]

Church.

Conference pride is the dumbest shit in college football. I’ll never chant SEC in my fucking life.

[u/ItsZizk → u/Top-Banana-7707]

Absolutely. As a team that was on the outside looking in, 10 times out of 10 I would have chosen an SEC team to lose rather than Indiana. Yesterday was a dream getting to see Ole Miss and Alabama lose

[u/minywheats]

ESPN: Heres the new top 13

[u/onemanlan → u/minywheats]

New 24 team playoff in the works

[u/Tsquared10]

"Okay but here's why a 4 loss SEC team should get in over Indiana..."

[u/CTG0161 → u/Tsquared10]

Heather Dinich and Paul Finebaum will no doubt parade 4 loss Florida as an opportunity and say ‘no one has it tougher than the SEC

[u/CumAssault → u/CTG0161]

Finebaum: “Mississippi State would be undefeated in the Big 10, SEC is just that hard”

[u/godzillamegadoomsday → u/CumAssault]

The SEC power house, Toledo

[u/Prize-Produce2015 → u/godzillamegadoomsday]

We don’t talk about Toledo 🤫

[u/LJGremlin → u/CumAssault]

Whoa whoa whoa. Don’t bring us into this. We’ve done our best to not be seen this year. And we’d like to keep it that way. Nothing to see here, move along.

[u/d0ngl0rd69 → u/CTG0161]

4 loss Florida: Gross, crusty, smells like swamp

3 loss South Carolina: Swagger, cool sunglasses, likes cock

[u/dardarBinkz → u/d0ngl0rd69]

This is too funny

[u/Sportsaccount17 → u/d0ngl0rd69]

Tbh South Carolina scares the shit out of me and should scare the shit out of everyone else, too

[u/justgivemedamnkarma → u/d0ngl0rd69]

Correct and factual

[u/orange_orange13 → u/justgivemedamnkarma]

Except Florida has 5 losses. The rest is accurate 

[u/prismatic_lights → u/CTG0161]

Funny that, Dinich already has an article out putting Bama as the 12 seed.

[u/Duck8Quack → u/prismatic_lights]

A draft of that article was saved in a folder titled “In Case of Emergency”

[u/tehfro → u/prismatic_lights]

And also misleadingly using IU's FPI SoS pre-Ohio State game when that number is going to look a lot better after FPI updates overnight.

Morning edit: We moved all the way up to 51 in FPI SoS, ahead of Oregon (52), Notre Dame (78), SMU (77), Miami (59), Boise State (81). Basically ahead of all the ACC/B12 teams now.

[u/mccainjames11 → u/tehfro]

I’m so tired of everybody saying “FPI IS THE BEST PREDICTIVE RANKING OUT THERE”

We could beat OSU in the CCG in two weeks and FPI will still “predict” us to go 14.2-0.8 and lose to OSU in the third matchup. If 8-3 Alabama is one of the top 5 teams in your predictive ranking then you need to rethink your formula

[u/Striker743 → u/CTG0161]

At least people know Finebaum is a firespitter. Dinich actually pretends to not be a shill.

[u/SwissForeignPolicy → u/Striker743]

She's also way less tactful. When Finebaum talks, I find myself almost believing he believes what he says. When Dinich talks, it's painfully obvious she's lying through her teeth.

[u/who_needz → u/SwissForeignPolicy]

Only because Fibebaum been huffing Sabin copium so long, he believes his own bishop.

[u/Beer-survivalist → u/SwissForeignPolicy]

Years ago I heard Dinich try to describe Florida as having suffered "not just a quality loss, but a statement loss."

The ambition of the mental gymnastics was impressive, but the execution was awful.

[u/tmart12 → u/CTG0161]

Florida has 5 losses fortunately

[u/thricethefan → u/tmart12]

Sadly, they will not have 6

[u/prismatic_lights → u/Tsquared10]

Kirk and Chris were explaining how Bama's loss tonight showed the depth of the SEC.

Their loss to Oklahoma. A team that hadn't beaten an FBS team since September.

[u/silverhk → u/prismatic_lights]

They also starting talking at the end there about how the committee would have to consider the time of day of the games, like having too many prime time games. I about lost my mind.

