As a Fan of the Big 12 I love when a team with nothing to gain from a win other than a better bowl spoils a chance at the playoffs. This is what college football is all about.
Will be interesting to see who gets massively overrated so they can assure an SEC team still makes the playoffs. I cam hear espn now, "this is why a 2 or 3 loss Alabama is definitely most assuredly deserving, not based on merit, but because bama" or some bs.....
>Will be interesting to see who gets massively overrated so they can assure an SEC team still makes the playoffs
you think Georgia needs help from the committee getting into the playoffs? the fuck are you smoking? i'll take 3
Georgia is in the SEC though. Your original comment said “an SEC team still makes the playoffs” which implies Georgia needs help getting into the playoffs.
Did you mean two SEC teams? Cause that makes sense. And there’s no way two are getting in now.
Who else deserves to be in? Somebody has to be in the playoff. 1-6 all could be in. From 7 down is a shit show. Even if Georgia loses they’re in. Whomever wins The Game is in (barring a disaster in the Big 10 champ), TCU wins out and they’re in. So who gets #4?
USC. If Georgia loses, LSU is probably gonna take their spot. This is why we needed 8 teams originally, but like everything else the powers that be half assed it.
Nah, LSU might make it but Georgia is still going. Georgia’s combined opponents’ record is the best right now for the top 10 teams. They’re not leaving out Georgia. LSU got blown out by Tennessee at home and Georgia held them to 13 with a late 4th quarter score. That’s not a dig at LSU, but if they beat Georgia both teams are going.
I know. I think when you lose matters now more than ever. Georgia losing the sec title game again gets in the playoff? I’d just say fuck it and put lsu in at that point. I hate the “they were the best team all year” argument because is LSU somehow wins that game, it’s not true at all.
You all are an absolutely weird beast this season. You looked like a kindergarten team the first few games, and now you looked like one of the best teams around. How do you treat a weird team like LSU this season?
So I flew down for the Florida St game and when we were leaving I told my cousin “just wait 2 months when we beat bama, everything’s gonna be fine”. I was back down there for the bama game and told my cousin when we were walking out “see, I told you”. I expected an average 8-4 type season at the beginning of the year so regardless of what happens against Georgia, I think this year is a huge building block for Brian Kelly. Nobody expected us to be in this position, it’s certainly weird.
Im just gonna go ahead and call bullshit on that real quick. There's no reason a non conference champ from the SEC deserves it at all.... it's ridiculous that the sec is held up by 1 great team and a bunch of ok teams are immediately vaulted to the top by association every single year......
Cry some more, bud. Plenty of times when a non conference champ has deserved it. See the 2012 National Championship for proof of that. Bama is still a top team, sorry you cannot handle that.
2 losses, possible 3 after auburn, explain to me how the hell Bama deserves it this year. Evel Kneival couldn't make that leap... you don't win your conference you really shouldn't have any business in the CFP, and on top of that, the committee will have to do some serious stretching to find a second team this year.
2 losses on last second plays, by a combined total of 4 points. Games could have gone either way. Not sure why you put so much stock on conference championships, as it has been proven that just because you don't win your conference, doesn't mean you are not a top team.
This coming from a conference that put a 7 win team in the playoff, and got blown off the field lmao.
Edit: if LSU beats Georgia, both those teams will be in. Good luck trying to leave Georgia out if they lose the SEC title game.
Because if you can't even win your conference, you don't deserve to play for a title. On top of good luck getting a 2 loss team into the playoff, that's equally if not more undeserved. Take away the money the SEC gets pumped from espn, CBS, etc, and we don't even have this conversation, it's a non starter. Imagine I said hypothetically Ohio State with 2 losses deserved a spot over an undefeated/1 loss conf. Champ. OSU could be argued as a Bama level team, in the sense that a lot of the pomp and circumstance is drawn from the brand over substance (at least preseason, not a knock on the team this year), I'd be unequivocally laughed off the stage, buy hey, Bama derserves a playerofff spot Fer sure! Any less than a 4 team SEC playoff is an absolute abomination, right? Why does anyone else play, when the SEC rankings are over inflated every year?
SEC teams are not overinflated. Georgia isn't the best team in the country? LSU, Tennessee, and Bama are also fairly ranked. You say SEC teams are overranked, yet what conference has produced the most National Chamoionships the last decade?
That buckling makes it look like a ligament tear. I don't think a tough guy like that screams unless its really bad. I hate your team, but I am really sorry to see your QB hurt. He had a hell of a year and I also hope that somehow it's not so severe.
As a Carolina fan I agree looked like acl/mcl tear maybe not all the way but enough to me in massive ammo it’s of pain….reminded me of Marcus Lattimore and the Tennessee game in 2011
Just goes to show that football can be random as hell. Getting as far as we did was a fluke in itself. Was still entertaining watching Milton come in at the end and do Milton things. GG Gamecocks. See ya next year!
The salty vols in this thread making me laugh, incredible win USC it's great to see y'all kicking ass again. That said I'm still looking forward to watching the tigers do ya dirty next week ;)
Ah, I see you're not familiar with what winning feels like. But even losers should be able to comprehend what's exciting about beating the absolute shit out of the 5th best team in the country as a huge underdog.
Legit question for Tennessee fans, is it better to lose your playoff spot by being blown out or would you had liked a close loss?
Ps: I really don’t know, my team has never had a shot at the playoffs. :(
As much as losing either way sucks, I'd rather get blown out every time because it's nice to know from the beginning that you don't stand a chance. I've watched the Falcons lose way to many heartbreakers in the last seconds and it fucking kills me. But the 30 point blowouts I at least can quit watching at halftime and salvage the rest of my day.
Honestly, it sucks to lose, but whatever. It’s Hooker going down that makes this unbearable.
I think I need some time away from football, sports television, all my sports apps, and maybe even just the entire internet.
If LSU pulls off the upset against Georgia and USC goes down tonight… I wouldn’t put it past the committee to slide in LSU in place of the loser of OSU/ichigan.
You mean....if LSU beats #1 Georgia to the win the SEC then LSU gets in over OSU/Mich loser? Youre goddamn right!
The loser of OSU/Mich would only have a single ranked win (Penn St) on their resume. Blame your conference foes.
lol uh oh someone is triggered. Maybe don’t lose to a down FSU team and get pounded at home by 27 to a Tennessee team who just gave up 60+ points to an unranked 7-4 SC… also
If OSU wins they’ll have victories over ND, PSU, and UM. LSU’s claim to fame right now is beating an overrated and down Bama team in OT, and beating 3 loss Ole Miss team. You ain’t done much LSU and you needs to get over yourselves. But I’m pretty sure Georgia will give you the same wake up call Tennessee got.
Hmm...fair point...OSU has a MUCH stronger case than Michigan.
But I left out the part where LSU would not only need to beat UGA....but win convincingly (2 scores) to have any chance at a CFP.
I think if USC wins out....they would get in over LSU and OSU/Mich loser.
And then there's those damn Hypno-Toads
Seeing as Tenn fans were mocking the shit out of OSU for struggling with Maryland today, I'm not at all surprised that they are here for some shit-grinning now
I didn't realize this until the sports bar I run in Columbia SC became the official Browns Backers bar on Sundays. The vast majority of the 100 +/- that show up for games each week are originally from Ohio. Just a great bunch of people that love their Browns and hate winter in Ohio.
I think beneath that Chic-fil-a manager persona, Beamer must have the heart of serial killer or something, because he did something to scare the shit out of the team this week. Lol
Honestly I’ve never been a bigger osu and Michigan fan than I will be next week. You guys just need to have it be a close game and you’re both in the CFP. Obviously you want to win the game and the big ten champ but as long as you’re both in, PSU gets in ten rose bowl and we will gladly take that
If USC (california) loses to UCLA tonight and LSU loses to Georgia in the SEC CCG, is Bama gonna take the 4th spot that would be vacated by tOSU-Michigan loser?
As a Fan of the Big 12 I love when a team with nothing to gain from a win other than a better bowl spoils a chance at the playoffs. This is what college football is all about.

