College football week 14 thread: ATLiens

Any team that lost to Texas this season would be immediately disqualified.

 

At home. By double digits. At home.

 

It’s just too bad that Georgia sucks so bad this year.

 

Also, watch more schools willingly run it up down the road, just in case you didn't think this was occurring before.

Think the committee didn't see Texas hammering Oklahoma State, while Florida State was more workmanlike - or whatever other sportswriting term you want to fling out there – against Louisville?

This is going to get worse. Tempers are going to flare. Some kids are going to get hurt during garbage time because, hey, we need another touchdown to impress the committee. And the WWL is going to lap up every drop and try to charge the cable outlets – soon, the outlets trying to stream its work – more.

 

You could tell Georgia was great this year by the way they beat the shit out of TCU in January.

 

Would love to see FSU and UGA decline the bowl.

“Nah, we’re good. Y’all pick some other “deserving” team for it.”

WALOHS (what a load of horse shit)

 

The amount of butthurt over this is pretty entertaining. It’s a game.

 

Hubert Davis and Bubba Cunningham, please pick up the white courtesy phone.

 

This year is different. An unprecedented decision was certain.

 

It's a sports journalism message board. Should we switch to pop culture?

 

They were talking about that last night, saying FSU needed to run up the score when it had two chances to score in the final four minutes instead of doing the prudent thing and just running the clock to end the game.

 

My feelings about committees were mostly formed before the 1990 NCAA basketball tournament. Loyola Marymount was ranked, I think, No. 8 in the nation for most of the final month. After Hank Gathers died, they were made a No. 11 seed in the tournament, which translates to a ranking of 41 to 44. My argument then, as now, is that it's a "team game" and these decisions should not be made based on an injury or, in that case, a death. And LMU won three tournament games.

Were there not a few games this season in which Milroe, the Alabama quarterback, was the backup? The coach thought somebody else was better. So they eventually went with the backup and he produced. Players step up by growing during the season and getting more reps when given a bigger role.

This is all bullshit. Repeating yourself -- i.e. QYFW -- does not make you right. What's right is selecting the 4 most deserving teams. None of the SEC teams were deserving this season because of on-field results. So fuck them. It has been a running joke FOR YEARS that Alabama get in regardless. And, look, it happened again.