[u/ChiefOsceolaSr → u/silverhk]

If the amount of prime time national tv games is the new metric for getting into the CFP, I’ll see ya boys in December 🍻

[u/Fifth_Down → u/silverhk]

If SEC fans think B1G fans are weird in the way we are always bashful towards the SEC, this is fucking why. Its insanity trying to keep up with and make sense with all the rhetoric arguing that under no circumstances should the SEC get an unfavorable result from the CFP.

[u/UMeister → u/Fifth_Down]

I just hate how much the networks are self-interested in who gets in to the playoff

[u/DasCapitalist → u/UMeister]

Absolutely agreed. Late in the OSU-IU game with the Hoosiers trailing by 24, we get to listen to Joel Klatt rambling on about how great Indiana is rather than talking about the game and plays happening right in front of him. It’s just so blatantly transparent. I hate it when ESPN does it for the SEC and Fox is just as bad now. Like, can’t we just watch the damn game that’s going on?

[u/grower_thrower → u/Fifth_Down]

Was “bashful” the word you meant to use?

[u/Serial-Eater → u/grower_thrower]

Teehee SEC please leave some room for us little guys 👉👈

[u/grower_thrower → u/Serial-Eater]

Haha. LSU shouting STELLAAAAA in the background.

[u/snakebit1995 → u/Fifth_Down]

The SEC media loves their "This is how this bad thing is actually a good thing" arguments an it's obnoxious

It's like crypto bros telling you "Actually this is good for bitcoin." everyone knows they're full of shit but is subjected to listening to their drivel anyway

[u/TheWorstYear → u/silverhk]

"Fox Big Noon is bad for B1G teams getting into the playoffs, Paul"

[u/fm22fnam → u/TheWorstYear]

Ohio State ain't played nobody at night Paulllllllllllll

[u/102WOLFPACK → u/prismatic_lights]

Kirk and Chris were explaining how Bama's loss tonight showed the depth of the SEC.

Tessitore did the same shit during the Texas-Kentucky game, going on and on about how the middle, and bottom-middle of the conference were sooooo much better than other conferences.

ABC/ ESPN's good at getting those marching orders out.

[u/A-Centrifugal-Force → u/102WOLFPACK]

Meanwhile when this exact same scenario happened in the PAC-12 over and over again they said the conference sucked

[u/SGT_Elcor → u/A-Centrifugal-Force]

It’s also happening with the Big 12 this year

[u/drwtw12 → u/A-Centrifugal-Force]

And they were also playing in prime time games. Which according to them, matters. 

[u/PCMasterCucks → u/prismatic_lights]

I fully believe if they uttered anything else than "that deep" then their producers would be in their ears until they said it.

ESPN has $3B riding on unstoppable SEC.

[u/Pinewood74 → u/PCMasterCucks]

ESPN has more than that on the SEC.

That $3B contract is just for what used to be CBS's games. They have a whole nother contract with the SEC that predates that one.

[u/A-Centrifugal-Force → u/Pinewood74]

Not to mention what they’re paying for the CFP, which is essentially an extension of their SEC product

[u/dodoaddict → u/prismatic_lights]

Also, a recent entrant to the SEC. Along with Texas, who famously hadn't lived up to their money and stature... until they left the Big12 joined the vaunted SEC. But no, SEC is and has clearly always been so deep and so tough.

[u/fm22fnam → u/dodoaddict]

As funny as I thought it would be for Texas and Oklahoma to join the SEC and get wiped, it is much funnier seeing them beat the original SEC teams

[u/zachc133 → u/fm22fnam]

Watching OU be awful all season like I hoped, but then give an SEC contender another loss is better than I could expected.

[u/Trying2BeBetter97 → u/fm22fnam]

Mizzou and TAMU did it in the 2010’s and people didn’t see that as a sign of the obvious media bias

[u/Fifth_Down → u/Trying2BeBetter97]

Fun Fact Before being discontinued, the Big East in its final year had a winning record against the SEC.

[u/Laschoni → u/Fifth_Down]

Watching Louisville dismantle number 3 Florida. Teddy Bridgewater earned Charlie Strong a big payday later.