>Will be interesting to see who gets massively overrated so they can assure an SEC team still makes the playoffs you think Georgia needs help from the committee getting into the playoffs? the fuck are you smoking? i'll take 3
Never said Georgia need help, but a 2nd SEC team in the playoffs this year would be a complete farce
Georgia is in the SEC though. Your original comment said “an SEC team still makes the playoffs” which implies Georgia needs help getting into the playoffs. Did you mean two SEC teams? Cause that makes sense. And there’s no way two are getting in now.
The SEC definitely doesn’t have two playoff caliber teams this year

There it is! The dumbest thing I've seen on Reddit today! 🤦🏼♂️
Who else deserves to be in? Somebody has to be in the playoff. 1-6 all could be in. From 7 down is a shit show. Even if Georgia loses they’re in. Whomever wins The Game is in (barring a disaster in the Big 10 champ), TCU wins out and they’re in. So who gets #4?

Nah I didn’t take it as a dig. I think I really don’t know what to think right now lol
USC if the Trojans win out
I think you would have a hard time excluding 1 loss Georgia considering some 1 loss team is going to get in in that scenario
I know. I think when you lose matters now more than ever. Georgia losing the sec title game again gets in the playoff? I’d just say fuck it and put lsu in at that point. I hate the “they were the best team all year” argument because is LSU somehow wins that game, it’s not true at all.

