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)
Maybe we did deserve to be in, maybe we didn't. But either way, I have a really hard time believing we would've made it to the semifinals again (just look how we did against Georgia).
Oklahoma deserved a spot with their resume though. No bad losses and solid wins. Doesn't matter if they were the worst P4 team in the field, I think UGA, Ole Miss, Texas, and Oklahoma would be acceptable.
But I think the point is their resume was boosted by SEC bias. Tennessee, Missouri, and Auburn probably wouldn't have been ranked if in B1G and definitely not in other conferences. They were not great teams.
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.
How is that a trash take? I dont think you know what a trash take is. A trash take is like “french fries are better than tatter-tots”.
Both of what I said are facts: Michigan did go through some stuff before the game with the Moore fiasco. It was 27-24 Michigan with 11 mins to go in the 4th. Underwood threw 2 INTs on the next 2 Michigan drives of which Texas scored 10(?) points off of.
like Texas didn't have a shitload of defensive talent sitting out.
Not sure that's equal to "our head coach lost his every loving mind and threated to kill his mistress in the biggest public freakout the sport has every seen."
And it was against a Michigan team who just lost their HC and the DC clearly didn’t give a shit leading up to and during the game. It should have been an easier win for the Longhorns than it was
Ya but your coach was trying to use the SEC gauntlet schedule as a reason to be in the playoff over other conferences. That delusion from SEC coaches, media and fans is what makes this so funny.
Anyone who's been watching CFB since at least 2006 has had SEC fatigue for a solid decade at least. ESPN's SEC narrative has been so insufferable that college football at large is ready to clown the SEC as much as they can.
I mean, I watched as fucking bottom dwelling SEC teams would break out into chants of SEC, SEC in their stadiums.
If you guys were still in the Big 12, I'm sure you'd feel the same way.
Tennessee fans like "we boat-raced Syracuse" like the entire ACC didn't do that (except Clemson). Bama couldn't beat the 13th best team in the ACC who had two conference wins.
Here’s an award because I still feel the same way. I miss the old big 12 with Nebraska’s and Colorado and A&M and Missouri. Today that conference would fucking thrive. Yeah you can blame us for a lot of it but hindsight is 20/20.
100% As a Sooner, I hope you lose every game in every sport. Ever. Would expect nothing less from you. As for the rest of the SEC, I want whichever outcome most benefits my team. Couldn’t care less otherwise.
I mean, I don’t disagree, but they held their own vs. Texas for 3 quarters despite being an absolute dumpster fire. So maybe Texas isn’t that much better.
A Sherrone team would’ve been worse. Biff had them playing harder and for pride. Though I know they’ve had roster changes, they dog walked us in the 2024 regular season too. They should’ve hung at least 11 more points on us that game.
Michigan was playing with a fuck-it attitude and taking risks to make plays. Moore was way more conservative and probably would have had a lot more shitty punts.
I mean that is how Texas is all season even G5 bottom of the rung teams hung on, but so did all 5 Playoff bubble teams. (including UGA that was close for 4 quarters then Kirby went psycho with onside kicks)
There was never an oldschool blowout like 70-3 vs Colorado in 2005.
Yeah, playing at their ceiling I actually do think Texas was probably one of the best teams. But it seems like they played mostly to the level of their competition, rather than their ceiling.
Yeah, I think most sane people are saying 2-8 because it doesn't make sense to count games against yourself. One says they won 29% of games the other shows they actually won 20%
It quite amazing to me that every year these SEC talking heads end up embarrassing themselves more than the last. You would have thought they learned by now. Even Finebaum threw in the towel.
The existence of the Coastal Division kept coastal chaos contained this whole time. When the ACC nixed the divisions, it was only a matter of time until it spread.
For all his failings, John Swofford understood that he was responsible for containing the strongest force in the universe and did so successfully for most of two decades.
Jim Phillips had no appreciation for what he had inherited. As a result, now the entire sport gets to witness what Coastal Chaos can do.
A lot of the middle of the conference had young teams that couldn't get it done in non-conference the first few weeks - SMU and Duke jump out here - that really tanked the conference's reputation early even though the teams improved a lot as the year went on
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.