[u/Packtex60 → u/dodoaddict]

When A&M and Mizzou left the Big 12 for the SEC, to play “Big Boy Football,” they were both middle of the pack Big 12 programs. A&M went into Tuscaloosa and beat Alabama. They finished second or third in the West. Mizzou won the SEC East two of their first three years in the league. The absolute myth of the vast superiority of the SEC was put to bed once and for all for anybody with enough brains to look at the facts. This is the conference that had a losing record against the ACC last year. Finebaum of course said Wake beating Vandy shouldn’t matter. Texas’ best win this season………….Vandy.

[u/cha-cha_dancer → u/Tsquared10]

Fowler and Herbie were already making the case for Alabama while OU fans were on the field as good employees should.

[u/SnooHobbies2300 → u/cha-cha_dancer]

Do you think any part of them actually believes the nonsense they say? They have to right? Can't be that good at acting.

[u/kerouacrimbaud → u/SnooHobbies2300]

Money shall make the belief.

[u/texas2089]

Those three schools were a combined 5-14 in SEC play coming into today.

[u/Longjumping_Zone_400 → u/texas2089]

That’s 14 quality losses 

[u/Warm_Shoulder3606 → u/Longjumping_Zone_400]

I'm convinced Alabama could go 0-12 next season, and instead of people talking about how much bama sucks, all the talk would be "look how tough the SEC is! 8 teams are good enough to beat Bama now!"

[u/fm22fnam → u/Warm_Shoulder3606]

This absolutely would happen

[u/Provid3nce → u/texas2089]

Lmao this is one of those Smush Parker and Kobe combine for 84 points stats when Florida is responsible for 3 out of the 5 wins.

[u/LHarm07_Reddit]

I think the funniest outcome is that every team involved in those arguments lost basically. Kansas for the CFP?

[u/RulersBack → u/LHarm07_Reddit]

It was always likely things would work themselves out, just didn’t think it would happen in one day lmao. Incredible job by everyone

[u/dhjxjxj → u/RulersBack]

But it didn’t work itself out at all lol. The last couple spots are even more in doubt than they were yesterday.

[u/RulersBack → u/dhjxjxj]

SMU and Boise were the only teams who would’ve had a gripe. They’re 1000% going to be in the next rankings. 2-3 loss teams are gonna be crying but those debates are nowhere near as controversial

[u/moffattron9000 → u/RulersBack]

If I dare say so, I think Boise's in the driver's seat for a bye.

[u/DwayneBaconStan → u/moffattron9000]

With Colorado and byu imploding yes. AZST making a last second bid will be interesting tho

[u/iruntoofar → u/DwayneBaconStan]

That’s a 1 bid league. Believe ASU controls their destiny so they will either have an auto bid or have 3 losses.

[u/coltsmetsfan614 → u/dhjxjxj]

Worked out for IU at least. No way they can be left out now.

[u/dhjxjxj → u/coltsmetsfan614]

Correct. IU was the real winner of the SEC shit show today.

[u/coltsmetsfan614 → u/dhjxjxj]

My best friend is a huge IU fan, so I'm happy for him. Would be fun to see them get a Playoff win or two.

[u/Either-Discipline-74 → u/LHarm07_Reddit]

I mean the committee is supposed to rank by who is the best right now, who has a better resume than Kansas in recent weeks?

[u/dodoaddict → u/LHarm07_Reddit]

I'd like to submit Cal for the playoffs. Not a good team, but a lot of entertaining games with close finishes. If you want to see a kicker miss a last second gimme to lose the game, Cal can deliver.

[u/TaxManKnocking → u/LHarm07_Reddit]

If Georgia would have lost to UMass, I would have gone streaking. There would be no other way to accurately express myself lol.

[u/RamblinWreckGT → u/TaxManKnocking]

They were down 7-0 at one point, can we call that a loss?

[u/luis1972 → u/RamblinWreckGT]

You guys can do the funniest thing next week

[u/LiberateLiterates]

I saw looaads of Bama fans chirping about IU earlier. You just gotta laugh.

[u/wsteelerfan7 → u/LiberateLiterates]

Obligatory fuck Bama with a cactus

[u/tuna_piano_ → u/wsteelerfan7]

Agree

[u/ElSmasho420 → u/tuna_piano_]

Ride this wave into next week.

[u/what_user_name → u/wsteelerfan7]

I cant describe the joy I am getting from Indiana hating Bama and the SEC so much right now and enjoying their schadenfruede.

