@roaminglion it’s my opinion Texas and ND are better than Tulane but we both know it’s not about the best 12 teams.
Yet you think Duke should be in. and they ain't one of the 12 best teams. By a wide margin@roaminglion it’s my opinion Texas and ND are better than Tulane but we both know it’s not about the best 12 teams.
So pick a lane... either it's about the 12 best teams, or it's about auto bids. You seem to change your mind based on who you are arguing about.
@underlion What the hell kind of hoody/suit coat is Pate wearing here??? smh
@TheChin Goofy isn't it? New version of the two piece suit substituting a gangster hoodie for a vest. Then we have the Hains T-shirt🤣
I'm old school. Sport coat with real shoes....casual is no tie.
Coach should have unbuttoned his jacket to sit down and the double windsor knot looks kinda big...Plus side is that he respected the day and a good interview. He is relaxed in his skin...not his suit.
I gotta quick question for you Southern...How are you so sure that Texas and ND are better than Tulane? Based on what criteria? This is my problem with all of this nonsense...How many "do overs" are we going to have to see? We already are going to have 3 in this current tournament...Accept it...These teams played games and some of them lost...It's that simple...I want to see FRESH games that aren't repeats of games that were already played...They rig this thing to the point where there is no chance that a team from their business interests isn't going to be in at least the quarter finals...It's a joke...And YES...I can't wrap my head around the fact that a team that didn't even qualify to be in it's conference championship game is in the tournament and the 2 teams that ACTUALLY PLAYED in the conference championship game are out of the tournament...This thing is so f'ing convoluted because of the elaborate machinations to put their sacred teams in that this thing isn't even remotely a national championship tournament that many of these teams earned their way in...All I want is a National Championship tournament that actually is an earn your way in championship...No eye tests beauty contest horseshit...Until they structure this thing where the 2 teams in the 4 power conference championship games are in with a group of 5 team along with 3 at large teams and the at large teams must be from different conferences or group of 5 team...I really believe there shouldn't be more than 3 teams from a conference in the 12 team tournament...The regular season gotta mean something...
@the-funeral-director Southern determines how good a team is by the helmets that they’re wearing. If it’s a team wearing a traditional blue blood helmet vs a team with wearing a helmet most people won’t recognize in his mind the blue blood will always win.
To be fair, Miami played neither Virgina nor Duke and all three lost the same amount of games to ACC opponents. The ACC's tiebreaker was just poorly written.I gotta quick question for you Southern...How are you so sure that Texas and ND are better than Tulane? Based on what criteria?

@roaminglion exactly! Duke should be in the playoffs and if the ACC is upset about Miami getting left out then force the ACC to take the top 2 teams like the big 10 and SEC do. Some folk have to be forced to do the right thing.
FD, I only give my opinion on the cards that I’m dealt. Recruiting and having the better players is the reason I believe Texas and ND is better that Tulane.

So you’re saying Penn State is better than UCLA and NW?
Your theory is once again nothing but bunk.
@psujoe where did I say Penn St is better than NW and UCLA this year? We lost on the field
@psujoe where did I say Penn St is better than NW and UCLA this year? We lost on the field
You just said the team with better recruiting and having better players is why Texas and ND is better than Tulane.
Is it not true that PSU recruits better than NW and UCLA?
Your theory is bunk. If NW and UCLA can be better than PSU this year Tulane can be better than ND and Texas
@psujoe the games were played between Penn St and NW and UCLA. FD asked me why I believe Texas and ND is better than Tulane when they haven’t played and I give him my opinion that because Texas and ND have better players than Tulane and the 2 teams recruit better than Tulane.James Franklin also got fired for losing games and imo Penn St does have better players than UCLA and NW going on what the recruiting experts say.