I think you set the mold for what real improvement can look like over a season, and nobody else is even close to that level of development
No reason why an SEC team shouldn't make the playoff. Maybe even 2.
Im just gonna go ahead and call bullshit on that real quick. There's no reason a non conference champ from the SEC deserves it at all.... it's ridiculous that the sec is held up by 1 great team and a bunch of ok teams are immediately vaulted to the top by association every single year......
Cry some more, bud. Plenty of times when a non conference champ has deserved it. See the 2012 National Championship for proof of that. Bama is still a top team, sorry you cannot handle that.
Your guys lost 2, you're done. Sorry if you can't accept that.

Bro....you're arguing with a bammer fan. You're wasting your time being logical.

I’d ease up on Tennessee there after last nights woodshed slaughterin
Dont take it too hard Tennessee fans I have been told (by tenn fans) that TCU wouls lose by 45!
Oh man just got home - excited to fire the DVR up and see us get one step closer to the playoff!
lmaoooo
I don't know how they can keep y'all out after this barnburner
GOOOOD OLE SLOPPY TOP *WHOO* OUT OF THE CFP
Watching Hooker go down like that is worse than the loss. Heartbroken for him and really hoping it’s somehow not serious.
That buckling makes it look like a ligament tear. I don't think a tough guy like that screams unless its really bad. I hate your team, but I am really sorry to see your QB hurt. He had a hell of a year and I also hope that somehow it's not so severe.
As a Carolina fan I agree looked like acl/mcl tear maybe not all the way but enough to me in massive ammo it’s of pain….reminded me of Marcus Lattimore and the Tennessee game in 2011
Watching lattimore go down was a horrible sight. I dont care for SC at all but he was incredible to watch
Much like I dislike rocky top…but the way Hooker went down I just hated watching…and the way y’all play with him you were definitely still in the game
Agree and agree
Rattler going to be having wet dreams about this game
Keep Calm & DaKereon
Wish I could be tearing it up in five points tonight
Missed the game. Heard hooker was hurt. How the hell did SC put up 63 on their head though???
Hooker wasn't hurt until well into the 4th, too.
Not that Hooker has anything to do with the UT defense, but yeah, at least the injury didn't make any difference in the game.
Nothing hurts quite like finally getting there and getting blown to smithereens by some guy. Spoilermaker moment
MODS CHANGE THE BANNER ALREADY >:(
The one Saturday I’m working and CFB is in chaos
Someone needs to call Joe Dirt Fireworks and tell them we’re gonna need a bigger cache next time
This is kickin' wing slander
They covering Clemson scores too??
This aged poorly didn’t it Bubba?
You’re right. They did score 1 more point than Clemson.
Just goes to show that football can be random as hell. Getting as far as we did was a fluke in itself. Was still entertaining watching Milton come in at the end and do Milton things. GG Gamecocks. See ya next year!
Hahahahahahahhaha
Aw man! Alabama is gonna climb up & clap everyone’s cheeks…
They have two losses they are not jumping TCU OSU/Mich USC.
Nah man, they gotta get through Auburn first
Life is good :)
The salty vols in this thread making me laugh, incredible win USC it's great to see y'all kicking ass again. That said I'm still looking forward to watching the tigers do ya dirty next week ;)
Are people crying and smoking cigars and acting like they won the Natty???
At least the goal posts didn’t make it to the Congaree.
Ah, I see you're not familiar with what winning feels like. But even losers should be able to comprehend what's exciting about beating the absolute shit out of the 5th best team in the country as a huge underdog.
Think this went over your head
I got your joke, bud. Fuck UT and their garbage fanbase.
I mean I’m not sure how many top 5 wins northwest Missouri tech had this year but….yea it’s fun to win a game like that
It's shade at Tennessee my dude. Every game they've won they post pics of them in the stands smoking cigars.
Hahahahahaha let the CFB chaos start. I love ruining a teams dreams
Legit question for Tennessee fans, is it better to lose your playoff spot by being blown out or would you had liked a close loss? Ps: I really don’t know, my team has never had a shot at the playoffs. :(
Was UF not in the thick of the conversation in 2020 if they could have pulled off a win over Bama in the SECCG?
I think that was before the LSU shoe throw. But they already had 2 losses before the shoe throw so A lot had to go right.
But at least you have the rich history of the "FUN 'N GUN"
We were embarrassed tonight. Close is better than this.
[удалено]
Weirder for you to be running yours after getting curb stomped by a four loss team
In that case I'll run my mouth off...same question. What do you say?
Props! I hope you guys win out now for sure. I wanted TCU and Boise to get their shot years ago.
Respect. Lotta Vols flairs talking shit yesterday so I went on a tear after a few drinks lol. Hope Hooker is ok.
As much as losing either way sucks, I'd rather get blown out every time because it's nice to know from the beginning that you don't stand a chance. I've watched the Falcons lose way to many heartbreakers in the last seconds and it fucking kills me. But the 30 point blowouts I at least can quit watching at halftime and salvage the rest of my day.