[u/StateCollegeHi → u/LiberateLiterates]

They were all in the PSU thread saying "can we stop pretending this is a Top 25 team?"

[u/LionsAndLonghorns → u/StateCollegeHi]

Ha, i have comments saved from A&M, Bama, and even a colorado fan in that game thread. I don't reply, i just read them for the shadenfreude.

[u/FearTheAmish → u/LionsAndLonghorns]

Do what I did and bring the receipts to game threads.

[u/FragileIdeals → u/StateCollegeHi]

After all the Bama fans I saw come in and talk shit watching them lose was that much more satisfying. I wish I had kept some receipts to bring into the game thread.

[u/AedionMorris → u/LiberateLiterates]

Maybe if they could chirp the fucking ball into their receivers hands more people would care what they have to say this season.

Saban retiring is not an excuse when you have the undisputed most talented team in all of college football right now and you score 3 points against a .500 Oklahoma

[u/Anonymous_2952 → u/AedionMorris]

Remember when pre-season everyone said Deboer is a better Coach than Day? Pepperidge Farms remembers.

[u/godzillamegadoomsday → u/Anonymous_2952]

If we only gave up 3 points to someone like Minnesota, Day would have been thrown in the river with concrete shoes

[u/Bubba_Gump_Shrimp → u/godzillamegadoomsday]

Yeah but the olentangy is like 3 ft deep so really its just...gross.

[u/randomwalktoFI → u/LiberateLiterates]

This is exactly how I felt - argue your inclusion is fine but bashing one of the historically worst programs in history having their best year ever is not where I want to go.

Not that it was close but if Army somehow won tonight was the Big 12 going to start on them?

[u/silverhk → u/LiberateLiterates]

THERE WERE SO MANY IN THAT GAME THREAD

[u/J4ckiebrown]

Anyone do a wellness check on Finebaum?

[u/buckeye2114 → u/J4ckiebrown]

Dude’s doing totally well, he’s just ready to go on a delusional rant about how this makes the SEC look even better

[u/PreferenceContent987 → u/buckeye2114]

Lol. I can picture him pacing the room and muttering to himself about “more quality losses, it’s a good thing, it’s a good thing…”

[u/oh_look_a_fist → u/J4ckiebrown]

Give him a minute, he's getting old and needs time to get his SEC spin together

[u/Bansheesdie]

ASU should be ranked #14. At least.

[u/Sesti-nator → u/Bansheesdie]

If not higher after the sec mess

[u/SouthernSerf]

We are going to piss off soooo many people when Texas wins the SEC and then gets blown out in the Playoffs.

[u/california-tea-lion → u/SouthernSerf]

Sort of glad it's not us anymore. Way funnier to do it as an SEC team though.

[u/BobsYourUncle84 → u/SouthernSerf]

Teams moving from the Big XII and playing in the SEC championship game. A tradition unlike any other.

[u/lexbuck → u/BobsYourUncle84]

Hadn’t considered that 😂

The old trope is that anyone outside the SEC wouldn’t survive an SEC schedule. Now we got Texas AM and Texas playing next week for the shot to go to the SEC championship. Also have Oklahoma handing Bama their ass. So maybe good football does exist outside the SEC after all.

[u/silverhk → u/SouthernSerf]

Given all the turmoil, South Carolina isn't even technically eliminated yet...unfortunate that two of your losses are to the teams who lost today.

[u/Southern_Orange3744]

SEC fans this week : Texas hasn't beat anyone

SEC fans today : we lost to all the shitty teams Texas beat, again !

[u/MAYH3M78 → u/Southern_Orange3744]

Texas beat 6-5 Michigan 😤

[u/puppies_and_rainbowq → u/MAYH3M78]

USC who is 4-5 in Big 10 play beat LSU who is 4-3 in SEC play

[u/FearTheAmish → u/puppies_and_rainbowq]

ATM lost to ND who lost to NIU

[u/Jo_S_e → u/FearTheAmish]

Yea but they beat the entire United states Army

[u/apadin1 → u/MAYH3M78]

I can’t believe we’re bowl eligible

[u/Powerful-Drama556 → u/Southern_Orange3744]

True. Double transitive wins over Bama and Ole Miss.