Nevermind, I give up.
Your theory is still bunk but obviously I can’t help you see it.
Screw all the crap on qualifying getting in the playoffs and just take the top 16 that fixes everything imo. If you want in the playoffs finish in the top 16
Ain’t no conference guaranteed shit if you want in the playoffs your ass better finish in the top 16! This is how I feel about it
Northwestern 22 - Michigan 24
Northwestern 3 - Tulane 23
Also, Tulane beat Duke the ACC Champ. You don't care
@roaminglion I’m the one that told you early on when James Franklin got fired Tulane was pretty good when you were hammering Duke for losing that game. Soon as Manny was brought up you started on them losing to Tulane.
Don't worry about it Southern. The only thing that matters are the gas prices 2.68 gallon
Yes, beacause I was using your own logic against you. You say on one hand they don't belong in the CFP, and then when it suits you the arguement changes to they are good because it makes Manny losing to them better@roaminglion I’m the one that told you early on when James Franklin got fired Tulane was pretty good when you were hammering Duke for losing that game. Soon as Manny was brought up you started on them losing to Tulane.
You also claimed UConn was good for the same reason
@roaminglion UCONN is a good football team for their level of play Jim Mora turned that team around but It was a bad loss for Duke. I’m not saying Tulane shouldn’t be in the playoffs I’m saying Duke should be in over Miami since they won the ACC. I do believe Tulane and James Madison will get drilled but we gotta play the games.

LMAO !! C'mon Southern you can't be serious !! As someone else has said pick a lane and stay in it !
You just made my point for me Southern...Do you believe Penn State has better football players than UCLA? Northwestern? I agree with you...Penn State by far had more talent than both of those teams and yet on those particular days they lost those football games...That is why I feel so strongly about these lesser brands being in the tournament at the expense of 5 teams from a single conference...This is supposed to be competition...I don't need to see replays of conference games already played...I want to see these other teams get an opportunity to compete...On any given day...These teams deserve their day to compete...
@psujoe I ain’t got but one lane homer and that’s the right 😂
@the-funeral-director ain’t enough spots to take a chance on teams like James Madison. Just take the top 16 by the CFP committee and let the chips fall where they fall.
James Madison earned their way into the tournament...Do I think they are going to win their game? NO...Do they deserve the chance to compete? ABSOLUTELY!!! One of these years a team like James Madison is going to knock off one of your so called "blue bloods" and advance to the quarterfinals...I truly believe that if they would have allowed UCF into that sham tournament a few years back they had as good of a chance to win that thing as any of those other beauty contest teams they put in there...I will take 30 blowouts by a blue blood to get the opportunity to watch a team like that UCF team go in and smack one or 2 of these blue blood teams in the mouth and make a run at it...One of these years that is going to happen...That is the beauty of sports and what makes sports so great...Nobody gives a rats ass about the name on the front of the jersey...For that 2 or 3 hours you get to compete and every now and then you see a team like the 69 Mets or 68 Jets or 86 Villanova Wildcats shock the world...That to me is what sports is about...They can take this invititational tournament and stick it up their asses...This ain't competition...This is a network stacking the deck with it's business partners for the betterment of it's own business interests...All the while trying to feed you a bunch of bullshit as to why those teams and that conference is so superior...Which is horseshit....That conference hasn't won in 2 years and they ain't winning this one either..The only reason they dominated the earlier format is because they could stack that tournament and rig it for their own desired outcome...The best football conference in the country for the last 3 seasons has been the B1G and ESPN and their surrogates and lackeys can't handle it...Their answer is to go back and try to jimmy the system to ensure through their propaganda machine to make sure the SEC stays relevant and to do all they can to push their false narrative that the SEC is the best football conference in America...Their desperation and elaborate machinations to push this narrative are laughable and nauseating because they insult your intelligence...If you listen to them losses are better than wins and you shouldn't believe your lying eyes...The problem they face right now is people have caught on to their game and are beginning to speak up...Remember the con starts in August when they rank 14 of their teams in the top 25 so almost EVERY win in that conference is a quality win against a top 25 team...They can't win the big games anymore so now they push the "some losses are better than wins" bullshit...You gotta love these propaganda machines...