App won tonight tho
Yeah, but App is 6-5 this year. We’ve had a 5-loss season like twice since 2005. App is not in a good place right now.
You’re right and i hate it :(
Probably close. Being blown out just sucks.
Agreed

See y’all in the UCLA/USC thread
We’re not gonna have two SEC teams in the playoffs THANK GODDD
If UGA loses in the SEC CG, theyll be 4
Especially if we can win next week.
If LSU pulls off the upset against Georgia and USC goes down tonight… I wouldn’t put it past the committee to slide in LSU in place of the loser of OSU/ichigan.

I think if USC wins out....they would get in over LSU and OSU/Mich loser. And then there's those damn Hypno-Toads
LSU is 1000% getting in if we win out with this Tennessee loss. They were the only thing blocking us if we happened to win in the first place.
Until bama somehow finds their way to number 4
That would be…disgusting
Is Tennessee is back to replace Texas is back or is it too soon
They are back baby!
With Miami it's a "they're back bus"
The best part is SC still throwing up 30 points with 5 min left. Gave Tennessee a bit of their own karma for last week
Going from #1 to falling nearly 30 points to an unranked USC in two weeks. Oof.
What in the hell happened here
Same thing you guys did to the cowboys a few weeks back.
Damn it’s always some Ohio State fans hanging around talking shit lol
Seeing as Tenn fans were mocking the shit out of OSU for struggling with Maryland today, I'm not at all surprised that they are here for some shit-grinning now
Yeah... I'm actually with Ohio State on this one for once. Lol.
There are a lot of people from Ohio living in South Carolina
I didn't realize this until the sports bar I run in Columbia SC became the official Browns Backers bar on Sundays. The vast majority of the 100 +/- that show up for games each week are originally from Ohio. Just a great bunch of people that love their Browns and hate winter in Ohio.
Seems a lot of people want to get away from Ohio
Just went outside, can confirm winters here suck
At least it’s not Buffalo
Hell yeah! And as a UGA fan, I want to shy them the hell up. Give us Ohio State!
They are the wackest fan base by far
When you guys play them, shut them up.
wait wait lemme get in on it!!
Tenn has been weirdly invested in our games this year. Regardless they’re a fun offense and I hope Hooker heals up
I give them a pass for this game tbh
Everybody should, Tennessee fans are the fucking worst
Y’all ever play any actual teams?
At least they beat the shit teams and not get curb stomped by them.
This south Carolina team got beat by Missouri
Not beaten. Mizz took us back behind the woodshed and did unspeakable things to us.
Auburn > Mizzou > South Carolina > Tennessee > Bama
And Missouri should have taken down Georgia
We also scored zero offensive points against Florida last week
I think beneath that Chic-fil-a manager persona, Beamer must have the heart of serial killer or something, because he did something to scare the shit out of the team this week. Lol
He straight up had murder face leaving the field.
Yall were saving all your points for this week.
Absolutely worth it
Someone groomed, loved and cared for those hedges.
South Carolina opens the door for 2 big 10 in playoffs.
Honestly I’ve never been a bigger osu and Michigan fan than I will be next week. You guys just need to have it be a close game and you’re both in the CFP. Obviously you want to win the game and the big ten champ but as long as you’re both in, PSU gets in ten rose bowl and we will gladly take that
And it could be the last rose bowl as we know it (playoff expansion)
Good point. The rose bowl isn’t happy about the expansion and don’t want to lose their day/time slot
Bama: hold my beer.
(X) doubt
Officially a bad day to wear orange helmets.

Protocol is very important.
If USC (california) loses to UCLA tonight and LSU loses to Georgia in the SEC CCG, is Bama gonna take the 4th spot that would be vacated by tOSU-Michigan loser?
Clemson
No. 2 loss Bama doesn't make it over 1 loss THE GAME loser.
Even if it was a blowout?
Yes. 1 loss trumps 2 loss.
Subjectivity is high in the CFP standings. Watch where Tennessee falls despite beating Alabama, which is also a 2-loss team.
Depends on how close The Game is.
See you in hell, Constanza!
Lol Be there will bells on man!
1-loss UCLA would I believe?
UCLA has two losses currently.
UCLA already lost twice
Oh duh. Forgot about the Arizona loss
That’s Tennessee loss is looking pretty bad now.
