    Texas was trending at the right time. Shame they didn't get in over Alabama in hindsight. I get it, but they looked better in the last 4 weeks of the season than Alabama

    EDIT: I really only mean that Texas was more deserving than Alabama, not the rest of the field (BYU/ND)

    Oklahoma was 1-2 vs Playoff bubble teams tho, their schedule was actually pretty trash unlike early season predictions.

    A&M's schedule was a dogwalk they played the bottom 7 of the conference + Texas and guess their record, yup 7-1.

    parent root

    And conveniently leaving out A&M’s “playoff bubble team” win. Making them 1-0 in that made up category, and 7-1 otherwise.

    3 points Dro24

    I don't disagree, but in objectively trying to compare other teams...

    • OU Wins: Michigan, @ Tennessee, @ Alabama, Mizzou
    • OU Losses: Texas (Cotton Bowl), Ole Miss

    • ND Wins: NC State, USC, Navy, @ Pitt

    • ND Losses: @ Miami, Texas A&M

    • BYU Wins: ECU, Arizona, Utah, Iowa State, TCU, Cincy

    • BYU Losses: @ TTU, TTU (CCG)

    • Vandy Wins: Mizzou, @ Tennessee

    • Vandy Losses: @ Alabama, @ Texas

    • Utah Wins: ASU, Cincy

    • Utah Losses: TTU, @ BYU

    I still think OU's resume is the best here, outside of maybe BYU. I can understand the argument for any of those top 3, but Oklahoma's inclusion is not the one I'm upset about.

    3 points Rude_Highlight3889

    Agreed. FSU has a little more experience and beat Bama by two scores, never surrendering a lead, and still struggled mightily in conference play. The ACC was severely underrated.

    Like, even take Virginia for instance. 10 win team that lost their conference championship and wasn't even close to sniffing the playoff but they go beat an SEC team in their bowl by more than Bama did, who also had 10 wins and lost their conference championship. If common opponents really mattered the way it's said they do, Virginia would have been considered over Bama for beating FSU, who again, Bama lost to by double digits. But Bama got to start in the top 10 while Virginia was unranked so the early season rankings hurt the ACC as well.

    In comparison the acc has 26 championships by current members and lost no teams in realignment.

    ACC was a better conference than the SEC by almost every objective measurement. Yet, next season, LSU will be ranked ahead of every ACC team. It’s a joke.

    Tennessee and South Carolina getting top 15 rankings will be the cherry on top.

    I believe 10 teams. SEC currently has 8 AP top 25. The voters will add LSU and Tennessee in preseason. Fans will be angry again.

    Aside from Texas I think I’m pretty normal in saying I don’t care what other conference teams do. I was a little nervous about all of the Longhorns sitting out for the bowl game so it was nice to see them put it away in the 4th. Kudos to Michigan for playing hard with the level of distraction they’ve had off field.

    Now I just want some entertaining games to finish the year off, much like Miami - Ole Miss last night. This conference fan shit is weird. 🤘🏼

    We’ve seen this before though. The SEC will have a subpar OOC to start the season next year and yet by the end of the season all we will hear about is SEC supremacy

    I went to FSU so I dont know what 'lowest common denominator' means but I'll assume it means the ACC is the best conference. Thanks.

    EDIT: Awwww why'd you delete the comment, it was fun! It said something about the comparing records in bowl games with opt outs is the lowest common denominator or something. IDK i can barely read

    It’s pretty simple ESPN needs to stop playing favorites and P4 conferences should be looked at as even playing fields.

    People would stop bitching if it wasn’t blatant bias in Polls and Seeding.

    Oh good grief. Conference this, SEC that. You brought it on yourselves with your constant conference chest-thumping and absurd conference claims (how many times have we heard “the worst SEC team could win any other conference”), your incessant conference “chant,” your “It Just Means More” conference slogan, your loud-mouthed, blowhard conference Commissioner, your contracted conference mouthpiece, ESECPN with your drooling acolyte Finebaum telling us how dominant the SEC is, etc.  It’s tiresome, idiotic, disrespectful, and thus is human nature for those subjected to your incessant claims of superiority to take joy in watching you fail and fail big. Get real. Lol.

    I hate Miami, but I love to play them when they're up. Miami vs VT in 2011 when Logan Thomas scored on 4th and 2 up against Jacory Harris is still one of my favorite moments as a fan, and I heard it on the radio.

    Beating them in 2006 was another awesome one, I was drunk in a bar in Blacksburg. I watched that one.

    And when we beat them to win our first ACC title in my dorm room sent Pritchard Hall into a frenzy.

    Yeah, I like playing em when they're up.

    It's just a natural reaction to sports media hype. ESPN had a massive financial conflict of interest in controlling the narrative and pushing SEC elitism. We hear about it all season, then 5 SEC teams get into the cfp.

    Of course it's satisfying to see it all fall apart.

    I back the Big 10 minus Nebraska every year. Always have but it intensified when the SEC was on their streak and just constantly berated all other conferences. And then there is always the justification that 10 SEC schools should be ranked.

    It grew tiresome and it made us all hate the SEC.