Our fans, too. I don’t get why Utah fans were piping up BYU so much. We were never going to get in, not after we sucked the last 2 games. Our last 2 games being bad absolutely hurt BYU.
See, if the Big 12 was scheduling teams like Notre Dame every now and then, maybe the Big 12 would get more teams. But only our worst team scheduled a team that made the playoffs this year OOC. Next best OOC opponents all have 4+ losses: Iowa, SMU twice, Pitt, and ECU.
I would argue that the big12 is now worse than the acc after their last few expansions. Current teams account for 6 championships in tcu (1935, 1938), oklahoma state (1945), byu (1984), Colorado (1990), ucf (2017) and most their best teams.
In comparison the acc has 26 championships by current members and lost no teams in realignment.
Previous to realignment I would have said the acc was weakest of the 5 though.
Amazing victories and losses . The best victories and losses. They look at the victories and losses and say, WOW, great victories and losses. American victories and losses
I never particularly cared for them, and hell if they would've just gone "With NIL it's now way more even and there isn't that big a difference anymore." I would've been fine, but when they win is because of the "SEC Dominance." if they lose "If *Enter hypothetical here* they would've won" that bothers men.
Oh yeah ESPN and the SEC powers really soured me on the conference as a whole too. I just want regional competition back. I dont want to play Texas and Texas A&M every year. Give me Auburn and LSU back
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.
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
I root for other ACC teams out of conference. BC doesn’t really have any rivals I care about in the ACC, and I’d rather the teams we lose to be good lmfao.
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.
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.
Ole Miss and Texas doing heavy lifting
And Texas was the ONLY one to win against a non-SEC P4/5 opponent. Longhorns are literally carrying the conference at the moment.
The former Big 12 team giving the SEC their two expanded CFP wins and their bowl win this year against a P4 opponent!! All going to plan!!
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)
Maybe we did deserve to be in, maybe we didn't. But either way, I have a really hard time believing we would've made it to the semifinals again (just look how we did against Georgia).
If it wasn't Alabama, it would have been Notre Dame. Texas wasn't the last team out.
I agree, both ND and BYU were more deserving. I guess I should've specified that Texas is more deserving than Bama, not the others
Not just Bama but A&M and OU, the playoffs should have been UGA,Ole,Texas
Oklahoma deserved a spot with their resume though. No bad losses and solid wins. Doesn't matter if they were the worst P4 team in the field, I think UGA, Ole Miss, Texas, and Oklahoma would be acceptable.
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.
And conveniently leaving out A&M’s “playoff bubble team” win. Making them 1-0 in that made up category, and 7-1 otherwise.
The coping is wild from texas
A&M was 1-1 vs the bubble, beat ND (blown call), lost to Texas
But I think the point is their resume was boosted by SEC bias. Tennessee, Missouri, and Auburn probably wouldn't have been ranked if in B1G and definitely not in other conferences. They were not great teams.
I don't disagree, but in objectively trying to compare other teams...
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.
9-3 texas over 11-1 A&M? Yeah ok buddy.
Maybe try beating Florida next time

For a guy whose name is ActionsConsequences, you aren’t very aware of the consequences of losing 3 games.
That’s the Texas Entitlementtm that everyone who routinely deals with tsips is familiar with.
You lost the only game that mattered to you, that should have been your consequence.
Playoff games are tough to win. Especially against national championship teams
Yep - they are still the only SEC team to win a CFP game against a P4 opponent in the 12 team era
Against a team going through some stuff…and still looked shaky until the 4th.
What a trash take, like Texas didn't have a shitload of defensive talent sitting out.
How is that a trash take? I dont think you know what a trash take is. A trash take is like “french fries are better than tatter-tots”.
Both of what I said are facts: Michigan did go through some stuff before the game with the Moore fiasco. It was 27-24 Michigan with 11 mins to go in the 4th. Underwood threw 2 INTs on the next 2 Michigan drives of which Texas scored 10(?) points off of.
Not sure that's equal to "our head coach lost his every loving mind and threated to kill his mistress in the biggest public freakout the sport has every seen."
You know goddamned well Sherrone Moore wasn't the brains behind that team.
It doesn't mean there wasn't a ridiculous amount of distractions.