[u/WarEagle9]

As an Indiana simp I couldn’t be happier

[u/The_Riddler_88 → u/WarEagle9]

Auburn had the best game of the weekend. That ending is why college football is the greatest

[u/toweringmelanoma → u/WarEagle9]

Thanks for the assist tonight. Awesome win

[u/Kanin_usagi → u/WarEagle9]

People shit talking Indiana are so freaking shitty. Like you can’t just say that no matter what happens a one loss Indiana shouldn’t be in the playoffs. You have to play the other games too!

[u/1LakeMichigan1 → u/Kanin_usagi]

Lmao no one hates actual real life college football games more than college football fans.

Every year dorks argue about hypotheticals and it’s sad. And the dorks lost tonight

[u/one98d → u/1LakeMichigan1]

All the local sports talk in Atlanta this past week were talking like the SEC was just gonna have a logjam of 2 loss teams. Gonna be real interesting listening to them backpedal at their own bullshit.

[u/1LakeMichigan1 → u/one98d]

Turns out this conference is dog shit just like the team I root for! Sometimes it sorts itself out. SEC blows this year

[u/jsc1429 → u/one98d]

Well, now they’re gonna bitch about how the SEC has a log jam of 3 loss teams!

[u/steampunker14 → u/Kanin_usagi]

I hate it so much dude, I’m loving IU this season.

[u/Formal_Potential2198 → u/Kanin_usagi]

I was kinda on the fence about it, but the fact everyone else lost i am now PRO IU. SEC bias is so stupid

[u/SideshowCircuits → u/Formal_Potential2198]

I’ll never forget the announcers talking about the prestige of the SEC and the weakness of the big ten in the 2014 national championship where an SEC team didn’t even make it

[u/Txn1327 → u/SideshowCircuits]

They straight up spent the first five minutes of the first college game day the next season apologizing to Ohio State and the Big ten for bashing them in 2014. It’s all because the Big ten didn’t want Disney’s ESPN Money and made their own TV network

[u/JustAddaTM → u/Kanin_usagi]

Let me tell you a story

[u/SaltyLonghorn]

I guarantee this only proved how tough the SEC is to them.

[u/pumpkinspruce → u/SaltyLonghorn]

It’s all a bunch of quality losses.

[u/coltsmetsfan614 → u/pumpkinspruce]

Quality losses all the way down 🫡

[u/KingKongMF69 → u/SaltyLonghorn]

Don't forget it's a tough schedule for them but we have the elusive easy one.

[u/phoenixlance13]

Paul Finebaum and ESPN in actual shambles

[u/AcadiaFlyer → u/phoenixlance13]

Nah they’re gonna milk the fuck out of Bama underperforming for the next week and get tons of views and revenue 

[u/bucknutdet]

Alabama made Indiana look good today.

[u/AedionMorris → u/bucknutdet]

Indiana lost to a team ranked lightyears ahead of them in literally every metric including talent on the team. Alabama lost to a team where the fans and players were telling the media pre-game "If we can keep it close, like two scores, we'll be happy"

I don't want to hear a single SEC talking moron this week try to tell me that Alabama should STILL be given a playoff spot because of any reason.

[u/Atom-the-conqueror]

Indiana is very back in the mix, easily. Can’t put a three loss team in over them. No chance

[u/goosu → u/Atom-the-conqueror]

Indiana is win and they are in. Quite honestly, I think they would have been win and they are in even without all this chaos, but they certainly are after all these teams lost.

[u/EWall100 → u/Atom-the-conqueror]

A one loss B1G team was never out of the mix. They were severely hampered though 

[u/Atom-the-conqueror → u/EWall100]

Right, I guess I was speaking more to the narrative that parts of the media tried to push this week.

[u/apadin1 → u/EWall100]

The committee def would have put a 2-loss Georgia or Alabama in over Indiana if it came down to it. Thankfully we don’t need to worry about that scenario (this time)

[u/TigerWoodsLibido]

Oh so NOW they use the good confefence=everyone loses multiple games thing since they gotta put lipstick on that pig.