And it was against a Michigan team who just lost their HC and the DC clearly didn’t give a shit leading up to and during the game. It should have been an easier win for the Longhorns than it was
Beating that Michigan team as the conference's singular achievement in the post season is really something.
Well it was against a team that just had its head coach suddenly and publicly launched into the sun right before the game started..
To be fair, Texas got an easy path by being matched up with a mushy cupcake
I’m a Longhorn and I don’t give a shit how the other SEC teams do. I like to think other Longhorns feel the same way.
Ya but your coach was trying to use the SEC gauntlet schedule as a reason to be in the playoff over other conferences. That delusion from SEC coaches, media and fans is what makes this so funny.
are we using very standard campaigning tactics as a gotcha now
Anyone who's been watching CFB since at least 2006 has had SEC fatigue for a solid decade at least. ESPN's SEC narrative has been so insufferable that college football at large is ready to clown the SEC as much as they can.
I mean, I watched as fucking bottom dwelling SEC teams would break out into chants of SEC, SEC in their stadiums.
If you guys were still in the Big 12, I'm sure you'd feel the same way.
I also got to hear from fans of bottom-half SEC teams say how they'd be top-4 (or outright win) the ACC, which was frustrating
Tennessee fans like "we boat-raced Syracuse" like the entire ACC didn't do that (except Clemson). Bama couldn't beat the 13th best team in the ACC who had two conference wins.
Here’s an award because I still feel the same way. I miss the old big 12 with Nebraska’s and Colorado and A&M and Missouri. Today that conference would fucking thrive. Yeah you can blame us for a lot of it but hindsight is 20/20.
Except I didn't see Miami or BYU or the frickin' Western Michigan Broncos doing it, so no, it's not standard campaigning.
BYU was absolutely campaigning lol
Yeah, standard SEC bullshit so stop whining
Apparently so.
100% As a Sooner, I hope you lose every game in every sport. Ever. Would expect nothing less from you. As for the rest of the SEC, I want whichever outcome most benefits my team. Couldn’t care less otherwise.
And if there is no impact on me, I want the rest of the SEC to lose. SEC SEC SEC
The ACC is also now 8-6 against the SEC for the year
They also had a winning record vs. the SEC in 2023 when the committee stole FSU's bid.
FSU was 2-0 vs the SEC that year in the regular season :)
2-1 if you include bowl games :(
That bowl game doesn't count when the sec is the target of our wrath
I mean come on, that bowl game doesn't count for every reason.
It counts exactly when we want to shit on the acc or fsu
We need to get them separated from the mouse.
You'll never believe who runs the ACC's media network!!
Yeah, but you pay them more, so they push you more.
Miami is 3-0 in SEC play. This is more SEC wins than almost half their conference.
SEC is 4-10 but 2 wins and 2 losses are SEC v SEC games
The tough SEC schedule means they can only beat each other
The SEC is so strong that they're .500 in conference play.
It’s really 1.000 because those aren’t really “losses.”
Might as well make it 2.000 because the winning team wins, but the losing team somehow gets the benefit of a hypothetical win.
They are quality losses. It is against vaunted SEC opponents after all
Quality losses just mean more brother.
Name me a conference that went over .500 in conference play. See, everyone else was just trying to match the SEC’s .500 greatness! /s
ACC is basically the SEC, mostly southern teams and talent
I have some news for you about Syracuse and Boston College
Don’t forget Cal and Stanford
They didn't say which side of South
I mean Syracuse is on the southern coast....(Of Lake Ontario)
Its allegedly a cozy 65 to 70-ish degrees at every Syracuse home game. Does it get any more Southern than that?
Back in the day, it would be like 85 in there if it was a full house. They didn't have AC for the longest time
This is insane considering a literal HVAC company had its name on the building
All teams are southern if you're a Canadian fan
Ole Miss v Tulane
Texas v Michigan
Right?
:(
If Sherrone Moore could keep it in his pants, do we think they’re 1-9 OOC in the postseason with Ole Miss over Tulane being the only win?
No, Michigan sux
I mean, I don’t disagree, but they held their own vs. Texas for 3 quarters despite being an absolute dumpster fire. So maybe Texas isn’t that much better.
A Sherrone team would’ve been worse. Biff had them playing harder and for pride. Though I know they’ve had roster changes, they dog walked us in the 2024 regular season too. They should’ve hung at least 11 more points on us that game.