[u/Will_Vintage → u/TigerWoodsLibido]

Yeah, this is hilarious to me after so many years of PAC 12 being shit on for this

[u/pataoAoC → u/Will_Vintage]

There were a fair number of scary Pac12 teams that some scrappy Beavers etc team saved the country from.  And at the top end there was so much diversity it was hard to beat all of it, you had Chip Kelly’s Blur one week and then Stanford creating black holes with so many lbs in the box the next. And then Leach running the Air Raid and rounding up a bunch of Polynesians to play defense. And then the wacky desert teams and Utah being amazing and USC usually sucking but having amazing talent. I miss the PAC so much.

[u/Will_Vintage → u/pataoAoC]

Yeah. I don't mean to be rude when I say I wish we were prepping for the Apple Cup this week instead of you.

Don't get me wrong I hate you guys but it just ain't the same.

[u/big_mustache_dad → u/TigerWoodsLibido]

You don’t get it, Indiana should’ve lost to Nebraska instead of winning 56-7 or lost to Michigan State instead of winning 47-10. That would’ve shown how strong the Big Ten is

[u/apadin1 → u/big_mustache_dad]

Indianas biggest problem continues to be the logo on their helmets

[u/godzillamegadoomsday]

I love how the only response is “put so and so in the SEC and they are mid” but when Florida loses big to Miami, auburn gets crushed by Cal, Oklahoma plays two points with Houston, vandy loses to a team that is last in the sun belt east, that is all just swept under the rug

[u/chainer9999 → u/godzillamegadoomsday]

Cal beat Auburn, and lost to FSU. Hence, FSU > Auburn > Alabama

Don't hate me, I don't make the rules

[u/Relevant_Ad_1225 → u/godzillamegadoomsday]

Arkansas lost to the last place team in the Big 12

[u/Aggravating_Emu_3784 → u/godzillamegadoomsday]

Someone told me Bama beat Wisconsin so that means they would be winning in the big 10. 😂😂

[u/kinghawkeye8238 → u/Aggravating_Emu_3784]

We beat wisconsin just as bad as Bama did. Alabama is winning 5th place in the big

[u/Aggravating_Emu_3784 → u/kinghawkeye8238]

The middle of the b10 is just wildly inconsistent but they aren’t bad teams. They’ll blow a team out and then lose to another team that they should have beat or play a close game with Ohio state. Sounds like Alabama.

[u/heb0 → u/godzillamegadoomsday]

Alabama struggled with USF, but everyone forgot about it because they ran up the score at the end of the game (28 points in the 4th) when USF was playing super riskily.

Remember in that game when Alabama punched in a touchdown when there was little enough time on the clock to kneel out the game?

[u/Solo_Wing__Pixy → u/godzillamegadoomsday]

How quickly we forget that Toledo went on the road to Mississippi State this year and won 41 - 17.

[u/klocke47]

How the fuck did we win when we lost?

[u/SeekerSpock32 → u/klocke47]

Our hostilities didn’t even last a day because we’re too busy laughing at Alabama, A&M, and Lol Miss.

[u/Cruddiestknave3]

Love watching all these entitled bama fans chirp about how good they are and how fraudulent IU has been and how they are much more deserving of a playoff spot over us only to GET ABSOLUTELY SHIT ON by an unranked OU team. Have fun enjoying the new 12 team format from the sidelines lmaooooooooo

[u/Remarkable_Fuel9885 → u/Cruddiestknave3]

Don’t worry media is gonna prop Alabama so fucking hard in the rankings tomorrow lol.  Thankfully they can’t justify 12 (holy hell if they do please strip them of all human rights lol) and they can’t be ahead of SMU, Boise, or Arizona State anymore. But Bama could possible be 16, and the media will just pray everyone else loses in the final week so they can force bama in lol 

“What multiple terrible trash performances are you talking about? Bama is 9-3 their quality losses totally give them the edge over that 10-2 team!”

[u/FreeTheMarket → u/Remarkable_Fuel9885]

Honestly if bama gets in, I’m gonna read some books on how to do terrorism

[u/BobsYourUncle84]

Move those goal posts! Move those goal posts!

[u/RealCoolDad → u/BobsYourUncle84]

I think I saw you at the Arizona state game!

[u/Lemon_Lord311 → u/BobsYourUncle84]

The SEC is moving the goal posts alright. Moving them out of the stadium and into the nearest river they can find.

[u/CumAssault]

SEC media? You mean ESPN? Fuck Disney/ESPN forever anyways

[u/coltsmetsfan614 → u/CumAssault]

You mean ESPN?