Michigan was playing with a fuck-it attitude and taking risks to make plays. Moore was way more conservative and probably would have had a lot more shitty punts.
I choose to disregard this bc I don’t like the wolverines
I mean, I do too, so… fair.
I mean that is how Texas is all season even G5 bottom of the rung teams hung on, but so did all 5 Playoff bubble teams. (including UGA that was close for 4 quarters then Kirby went psycho with onside kicks)
There was never an oldschool blowout like 70-3 vs Colorado in 2005.
Yeah, playing at their ceiling I actually do think Texas was probably one of the best teams. But it seems like they played mostly to the level of their competition, rather than their ceiling.
That's the spirit
So really 3-3 within the SEC (pls let us back in)
Correct. Thats it.
Yeah, I think most sane people are saying 2-8 because it doesn't make sense to count games against yourself. One says they won 29% of games the other shows they actually won 20%
SEC on SEC crime
Next year the entire sec will be in the 16 team playoffs so the sec can claim a title
Sankey really tried to make the case this year that the SEC deserved 7 teams and that five wasn’t enough. His greed really knows no end
It quite amazing to me that every year these SEC talking heads end up embarrassing themselves more than the last. You would have thought they learned by now. Even Finebaum threw in the towel.
He want the only one. Gameday said the SEC deserves 6-7 spots
“The 2027 National Championship game brought to you by our sponsor, Greg Sankey”
None of the other teams will have competed in the SEC for the regular season, to be fair.
Not if it’s a 32 team playoff
Ah yes the ACC, the conference most r/CFB redditors keep saying is the worst conference in the P4. Money is an amazing thing. We'd know.
SEC can’t handle coastal chaos, it broke containment into the CFP
The existence of the Coastal Division kept coastal chaos contained this whole time. When the ACC nixed the divisions, it was only a matter of time until it spread.
We did have an all-coastal title game with the most coastal outcome imaginable
If Duke had gotten their proper CFP seed it would be setting up an all coastal national championship game
A 3rd team advancing is truly chaos
:(
This is all UVA’s fault.
For all his failings, John Swofford understood that he was responsible for containing the strongest force in the universe and did so successfully for most of two decades.
Jim Phillips had no appreciation for what he had inherited. As a result, now the entire sport gets to witness what Coastal Chaos can do.
The only reason Pitt lost their game is because ECU is more coastal. You simply can’t stop the train
Costal chaos and the pac12 was a protection
The PAC held the chaos at bay for years, protecting the rest of college football. Their reward for this enormous sacrifice was to be called mid.
Now taste the chaos.
Also all the B12 people saying it's the P3 and excluding the ACC... Now they are all quiet like they weren't talking shit before
As a Big XII'er I'll admit the ACC has showed up and showed out in the post season.
A lot of the middle of the conference had young teams that couldn't get it done in non-conference the first few weeks - SMU and Duke jump out here - that really tanked the conference's reputation early even though the teams improved a lot as the year went on
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.
BYU fans got REALLY quiet after the TTU Oregon game, especially relative to how much chest pounding they were doing before.
Our fans, too. I don’t get why Utah fans were piping up BYU so much. We were never going to get in, not after we sucked the last 2 games. Our last 2 games being bad absolutely hurt BYU.
See, if the Big 12 was scheduling teams like Notre Dame every now and then, maybe the Big 12 would get more teams. But only our worst team scheduled a team that made the playoffs this year OOC. Next best OOC opponents all have 4+ losses: Iowa, SMU twice, Pitt, and ECU.
You aren’t a Big 12 fan if you aren’t cheering for the ACC over the SEC and Big 10.
Interesting isnt it
Well the last 20 years ACC has the most championships besides the SEC
They're tied with the Big Ten with three.
That's only if you count Michigan's as a legitimate title.
if they strip that on it goes to washington so still big 10
Pac 12.
That was before they joined.
I would argue that the big12 is now worse than the acc after their last few expansions. Current teams account for 6 championships in tcu (1935, 1938), oklahoma state (1945), byu (1984), Colorado (1990), ucf (2017) and most their best teams.
In comparison the acc has 26 championships by current members and lost no teams in realignment.