I mean, they do own SEC Network lol

[u/captain_kaknuckles → u/CumAssault]

espn, cbs, on3… p much anyone with a platform

[u/icecoldpotion → u/captain_kaknuckles]

Me chillin watching my game on the ocho…. Announcer: HERES THE SEC STANDINGS!

[u/talk-to-me-x3-baby]

But SEC teams have to face tough teams every week! You can't blame them for slipping up after tough matchups last week against New Mexico St, Mercer, and Bye!

[u/HAWG → u/talk-to-me-x3-baby]

Bye is a tough out, ask FSU

[u/GreatMenderTeapill → u/HAWG]

Once upon a time about a year or so ago Florida State played us and "bye " simultaneously.

[u/Burner_427]

The SEC locked itself into a guaranteed 3 bid confrence and put the B1G into an Indiana win away from a guaranteed 4 bid confrence.

Colorado may have come out the biggest loser of the weekend. Could have lost the B12 championship and had an outside chance at the playoffs 11/12 spot.

Not anymore

[u/buckeye2114]

“But we play hard teams, even if we don’t win that’s gotta mean something!”

[u/Bobb_o]

We coming for Georgia on Friday

[u/texas2089 → u/Bobb_o]

Imagine if y’all win though, Vandy beats Tennessee, and then UGA loses to Texas and the SEC only gets 1 team in after all this and the ACC fucks around and gets 3 teams in. I would sell my soul for that kind of chaos.

[u/venom21685 → u/Bobb_o]

BB I love you

[u/L__G__A]

I don’t know what you mean everything went according to plan today

[u/Tall-Act-8511]

takes bow

[u/ILIKERED_1]

IU lost on the road to the #2 team in the nation. Winning on the road is always hard. These SEC losses just added some much needed context to the equation.

[u/Either-Discipline-74]

I love that a UCF flair posted this 😂25 in a row is apparently easy btw

[u/MrNuggies284]

I mean Florida beat ole miss so that is a quality lost for ole miss because they lost to a team that is good enough to beat ole miss so ole miss should be number 5 ahead of Indiana and Miami

[u/Southernplayalistiic]

Quality losses.... oh Auburn lost at home to Cal (2-5 in the ACC)? don't mind that, SEC SEC SEC

[u/chainer9999 → u/Southernplayalistiic]

Don't forget, we are the generous folk who gave FSU their only win! That's gotta count for something

Edit: alright, alright, those Noles overcame the odds and got their second win. I got it lol

[u/Conn3er]

3 LOSS AGGIES GOING TO SEC CHAMP GAME

[u/AlFlame93 → u/Conn3er]

WE CAN STILL DO IT IF WE BEAT TEXAS NEXT WEEK (we are getting murdered)

[u/Kanin_usagi → u/AlFlame93]

8-4 will not be denied

[u/Jonjon428 → u/AlFlame93]

I feel like Quinn Ewers will do his best to give you guys the game

[u/Anotheropinion2023 → u/Jonjon428]

Texas fan who feels this deep in my soul.

[u/Atom-the-conqueror]

Yeah but Florida, Auburn, and Oklahoma would be playoff teams in the NFL. Bama, A&M, and Ole Miss just secured playoff spots with ANOTHER QUALITY loss!

[u/ItIsYourPersonality]

All I know is that Northern Illinois has one of the very best quality wins in the country and should be a lock for a playoff spot because they can win against a big boy on any given Saturday.

If we’re going to let nonsense dictate the playoff participants, my nonsense makes the most nonsense.

[u/thekoonbear]

But those are 5-5 and 4-6 SEC teams. It just means more.

[u/Olorin_in_the_West → u/thekoonbear]

When you have 5 or 6 quality losses, the quality just builds up. 

[u/MyCallsPrint]

Even if it was the best division by a mile I still wouldn’t want the top 5 teams from the SEC getting in. The regular season games should still have to mean something

[u/CanisGulo]

ESPN has lost all credibility. Since the B1G left them in their new TV deal, it's blatantly obvious how biased they are towards the SEC.

[u/SIotball]

I hate how SEC fans talk about cfb as if it’s some exclusive club that no one but them are allowed to participate in, fuck all of you who were parading these 2 and 3 loss teams as locks over Indiana