Previous to realignment I would have said the acc was weakest of the 5 though.
[deleted]
Amazing victories and losses . The best victories and losses. They look at the victories and losses and say, WOW, great victories and losses. American victories and losses
The most beautiful losses I’ve ever seen. People keep telling me “Sir! Your losses are absolutely beautiful!”
"I declare war on all other conference for these loses."
Many would say they are quality losses. In fact, every team in the SEC should be ranked in the preseason top 25 because of the quality of the losses.
No doubt. The SEC is the only conference that TRULY blocks, tackles, runs, passes and kicks. Just ask them. (2-8).
Yes, the conference checks all those. It’s just too bad none of the individual teams can do all those.
Our losses “just mean more.”
The SEC had 5 teams in the CFP and the only games they won were against each other and a G5.
ESPN really made people hate the SEC
Proud hater since 2011!
SEC fans didn't help themselves tbh
I never particularly cared for them, and hell if they would've just gone "With NIL it's now way more even and there isn't that big a difference anymore." I would've been fine, but when they win is because of the "SEC Dominance." if they lose "If *Enter hypothetical here* they would've won" that bothers men.
Oh yeah ESPN and the SEC powers really soured me on the conference as a whole too. I just want regional competition back. I dont want to play Texas and Texas A&M every year. Give me Auburn and LSU back
ESPN makes people hate everyone that's good
This is only partially to do with broadcasting
Mamma said the SEC is so ornery cause they got all them hypothetical wins but no expanded playoff championships
Yall keep saying how bad the SEC was in bowl season, but from my perspective, they were damn near perfect.
Hell yeah.
A few years ago, the Big Ten was X-1, with Michigan being the only losing team. From my view, it was a perfect record for bowl seasons.
I loved watching Texas put Michigan on ice. It was spectacular.
I look forward to SEC Roll Call updating the chalk board as only Matt can…
Crazy they didn't make the championship game again
It means so much fucking more though
It just means more
Losses
SEC down bad, crying at the gym
I just fell to my knees in a Piggly Wiggly parking lot.
Everything is coming out teenage petulance!
fuck it if i can't have him
I know they didn't have as good a year as the other two but feels disrespectful to leave out the B12
Reddit titles only have so many characters! Plus i went to FSU so words are hard
your degree is getting more valuable by the year then
we’re competitive with an acceptance rate at 24% and ranked #51 nationally (#21 public)
we play school
Oh im doing well. Just some fun banter
4-4 I think
Not bad tbh. I know at least one win was against the SEC.
All must bow down before 10 win Houston!
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.
Preseason #23 Auburn is gonna give me a fucking stroke
Louisville might be ranked if we start out 4-0.
Bruh
Send
Em to
Cancun
Does tomorrow become 10-5 for the big ten?
11-4 because we all win for having a good time
8 quality losses. That conference is amazing.
Can't wait for 7 SEC teams to be preseason top 25
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.
Whoever scheduled Nebraska vs Utah was an idiot
but the SEC also got another quality loss
A reminder some people said EVERY SEC team is a playoff team lol
Every SEC team is a playoff team*
*except for the ones that aren't
Not so easy to be the best when everyone can pay players now huh?
Careful now, Alabama Jones is gonna get mad at you with words like that
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. 🤘🏼
Micky Mickey mouse ahh conference
Imagine not getting a win against a non-sec P4 opponent in the bowl season lmao
God bless our devilish blue overlords
Dey sposed to be SEC!!!!
power 3, mid 1, and G5.
As an Arkansas fan, I consider a bowl appearance a win in of itself!
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
The dead horse is tired.

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
Can confirm, that's exactly what it means.
Thank you. I knew there was a reason we invited you to the ACC
Do y’all only back your own conference when the SEC has the worst record? Coulda sworn that backing a whole conference is weird activity lol
I think it’s less backing the big ten and ACC and more hating on the sec, and for good reason
I root for other ACC teams out of conference. BC doesn’t really have any rivals I care about in the ACC, and I’d rather the teams we lose to be good lmfao.
Yea I feel pretty ambivalent to most ACC teams except for doke and nc state, they can go to hell
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 back the PAC-12 always.
Always?
It’s ok to get blackout drunk every once in a while.
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.
